COI tag (August 2022)[edit]

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons_talk:Abuse_filter&diff=prev&oldid=680121378 — Jeff G. ツ 17:59, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request for COI tag removal[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I'm requesting a removal of the COI tag as the information that I've updated was written in an unbiased way. The materials that were updated include programming updates of what the station is currently airing, and staff that are on the air, as well as the station logo in the infobox.

This information can be verified with our website's personality page: https://1350kman.com/personalities/

Schedule information can be found here: https://1350kman.com/schedule/ StevenAtKMAN (talk) 13:52, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done I've removed the tag along with all of the unsourced text. Please do not add back information without including appropriate sources. @Jeff G.: Putting this on your radar since you added the COI tag. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:55, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request for edit: Add information[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. Some or all of the changes weren't supported by neutral, independent, reliable sources. Consider re-submitting with content based on media, books and scholarly works.

Since I'm a COI, I'm requesting that the following changes be made to this article. Each source is indicated at the end of each paragraph. If you need any clarification, or a different kind of sources please let me know, I'd be happy to provide it.

"The current weekday programming schedule is "KMAN Morning News with Troy Coverdale, and Brandon Peoples" (6a-9a), "In Focus" (9a-10a), "Ken Coleman" (10a-11a), "The Dave Ramsey Show" (11a-2p), "Dan Patrick Show" (2p-4p), and "The Game" (4p-6p), which features Mitch Fortner David Garcia, and Troy Coverdale. KMAN is also the flagship station of the K-State Sports Network, airing Wildcat football, baseball, and men's & women's basketball. The station produces "Powercat Gameday" as a lead-off to its Wildcat football and men's basketball coverage. The football edition is two hours in length, and airs four hours before every kickoff, while the basketball edition runs one hour and airs two hours before tip off for selected games. In addition, the station also broadcasts football, baseball, and basketball games featuring the Manhattan High Indians. KMAN is the Manhattan area affiliate for both the Kansas City Royals (MLB) and the Kansas City Chiefs (NFL), and airs play-by-play sports from ESPN and Westwood One." [SOURCE]

"On September 21, 2015, KMAN announced that it had purchased a translator and would now also be broadcasting its programming on 93.3 FM in addition to 1350 AM and the stations' website. The move ensured a higher quality signal into the Junction City and Fort Riley area. Within two weeks, KMAN announced the acquisition of a second translator that would carry the station into the Wamego area on 93.7 FM. Not only did these improvements bring the KMAN signal into a larger area, it also provides programming at a higher wattage 24 hours a day. The AM signal must be powered down at sunset due to FCC regulations." (FOR 93.3FM - [SOURCE] 93.7's announcement article was lost, however we do transmit on that frequency as well.)

"There is not currently a named Program Director, the News Director is Brandon Peoples, and the Sports Director is Mitch Fortner. KMAN is a primary local news media outlet covering the Manhattan area as well as Riley, Pottawatomie and Geary counties. KMAN is part of Manhattan Broadcasting Company, which also owns and operates four other stations (KMKF, KXBZ, KACZ, and KBLS) and an increasing digital presence." [SOURCE]

"Richard Wartell was the long-time General Manager of Manhattan Broadcasting Company. He retired on November 12, 2015, after nearly 30 years at the helm. Corey Reeves, the former Operations Director, was promoted to General Manager." [SOURCE]

Again if you have any questions, please let me know! (StevenAtKMAN (talk) 19:42, 10 August 2022 (UTC)) StevenAtKMAN (talk) 19:37, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Only sources provided are from the radio station itself, and the requested content are largely generic facts that mutatis mutandis apply to most radio stations. Some of the content (i.e. what sports teams/events it covers) could be added if there are independent reliable sources. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 20:42, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
