- @Theleekycauldron: I think he's just being vague. I mean, this is a 2013 article describing a pre-1982 radio signal... Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:16, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing on KMSU's current nature

Nothing in the article addresses the station's current nature and what led up to it. At the very least, it should reflect the overview on the KMSU summary and details from the About page on the university's website. Instead, the history stops at 1992, omitting 32 years of development. Meanwhile, there's no information on the state of the station today. Allreet (talk) 23:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
