It is not blatant advertising but has been routinely edited to mislead. The topic's website is majority banner ads and clickbait. Fishplater (talk) 08:35, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: Seems to meet WP:NRADIO. Community radio in the United Kingdom lists this community radio station as broadcasting more than one local DAB multiplex: DAB in Herts, Beds and Bucks (10D) --Whiteguru (talk) 12:00, 4 June 2021 (UTC)]
- Keep Meets WP:NRADIO although more information about the output of the station needs to be added as well as additional independent references. Rillington (talk) 13:22, 6 June 2021 (UTC)]
- Keep Meets ]
- Delete This fails WP:NRADIO is not a SNG exempt from meeting GNG (very few are.) I do not think the references in the article are independent or reliable enough to show notability, and a BEFORE search brings up no sources which would help save the article.

- Keep: The sources in the article seem reliable. I also found a few reliable sources which talk some of the station's programming: [1], [2], [3] and [4]. It was granted a full-time license last 2015. It was nominated as one of the Most Charitable Businesses at the annual MK Inspirational Awards last 2017. That said, along with the reasons above, the article is good enough to pass ]
- Those sources are either not reliable/independent (first two) or not significant coverage (last two). Furthermore, ]
