WFSH-FM

WFSH-FM (104.7 MHz) is a radio station licensed to Athens, Georgia, and serving Metro Atlanta. The station is owned by Salem Media Group and it airs a Christian contemporary radio format. It is branded as The Fish 104.7 and describes itself as "Safe For The Whole Family." Between Thanksgiving and the weekend after Christmas, the station plays all Christmas music, both religious and secular.

WFSH-FM has its offices and radio studios in the Buckhead district of Atlanta. The transmitter is on the tallest radio tower in Georgia, located off Piney Grove Road in Loganville, about 30 mi east of Atlanta. The height above average terrain (HAAT) of this tower allows the station to better penetrate office buildings in Atlanta. The effective radiated power (ERP) is 24,000 watts, making it a class C1 station.

WDOL/WJSR
In January 1964, the station signed on as WDOL-FM. It was the FM counterpart of AM 1470 WDOL (now WXAG). Both stations were owned by James S. Rivers, who served as the president. Because WDOL was a daytimer, WDOL-FM simulcasted the AM station's country music format during the day and continued on its own after sunset when WDOL had to be off the air. WDOL-FM was powered at only 3,500 watts, limiting its signal to Athens and adjacent communities, not hitting the larger Atlanta radio market.

In the 1970s, the station got a boost to 50,000 watts. As more people acquired FM radios, WDOL-FM switched its call sign to WJSR and aired a progressive rock format, while co-owned WDOL continued as a country outlet.

WAGQ
In 1976, WJSR was acquired by Broadcast Properties, Inc. The station flipped to Top 40/CHR, as WAGQ, and became an affiliate of the ABC Contemporary Network. Even though the station had a 50,000 watt signal on a 230 foot tower, it was still limited to serving Athens and its surrounding towns.

In the mid-1980s, WAGQ asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit to double its power to 100,000 watts and greatly increase its antenna height to over 1,000 feet, using to a tower closer to Atlanta. This would make WAGQ a "move-in station," serving the more lucrative Atlanta market. The FCC granted the request, making WAGQ a Class C1 station.

WALR
In 1989, the station was sold to Ring Radio, Inc., which also owned WCNN. "Music Radio 104.7" debuted, with a hot adult contemporary format. The station switched its call sign to WALR in July 1990.

On October 8, 1990, WALR-FM was relaunched with an urban adult contemporary format as "Love 104.7", then later on as "Kiss 104.7". This was the second incarnation of the "Kiss" branding, after it was previously used in the mid-1980s on WEKS (the former call sign on 104.1). Under this format, it was the first permanent competitor to attempt to chip away at the African-American audience enjoyed by heritage urban station WVEE.

WFSH-FM

On August 30, 2000, WALR and its adult urban format moved to 104.1, now known as "Kiss 104.1," to make room for Christian Contemporary "104.7 the Fish." The swap was part of an asset exchange between Cox Media Group and Salem Communications.

WFSH-FM hosts "Celebrate Freedom Atlanta" each year on Labor Day weekend. The free outdoor concert features 15 to 20 artists and takes place at Jim R. Miller Park in Marietta, Georgia. The concert had an attendance of 42,000 its first year in 2007.

Programming
WFSH-FM is one of three Christian Contemporary stations serving Metro Atlanta, along with 106.7 WAKL (a K-Love station which originates no local content) and 93.3 WVFJ-FM. Unlike its competitors, which are run by non-profit organizations and seek donations, WFSH-FM is a commercial radio station. Salem uses "The Fish" as the moniker for several of its Christian Contemporary stations, including KFSH Los Angeles, WFHM-FM Cleveland and WFFH Nashville. The fish, called the Ichthys, was used as a symbol of the early Christian Church.

Personalities
WFSH-FM is unusual in having all weekday air shifts hosted by women DJs. The morning show is co-hosted by a man and a woman.
 * Kevin & Taylor mornings (since WFSH-FM's debut)
 * Parks Stamper middays (since WFSH-FM's debut)
 * Beth Bacall afternoons
 * Penny Faulkner evenings
 * Uncle Buck, Margaret Cheeley, Kim Fitz, Mark Harp and Curt Zehner weekends

Talk:Interesting number paradox

The set is defined as uninteresting
The numbers in the set are defined as uninteresting. Redefining a number in the set as interesting cannot be done since a set is specifically defined. Saying that an uninteresting number is interesting because it is the smallest number of an uninteresting set is to say the set is improperly defined, making the paradox moot. The number is uninteresting by definition. Saying the number is "smallest" and therefore "interesting" is inconsequential. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.10.252.162 (talk) 05:50, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The point is that the set cannot be well-defined. Although one could comment that if A is the smallest member of the set, which makes it interesting and therefore not in the set, where does that leave A? It's no longer interesting because its reason for being interesting is now invalid. -mattbuck (Talk) 08:56, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
 * That goes against the definition of a set. A set, by definition, is well defined. It is impossible to have an interesting number in an uninteresting set, if and only if there is a defined set of interesting numbers outside of the uninteresting set. Therefore, saying a number is interesting therein is fallacious. However, even if there is a subset of interesting numbers the fallacy is in the assumption that there is a set outside of the uninteresting set with the same definition. Again, this defeats the purpose and disregards the definition of a set. Merely saying a number is interesting is not enough, once it has been defined it is done; such is the definition. The paradox only comes in if you allow yourself to distort the definition of the set for the purpose of the paradox, which is again, a fallacy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.10.252.162 (talk) 17:11, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Interest is an emotion, not a number
Both interest and uninteresting is not a paradox. it is like being bored of something exciting, or sad that you'll never be this happy again. Emotions cause their opposites all the time, so there is no paradox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.204.97.52 (talk) 05:38, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Analysis
(Copied from 1729 number discussion page - the comment seems more pertinent here)

a) Should the statement that a number is interesting because it is the smallest uninteresting number be treated as an axiom? Acceptance or rejection of the axiom would be a matter of individual choice. Xenoglossophobe

 * Agreed, so I disagree with the artcile's statement that
 * there would be a smallest number with no interesting properties (for instance, 38 could be a candidate). This in itself would be an interesting property of the number, so it would no longer be dull.
 * —msh210 18:20, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

b) As the application of this putative axiom to the smallest uninteresting number leads to its removal from the list of uninteresting numbers and places the next lowest uninteresting number in a similar position that also requires its removal (and so on, ad infinitum), should this be regarded as proof by mathematical induction rather than proof by contradiction? Xenoglossophobe

 * I wouldn't call it an axiom, it's more a definition. It could be made into a proof by induction, but it is currently expressed as proof by contradiction.  "Say we wish to prove proposition p. The procedure is to show that assuming 'not p' (i.e. that p is false) leads to a logical contradiction. Thus p cannot be false, and must therefore be true."  P is "there is no smallest uninteresting number."  We assume not p (there is a smallest uninteresting number), and show the contradiction.  Therefore p. A proof by induction would work completely differently.  anthony (this comment is a work in progress and may change without prior notice) 21:46, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

 * The suggestion is made based on the following understanding of the prinicple of mathematical induction: induction requires a) the demonstration of some property of the first item in a list (which, I agree, has has been claimed in this particular case using contradiction) and b) the demonstration of a chain of implication in which the presence of this property in a general item in the list implies the presence of the same property in the next item, such that the implication extends to every member in the list, even one of infinite length. Xenoglossophobe

 * All cases have been shown by contradiction. If there is no smallest uninteresting number, then there must not be any uninteresting number.  I'd say that step is obvious.  I guess you could form an inductive proof for it, though. anthony (this comment is a work in progress and may change without prior notice) 22:20, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Resolvable?
Removed:
 * This paradox is, however, resolvable. It may be noted that in this example 38 is the infimum for the set of dull numbers: while not dull itself, there are no dull numbers less than 38.

This is not a resolution of paradox. It is a treachery, done by substituting the definition. What kind of logical fallacy is this? Mikkalai 23:56, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Interesting number paradox a mathematician has to rewrite this article away from its sensationalist, rather than encyclopedic style. Some statements are plain false if under scrutiny (I've already removed the most evident one). Mikkalai 00:03, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * It's just a poor, thin thing - I don't see any future in it. Charles Matthews

Added tag, but IANAM. --Jim Henry 20:11, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Why is this page so serious?
This page is written as if the Interesting number paradox is a serious mathematical concept which actually proves something. It's meant to be fun. People reading this artcile will get the impression that there are no uniteresting numbers and that this has been proven mathematically!--Heathcliff 23:35, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

It isn't a paradox! It's a proof that there are no dull elements of a well-ordered set.--SurrealWarrior 02:37, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Yes, well... it is a "paradox" in an intuitive sense that "we all know that numbers can't all be interesting," but we cannot find the smallest dull one -- perhaps, SurrealWarrior, it's a proof that the natural numbers are not a well ordered set? (ha ha, just joshing). Anyway, the tone is a bit too stony-faced: an encyclopedia article should let the reader in on the joke. I think Martin Gardner came up with the idea, and the great man often wrote tongue-in-cheek about perfectly serious mathematics. This paradox is semi-serious. Since the idea of "interesting" is so very subjective, this will never be really serious; and yet the self-referential nature of the paradox follows in the footsteps of many paradoxes that rely on naive set theory. And to paraphrase Martin Gardner, this last sentence of my comment is totally uninteresting, so I say don't even bother to read it. :-) --LandruBek 05:26, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Encyclopedias are not joke books
Note: added tone template--Keer lls ton 11:43, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Every interesting encyclopaedia contains at least one joke. Otherwise a given encyclopaedia is uninteresting. (That is notwithstanding that it might be the smallest uninteresting encyclopaedia and all the ensuing logical consequences inconvenient to this line of argument given the immediate neighbourhood of content with respect to the family of all interest-driven finite random walks.) --125.253.44.20 (talk) 13:35, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Regarding "human knowledge is countable and finite"
What could possibly be the justification for such a strong claim? I propose it be removed until justified. 17:09, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Under normal assumtions about the way the Universe works humans cannot have infinite amounts of knowledge. You cannot learn an infinite number of things, because that would generate an infinite amount of heat and require an infinite amount of energy.  Tbjablin 22:31, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I feel you presume too much, largely through fuzzy definitions. If "human knowledge" is meant to be interpreted as some abstract list of facts determined to date then it is of course countable but I believe this is discretizing/modelling what we actually mean by "human knowledge".  I would concede this latter thing is naturally bounded but strictly uncountably infinite.
 * If human knowledge does not mean the union of the set of things known by each human, I don't know what else that term could mean. Also, even if human knowledge were infinite, I think it still would be countable.  The set of all strings in any alphabet is coutable.  Tbjablin 12:27, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think human knowledge is finite or countable at all! For example, here is the title of a trivial list of uncountably many things that I know: For all real numbers x, there exists a real number y such that x+y=0. Replace x with any real number--all uncountably infinitely many of them--and you get a fact that is a part of human knowledge. That is, there are uncountably many facts that fit the stated format, and each one is something that is known by humans.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.193.144.19 (talk) 18:55, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Nope, that's a single fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.219.84.14 (talk) 21:54, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Surreal numbers
Similarly, I removed the mention of surreal numbers. I don't see how they could have anything to do with the interesting number paradox. There are sets smaller than the surreals that are not well-ordered. Isomorphic 22:48, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

197.3341 is a singularly bad example of an uninteresting real number
because it is one of the very few real numbers that have been used throughout history to illustrate the concept of an uninteresting real number. Dmharvey 03:17, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I think the problem here is that any number given as an example of an uninteresting number would in itself be interesting, by virtue of being singled out as an example of an uninteresting number. When I read 197.3341 as an example of an uninteresting number, I immediately assumed it was the author's intent that this, in itself, be a paradox. BGreeNZ 04:28, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Does not prove that all numbers are interesting
Ok, suppose 38 is the smallest uninteresting number, but by virtue of being the smallest uninteresting number, it is therefore interesting. Fine. And then 39 is the smallest uninteresting number, so it becomes interesting as well... um... what about 38? If 39 is the smallest uninteresting number, 38 no longer is, and so 38 is no longer interesting. But then it becomes the smallest uninteresting number again, so 39 goes out and 38 comes back in. You can't have two smallest uninteresting numbers, so only one number can be made interesting for this reason.

So there's a paradox, yes, but this paradox stops the chain dead in its tracks. 38 and 39 will keep switching places, but this roadblock prevents the logic from being extended to 40, 41, 42, etc. So there is a major problem with trying to say that this proves that all numbers are interesting. Argyrios 17:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I think it would be quite interesting if both 38 and 39 were the smallest uninteresting number. Dmharvey 02:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

 * lol. Sure, "if," but the point is they can't both be. There can only be one "smallest uninteresting number," so you can't say that every uninteresting number is actually interesting by virtue of being the smallest. Or, you know what, let's just say for the sake of argument that you can have multiple "smallest uninteresting numbers." Now there is a different problem: You can't just forget about why you made the previous numbers interesting. If you have this whole smorgasbord of numbers that are supposedly all interesting because they are all the smallest uninteresting number, then it's no longer particularly special to be the smallest uninteresting number, is it?
 * I tend to regard the smallest uninteresting number as an honorary degree which didn't involve passing any exams. MaxEnt 21:02, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

 * If 38 and 39 are in some kind of quantum state of uncertainty over being the smallest uninteresting number (like Schrödinger's cat is both living and dead at once), then perhaps that would make 40 interesting as the lowest definitively uninteresting number not part of this fog of uncertainty... but making it so brings it into the fog itself, and then you can extend this by induction upward. *Dan T.* 14:21, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Flaw who says the smallest uninteresting number is interesting on that basis?--Keer lls ton 11:45, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I seriously don't see the problem, 38 can be the smallest uninterresting number, AND for that; be interresting, at the same time. See: Schrödinger's cat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.144.18.242 (talk) 20:20, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Origin
I'm trying to track down the source of this paradox, but I haven't had any luck yet. Chris Caldwell traces it back to a letter of G. G. Berry (0000206 in the Russell Archives of McMaster University) and calls it Berry's paradox: "You will often find Berry's paradox stated as 'every integer is interesting.'". I think Berry's paradox is usually understood to be the proof about the smallest number definable in less than X words/letters/keystrokes, though, and from a quick Google search it appears the letter is about this paradox.

The article suggests that Gardner may be the origin of this paradox. Any thoughts? CRGreathouse (t | c) 23:29, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I read it in a Swedish book at least 20 years ago. I don't know it if was a Swedish original or an translation. The paradox was that there are not an least interesting integer. The book was about popular mathematics and if I remember correctly that story was about 2 mathematicians that made a cab ride and the number of the cab was dull. I just found that number, its 1729 as mentioned in this discussion page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1729_%28number%29 . I guess that the paradox was written in association with that story. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.231.32.208 (talk) 15:44, 21 April 2007 (UTC).

I first heard it as a humorous "folk theorem" at the Univ. of Calif Berkeley Math Dept. in about 1970. peter (talk) 01:20, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Dull numbers
Is the last paragraph about dull numbers WP:OR? I haven't heard about them before, and the reasoning about uninteresting properties is rather contrived. You might certainly argue that unknown properties are uninteresting rather than interesting - besides the previous paragraph attempted to formalize the "interesting"-predicate as a finite list of properties, which contradicts the assertion that there should be an infinite number of interesting properties.

Unless someone objects, I will remove the paragraph in a few days. Rasmus (talk) 12:42, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

 * No comments, so I removed the paragraph. Anyone interested can read it here. Rasmus (talk) 13:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

 * That depends. If you have a source for it, yes.  If not, the best thing to do would be to mention it here on the Talk page so someone can find a source.  CRGreathouse (t | c) 05:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I just stumbled onto this page, and as far as I can see, there's nothing the matter with its tone. I therefore removed the template. --Slashme (talk) 06:46, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Refutation of a proposed resolution in the article
The article says:

 * One proposed resolution of the paradox asserts that only the first uninteresting number is made interesting by that fact. For example, if 39 and 41 were the first two uninteresting numbers, then 39 would become interesting as a result, but 41 would not since it is not the first uninteresting number. However, this resolution is invalid, since the paradox is proved by contradiction: assuming that there is any uninteresting number, we arrive to the fact that that same number is interesting, hence no number can be uninteresting

Is this refutation original research? It just reiterates the original argument, so in that sense it isn't, but what I mean to ask is whether this is commonly considered to be "the" refutation of the proposed resolution. It is awfully uncharitable to assume that whoever proposed the resolution did not understand the paradox at all!

A more charitable way to interpret the resolution is that it rejects the premise that the least uninteresting number is interesting. Let us call the broadest sense of interesting "ordinarily-interesting". There is another sense, the obviously-interesting, which is something like "is a prime number or ...", which is the starting point. Then there is the meta-interesting, which is "any number that is obviously-interesting or is the least number that is not obviously-interesting". Then you analogously have meta-meta-interesting, and more generally metan-interesting. The resolution, as I see it, says that any meta-interesting number is ordinarily-interesting, but that the same may not hold for metan-interesting numbers with n > 1. Further, for none of these x-interestings does it automatically hold that a number is x-interesting if it is the least number that is not x-interesting, so the original argument fails in this more fine-grained model of interestingness. The resolution simply says that this is a more realistic model. -- Coffee2theorems (talk) 17:04, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

 * It relies on logical induction anyway, even not the more general mathematical induction. For to prove that if p and f(p), f being "the next uninteresting number", one must define f, which this does not do; indeed cannot without resorting to a higher-order logic where we can define "uninteresting", which is of course the entire point. Give that p is uninteresting, f(p) must also be uninteresting, or rather, some function of uninteresting (such as negation), but it doesn't define that function or attempt to: it might be "f(p) = slightly less interesting(p)" or f(p) = "a cow on a bicycle". Si Trew (talk) 23:26, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Replace "interesting" with having a unique property
Start with a group of numbers that have a unique property; being the lowest number that isn't in that group is a unique property. No need for an "emotional opinion" about numbers. --TiagoTiago (talk) 04:51, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Nice try, but not having a unique property is a unique property in itself, and thus the paradox remains. Only if you define "having a unique property" as explicitly excluding "having no other unique property than not having a unique property", you can resolve the paradox. Stated more simply, the lowest number which is only "interesting" (or, more precisely, "not completely uninteresting") by virtue of being the lowest otherwise "uninteresting" number is what we are after.
 * The paradox arises through defining the property "lowest uninteresting number" as inherently a matter of interest. Personally, I'd say the LUN is not altogether uninteresting, but in a different way than other numbers. It's like being famous for not being famous because you're the oldest, tallest, richest, smartest or strongest known non-famous person, for example: that is a different kind of fame. Being older, taller, richer, smarter or stronger than any famous person is more of a curiosity than what we usually think of fame. Media don't report on people with such properties, according to my experience. It's not considered inherently newsworthy, even if this person could be determined with precision. Just being very old, tall, rich, smart or strong doesn't inherently make you a celebrity; certainly not a universally acknowledged one. Only being the most extreme known example overall (Xest person living, or Xest person of all times, or Xest person of a country) could do that (and still I'd think most people would dispute that these people are actually celebrities the exact same way other celebrities are celebrities; they're just random people who usually haven't done anything particularly interesting). For this reason, I don't think the LUN is really inherently interesting just like the lower numbers; it's really kind of dull. That's also because not being inherently interesting makes this number appear random and its interest completely a matter of accident, just as accidental as in the non-celebrity "celebrities" above. You can be famous for being famous, but not for being nothing else but non-famous.
 * More importantly, this would not realistically make people interested in what the next higher otherwise uninteresting number is. If 1003 is the LUN, who cares if 1004 is also uninteresting? --Florian Blaschke (talk) 17:13, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Smallest uninteresting number

12407
As mentioned here, 12407 does appear in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, at least implicitly, as it is a semiprime, i.e. 12407 is the product of two prime numbers. See oeis:A001358. This refutes the claim made on the main page. --Craw-daddy | T | 11:49, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Obvious flaw
I'm sorry, but if the smallest uninteresting number is interesting, then it's no longer the smallest uninteresting number, and since there was nothing else interesting about it, that means it's not interesting. Which makes it the smallest uninteresting number again, which makes it interesting again. Which makes it not interesting, which makes it interesting, which makes it not...

There are objectively interesting aspects of countable sets.
There are useful and therefore interesting numbers in any countable set. Take statistical measures for example, the median, mean, max, and don't forget min, are the most studied and useful numbers. Saying that these numbers are not interesting is like saying that sex isn't interesting. If you don't find sex interesting you are either mentally handicapped (and therefore inhumane) or otherwise lying (which is the likely case). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.59.235 (talk) 04:25, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

If we define 'interesting' as any number X being representable by a computer program that can be encoded in less information than X (see Turing numbers), then the first interesting number becomes the first number which cannot be encoded in such a way. A small modification to the programming language (the addition of the function UNINT(x) may then allow this idea to be encoded in less information than X.

Unlike the article's uninteresting property, this has built in limits - presumably it cannot be extended indefinitely without making the program encoding expand (due to the addition of new symbols or functions) so that that the new encoding for f(X) exceeds the size of X. This obviously parallels Shannon's statements about the limits of lossless compression.

Have added the book to the 'further reading' section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.137.62 (talk) 18:59, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Flawed
What proof is there that a "smallest uninteresting number" exists? If you pedantically insist on only looking at natural numbers, then sure; but uninteresting fractions and negative numbers would surely exist, too. 131.191.13.63 (talk) 02:31, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
 * There isn't a proof that such a number exists, that it does is taken as a point of contradiction in the proof - you assume it exists, find it leads you to a contradiction and thus prove it does not in fact exist. You could apply the same logic to the positive real numbers as they are well-ordered (exactly one of a>b, a=b, a<b holds) and have a minimum. As for negative numbers, it doesn't particularly matter what number you first define as the lowest uninteresting number, the proof works the same. Suppose you choose smallest meaning the least |a|, then you run into difficulty. For real numbers it's fine - suppose that, without loss of generality, -1 and 1 are in our set of uninteresting numbers. They both have absolute value 1, so neither can be described as smallest. However, suppose we go with -1 first, and show that it is after all interesting, then -1 is left as being the smallest uninteresting number, and voila it's interesting. However, if you go with complex numbers, then you'd need uncountably many steps to show that all numbers on the unit circle were interesting. But, you could instead just return to the positive real case, which is analogous to the complex case restricted to numbers $$re^{i\theta}$$ for some fixed $$\theta$$. Each smallest number on such a ray can be proved to not be the smallest uninteresting number on that ray, and that is something interesting about it in the whole plane. -mattbuck (Talk) 09:53, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
 * This section is somewhat off-topic, as the article specifically states that it refers to natural numbers. However, I'm not at all clear what Mattbuck means by "For real numbers it's fine", since there is no guarantee that a subset of the real numbers must have a least element. You can't just pick two real numbers (such as 1 & -1) and say that doing so is done "without loss of generality", because you are assuming that there are two numbers in the set with minimal absolute value, which is a substantial loss of generality. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:07, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Another attempt to resolve the paradox.
All of these above "proofs" assume that interesting and uninteresting are mutually exclusive. If we don't assume that, all sorts of numbers become both. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.184.249.196 (talk) 02:12, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Underlying premise
The whole paradox seems to rest on the idea that being the smallest uninteresting number is an interesting quality. What if one finds the idea of the smallest uninteresting number simply tedious? 203.217.150.76 (talk) 04:26, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Simple - one then becomes a Wikipedia editor. 67.187.119.225 (talk) 04:26, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Second-Smallest Uninteresting Number
"One proposed resolution of the paradox asserts that only the first uninteresting number is made interesting by that fact. For example, if 39 and 46 were the first two uninteresting numbers, then 39 would become interesting as a result, but 46 would not since it is not the first uninteresting number." There seems to be an obvious flaw here. If 39 becomes interesting, it is no longer an uninteresting number, so it can't be the lowest uninteresting number; 46 would be the new smallest uninteresting number. 208.54.70.130 (talk) 02:07, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Bellos' definition
Just a quick note that, using Alex Bellos' (probably humorous) definition of "the lowest number not to have its own page on Wikipedia", the lowest uninteresting number is 1002. And it's not just uninteresting by chance; it's uninteresting by consensus. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 01:18, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I was wrong, 247 is still a redirect. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 01:23, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

17843 is a Semi-uninteresting Number
I noticed that this Wikipedia page is out of date because 14972 appears as the seventh entry in a sequence so is no longer uninteresting. Searching forward from 14972, I found no uninteresting numbers until 17843. Look up http://oeis.org/search?q=17843. 17843 does appear in the OEIS, but does not appear in a integer sequence in the OEIS. It appears only as the 35th coefficient of an empirical approximation to the sequence. Does that make it interesting? Or uninteresting? Or both? Mollwollfumble (talk) 19:05, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

What makes a number interesting?
I don't see an actual method for determining this given anywhere in the article; and the definitions that are offered have no reasoning supporting them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.219.84.14 (talk) 21:59, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Nominated for deletion
This page has been nominated for deletion at Articles for deletion/Interesting number paradox (2nd nomination), possibly to make it the most interesting paradox without a Wikipedia article. Certes (talk) 21:25, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Possible Citation sources to make article better?
Some sources cited in defence on the AfD page, just putting them here so they don't get lost, no idea as to the quality

Chaitin also calls attention to its relation to an earlier paradox of Russell on the existence of a smallest undefinable ordinal (despite the fact that all sets of ordinals have a smallest element and that "the smallest undefinable ordinal" would appear to be a definition):

All on JSTOR... obviously a paywall does not stop them being valid, just anyone on the outside from using them to improve the article.

39 is really interesting!
39 is interesting since it is the smallest number > 2 such that the Mertens function return 0 (see, I really don’t know why David Wells thought that it is uninteresting, also see , all natural numbers up to 80 are really interesting, the next number 81 is 3^4 thus no reason to be uninteresting, but for 82 (why 82 is interesting? Companion Pell number? Number of 6-hexes? Squarefree semiprime? Ulam number? (Only mathematics-related properties are allowed, and only base-independent properties are allowed, thus you cannot say that 82 is interesting because it is the largest atomic number of a stable isotope, and you cannot say that 82 is interesting because its multiplicative inverse has only period length 5 in decimal)) 61.224.145.154 (talk) 06:31, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

untitled

 * Is it possible for anyone to get a picture of Jack Lynch and add it to the page?
 * Is it possible to have the Sporting career and political life tables the same size?

NPOV
This is far from the best article on a Taoiseach that I've read on this site. As usual, sources aren't listed, and there are many subjective evaluations of Lynch's popularity and integrity, which, while I'm not necessarily quarrelling with them, are neither here nor there as long as they remain unreferenced. It's okay to say that the guy was very popular, but there has to be some evidence for the fact that isn't just anecdotal - such as the judgment of noted scholars or historians, or a quote from an obituary in a newspaper of record. Lexo, 17:00, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

jack lynch what ever his personal and sporting qualities lacked the balls to deal with the crisis that occured in northern ireland in august 1969 a goverment that cant defend its people doesnt deserve the name Bouse23 17:50, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. This kind of thing is really not appropriate as well: "It was for this that the man known as "the Real Taoiseach" or "the Reluctant Taoiseach", with his ever-present pipe and the soft Cork lilt in his voice will be remembered."

Neutrality
''Both ministers were sacked after some initial procrastination on Lynch's part, his innocent but incompetent Minister for Justice, Micheál Ó Móráin, retired the day before and a fourth minister, Kevin Boland and his Parliamentary Secretary, resigned in sympathy with Haughey and Blaney. '' This hardly seems neutral? I'd like to remove it. Davebushe (talk) 23:57, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

There is no position in Irish politics called 'Leader of the Opposition'. I propose that it be deleted from the infobox. Cripipper (talk) 11:08, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Máirín O'Connor's family background
This article says Jack Lynch's wife, Máirín O'Connor, was the daughter of a Dublin judge, but the wiki article about her says she was the daughter of a naval officer lost at sea. What is the truth? Does anyone have any references? Iain (talk) 00:53, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

 * There is an interesting article here: https://www.dib.ie/biography/lynch-mairin-a9362
 * It looks like neither is true.
 * What I can state however, that my family were members of the aunt of Lynch who took him in when his mother died.
 * He lived for a period in Cappagh near Kilrush, Co. Clare. He never spoke or contacted the siblings (my Granny) for as long as I knew her. I'd be interested in reading if anyone knows anything about this history. 81.185.165.215 (talk) 13:04, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1916/01329/1548835.pdf is her birth registration. I can find no records for a marriage of Arthur O'Connor and Margaret Doyle in Ireland or the UK and no death record for Arthur O'Connor if he were lost in WW1. It seems a somewhat dubious story, perhaps. AJCottrell (talk) 20:02, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Put repeated wiki links for same person in different sections of Officeholder infobox?
In this article, Lynch was succeeded in many official roles by the same person --- Charles Haughey. It seems strange to me that only the first instance of these has a link to Haughey's Wiki article. Is there a reason why we shouldn't have Charles Haughey in each instance of the Officeholder infobox?

Severe lack of citations
The article has been amazingly lacking citations since its creation; very substantial chunks of the narrative have been completely unreferenced for over 20 years. It's hard to believe that such a key historical figure has been mostly documented by so much unsubstantiated original research. Spideog (talk) 20:25, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree, but will suffice.  Scolaire (talk) 14:36, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I took the trouble to use different tags to identify different levels of the problem in different article sections (specificity). It's also easy to breeze on past a single tag at the top and forget about it, or even not to notice it at all.
 * In practice, I was reading backwards from the bottom of the article and tagging sections with their different individual requirements as I rose to the top. It was time consuming but the effort was intended as a helpful "map" of variations of deficiency throughout. Serious problem (priority) here, a bit less so there.

Geronimo (martyr)

The alleged finding of human remains, designated San Geronimo, in 1853 afforded striking confirmation of an incident recorded by a Spanish Benedictine named Diego de Haedo, who published a topography and history of Algiers in 1612. Haedo sets forth the legend that a young Arab who had embraced Christianity, and had been baptized with the name of Geronimo ("Jerome"), had been captured by a Moorish corsair in 1569 and taken to Algiers. The Arabs endeavoured to induce Geronimo to renounce Christianity, but as he steadfastly refused to do so, he was condemned to death. Bound hand and foot, he was thrown alive into a mould in which a block of concrete was about to be made. The block containing his body was built into an angle of the Fort of the Twenty-four Hours, then under construction. According to Samuel M. Zwemer (see link below), in 1853 the Fort of the Twenty-four Hours was demolished, and, in the very angle specified by Haedo, the skeleton of Geronimo was found. The bones were interred at St. Philippe, now the Ketchaoua Mosque. Liquid plaster of Paris was run into the mould left by the saint's body, creating a perfect model showing the features of the youth, the cords which bound him, and even the texture of his clothing. This model was said to be held in the museum formerly at Parc du Galland, Mustapha Superior, Algiers.

WREK

WREK (91.1 FM "Wreck", from the Ramblin' Wreck) is the radio station staffed by the students of the Georgia Institute of Technology. It is also located on channel 17 on the Georgia Tech cable TV network, GTCN. Starting as a 10-watt class D, WREK currently broadcasts a 100,000-watt ERP signal throughout metropolitan Atlanta, making it among the ten highest-powered college radio stations in the United States.

In 2007, WREK applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to increase its effective radiated power to the maximum power of 100,000 watts (from its former 40,000 watts) with a directional antenna pattern designed to avoid interference with specific distant stations (as required). This coverage increase was designed to greatly improve the radio station's coverage to encompass more of the Atlanta metropolitan area. That application was subsequently approved, and the station built out the improved coverage by replacing its antenna system in the fall of 2011.

In March 2008, WREK replaced its then 20-year-old transmitter with a brand new unit capable of three times the signal power and providing HD Radio capability. The addition of an HD Radio broadcast has made WREK among the first student-run, student-funded stations in the nation to add digital broadcasting capability.

Programming
Programming is student-run and extremely diverse, including everything from heavy metal to world, hip-hop to blues, classical and jazz to industrial, noise, hyperpop and similarly diverse community programming (Church of the Subgenius). WREK slogans include "music you don't hear on the radio" and "quality diverse radio."

Sound blocks
Regular rotation programming blocks take up most daytime broadcasts. Certain times focus on certain themes: mornings play Just Jazz and Classics while afternoons transmit RRR (Rock, Rhythm and Roll) and nights air Atmospherics and the notorious Overnight Alternatives. These time slots are staffed by various WREK student staff and feature a wide selection of music, contests, and PSAs. The WREK website maintains a two-week archive of all regular rotation shifts, available as 128 kbit/s and 24 kbit/s downloads.

Specialty shows
Specialty Shows feature shifts dedicated to a specific genre. They air for over 50 hours a week, mainly in the evenings. They range from the Ramblin' Wreck Sports Show, a Georgia Tech sports talk show hosted by students to Destroy All Music, clatter-improv with pink noise freakouts. Other weekly shows include Electronic Sound System, an experimental electronic show featuring music and in-studio performances of new and established artists that run the electronic gamut; Velvet, featuring classic and contemporary R&B and soul; Live@WREK, a live music show broadcasting local and touring artists and bands; Girl Rock!, highlighting the work of women and non-binary artists worldwide; and Slow Riot, technical, abstract math rock and atmospheric, swirling post-rock.

Sports
WREK also broadcasts play-by-play coverage of Georgia Tech intercollegiate athletics, including baseball, women's basketball, and volleyball. In fall 2004, the station agreed to partner with ISP Sports to simulcast network coverage of selected Georgia Tech football and men's basketball games to augment WQXI's diminished AM nighttime coverage in metro Atlanta. That partnership ended following the 2007–08 season.

In December 2002, WREK broadcast the entire 50-disc Merzbox by the Japanese experimental music artist Merzbow. An article in Creative Loafing described the Merzbow Marathon as "what may be the most obscure and counterintuitive move in the history of radio."

Continuing their tradition of unorthodox radio broadcasts, WREK chose to air the long-running heavy metal show WREKage for the entire 24-hour broadcast day on June 6, 2006 (6/6/6). Heavy metal was played in chronological order from midnight to midnight. As an extra nod to the mystic number 666 (number), Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast was aired at 6:06 a.m. and p.m.

In Fall 2007, the critics of Creative Loafing declared WREK to be the Best Overall Radio Station in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The article describing their reasoning declared WREK to be "strange in a good way. The station's format is noncommercial and nonconforming. Few stations in the city can compete with WREK's eclectic playlist".

Technical details
WREK's transmitter is a Harris HT/HD+ which outputs a 16.3 kW TPO signal into a high-gain 8-bay ERI (Electronics Research Inc) antenna, resulting in an effective radiated power of 100,000 Watts in the strongest direction. The antenna is located on a 300-foot (90-meter) self-supporting tower adjacent to the Undergraduate Living Center and Woodruff Hall on Georgia Tech's west campus, connected to the studio in the Student Center via a wireless, 950.0 MHz studio-transmitter link, WQAQ311, and a digital, fiber-optic link.

History
Georgia Tech was the home of an early AM radio station, WBBF (later WGST, now WGKA AM 920), which began operation in January 1924. Much of this station's initial equipment had been previously used by the Atlanta Constitution's WGM, and was donated through the efforts of the newspaper's editor, Clark Howell. In April 1930, the school made an agreement with the Southern Broadcasting Stations, Inc. to operate WGST as a commercial station, while still under the oversight of Georgia Tech. In 1973, the Georgia Board of Regents decided WGST was "surplus property", and the next year it was sold for five million dollars to the Meredith Corporation, despite opposition from alumni groups, members of the Georgia General Assembly and even the Governor of Georgia. Proceeds from this sale were used to upgrade WREK.

WREK first signed on the air on March 25, 1968, broadcasting at 10 Watts from a 20-foot tower atop the Van Leer Electrical Engineering building on Georgia Tech's campus. Barry James Folsom, then-student, started radio station WREK and was one of first DJs. The studio was located in the top floor of that building and included donated equipment from WSM-FM Nashville. Chief Engineer and then-student Geoff Mendenhall designed and built a 425W power amplifier which, once type certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in August 1968, brought WREK to 3,400W ERP. In 2013 Mendenhall retired from Harris Broadcast Communications (now GatesAir) as VP of Transmission Research and Technology.

In 1978 WREK's tower and studio were relocated. A new, 300 ft tower was built on the western edge of the Georgia Tech campus, and the studio moved to the former WGST studios in the annex of the Alexander Memorial Coliseum (now known as Hank McCamish Pavilion), where it would remain until 2004. Visitors to WREK's Coliseum studios were often startled by its walls, which were covered by thick layers of posters, set lists, and other music memorabilia, as well as the giant electromechanical broadcast automation machines and other large racks of monitoring and control equipment. WREK's studios relocated to the Student Center Commons (formerly the Georgia Tech Bookstore building) in August 2004.

After the renovation of the Wenn Student Center, WREK relocated from their temporary residence in the Office of Information Technology building to their new studio in the newly-renovated Student Center.

WREK began streaming its compressed (8-bit μ-law) broadcast over the Internet on November 7, 1994, making it one of the first Internet radio stations. The station now streams in MP3 format and features a two-week-long running archive of its broadcast on the schedule page of its website.

WWPW

WWPW (105.3 FM, "Power 105.3") is an Atlanta radio station broadcasting a Top 40 (CHR) radio format. The station's transmitter is located in Newnan, Georgia and targets metro Atlanta, also covering its city of license of Bowdon, Georgia. It is owned by iHeartMedia and operates from studios located in Atlanta's Upper Westside district inside the Works ATL development.

Country (1994–2002)
The station began in May 1994 as country-music "Y 105.5" WYAI-FM, a class-A serving Carrollton to the west-southwest of metro Atlanta. Having co-channel RF interference with station WCHK-FM 105.5 in Canton, Georgia (north-northwest of Atlanta), both stations changed radio frequencies (the other station now being WBZY 105.7) and moved closer to Atlanta.

1980s hits (2002–2004)
In late February 2002, the station upgraded to a class C1 as an Atlanta move-in. To create hype, the station stunted with classical music and comedy bits. 105.3 officially debuted as WMAX-FM "105-3 The Max", playing all 1980s music, on February 18, 2002, with "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles being the first song played.

Hot talk (2004)
On January 30, 2004, at 6 p.m., after playing "It's The End of the World" by R.E.M., WMAX-FM became a hot talk station known as "Real Radio 105.3" that aired talk on weekdays; 1980s music would remain on weekends. The WMAX-FM callsign now resides on another iHeartMedia station in Holland, Michigan, which is currently branded as “96.1 The Game.”

Spanish music (2004–2005)
On September 15, 2004, at 10 a.m., following "The MJ Morning Show", the station began stunting with a heartbeat sound effect and Spanish-language liners promoting the upcoming launch of a new format. At 11 p.m. that evening, the station changed to Latin Top 40 as WWVA-FM "Viva 105.3", as part of efforts by owner iHeartMedia (then Clear Channel Communications) to expand into Hispanic radio markets. During the last quarter of 2004, it was the second-top-rated radio station in Atlanta.

Alternative rock (2005–2006)
On May 5, 2005, WWVA-FM would begin simulcasting on 105.7 FM, displacing oldies-formatted "Cool 105.7", as part of a frequency and format shuffle. After four days of simulcasting and a brief stunt of a loop directing listeners to the new frequency, WBZY's alternative rock format would move from 96.7 to 105.3 as "105.3 the Buzz" ("Viva" would then also begin simulcasting on 96.7 FM on May 17, also after a brief simulcasting period). For two weeks, the calls of 105.3 were changed to WLCL, so the local media would not be able to predict the move. After the switch, the calls were changed to WBZY.

Spanish music (2006–2020)
On November 17, 2006, at 9 a.m., WBZY dropped the alternative format and "Buzz" branding. Some of the on-air staff were fired and others moved down the dial to sister station WKLS FM 96.1, which relaunched from "96 Rock" to "Project 9-6-1". For several days, WBZY simulcast WKLS until it began a loop telling listeners to tune into the new station, as well as advertising the new format of the station. The 105.3 frequency debuted a new Regional Mexican format under the name El Patrón at 9 a.m. on November 28.

On October 19, 2009, sister station WWVA-FM (then known as Viva 105.7), who had been broadcasting a Spanish AC format, flipped to rhythmic AC as "Groove 105.7", thus leaving WBZY as Atlanta's only FM Spanish-language station. This move prompted Clear Channel to merge 105.7's Spanish adult contemporary format with 105.3's regional Mexican format. The "Viva" format has moved to El Patrón's HD-2 channel.

At 5 p.m. on November 8, 2018, WBZY flipped to Spanish CHR, branded as "Z105.3". In July of the following year, the branding changed slightly to "105.3 La Z", though it would revert to the "Z105.3" branding the next year.

Urban (2020–2024)
On April 20, 2020, sister station WRDA assumed the format of WBZY, with both frequencies simulcasting as a means of transition for the "Z" format. At midnight on May 4, 2020, in the middle of "Limbo" by Daddy Yankee, WBZY dropped the simulcast and assumed the mainstream urban format of WRDG as "105.3 The Beat" (the first song on "The Beat" was "High Fashion" by one-time Atlanta native Roddy Ricch), as the 105.3 frequency had a much larger signal coverage (at 61,000 watts), albeit covering the Atlanta Metropolitan area from the southwestern portion of the market (roughly 80% of Fulton and DeKalb counties, a majority encompasses the city of Atlanta based on its primary signal coverage). Like the WRDA simulcast, this was a temporary simulcast; on May 18, WRDG switched to a simulcast of WBZY as WBZW. The WBZY call letters would move to 105.7 FM on May 11; in turn, the WRDA calls moved to 105.3 FM. A week later, 105.3 would adopt the WRDG call letters from 96.7.

Top 40/CHR (2024–present)
On April 16, 2024, at noon, WRDG began promoting a "big announcement" to take place at noon that day. At that time, after playing "On Me" by Lil' Baby, WRDG's urban format and "Beat" branding moved to sister station WWPW as "96.1 The Beat". After an hour of simulcasting, WRDG assumed WWPW's Top 40/CHR format and "Power" branding as "Power 105.3." The first song after the move was "Lovin' On Me" by Jack Harlow. The two stations would swap call letters on April 23.

TBO (comics)

TBO was a long-running Spanish comic book magazine, published in Barcelona between 1917 and 1998.

TBO is pronounced in Spanish almost the same as "te veo", "I see you". It was so popular that tebeo is now a generic word for "comic book" in Spain.

TBO was far from modern influences in seventies when European comics started to influence Spanish comic magazines. It kept its own style with short stories and ingenuous humour.

In 2016, the Biblioteca de Catalunya, acquired 105 original drawings by different authors and subject, related to the publication. This fund includes, among others, drawings by Josep Coll, Antoni Batllori Jofre, Rino (Marí Benejam Ferrer), Ricard Opisso Sala, Antoni Ayné Esbert, Juan Martínez Buendía, Aristide Perré, Nit (Joan Macias), and the most important series like Los grandes inventos del TBO and La familia Ulises.

Published series

 * Altamiro de la Cueva
 * Top, a dog comics series drawn by José Cabrero Arnal (a precursor to his later French success Pif le chien)
 * The Smurfs, as Los tebeítos. When Bruguera acquired the publishing rights, they were named Los pitufos.
 * Los grandes inventos del TBO, presentados por el profesor Franz de Copenhague, intricate machines reminding of Rube Goldberg machines.
 * Eustaquio Morcillón
 * La familia Ulises

WSTR (FM)

WSTR (94.1 MHz, "Star 94") is an FM radio station licensed to Smyrna, Georgia, and serving the Atlanta metropolitan area. Owned by Audacy, Inc., it broadcasts a rhythmic adult contemporary format. Its studios are located at Colony Square in Midtown Atlanta, while the station transmitter resides in Atlanta's Reynoldstown neighborhood.

Early years
The station signed on as WDJK on January 1, 1964, founded by WSMA (1550 AM) owner Mitchell Melof; WDJK operated as a simulcast of WSMA.

Jupiter Broadcasting of Georgia, then the owner of WQXI (790 AM), purchased WDJK in January 1965, with Kent Burkhart serving as vice president and general manager. WDJK's call sign was changed to WKXI and a beautiful music format was installed, with studios at 2970 Peachtree Road NW in Atlanta. The Pacific and Southern Company, forerunners to the modern-day Gannett and Tegna Inc., purchased WQXI and WKXI in November 1967.

WQXI-FM (1969–1989)
In 1969, the station changed its call letters to WQXI-FM to match its AM sister station. In mid-1977, the station started calling itself "94Q" when WQXI's contemporary hit radio format was moved to the FM station.

Around 1987, WQXI-FM's audience share began to dwindle. Various tweaks were made to the music mix, followed by an outright change of direction in late 1988 that competed head-to-head with then-dominant Top 40 outlet WAPW (99.7 FM) as "Atlanta's Hit Music, 94Q". However, by the following spring, WQXI-FM had been soundly beaten, and the station began to purge most of its management and on-air talent.

WQXI-FM notably carried a smooth jazz-themed program called Jazz Flavors during the late 1980s. Despite the seeming incompatibility between it and contemporary hits, this program ran on WQXI-FM for several years, eventually serving as the genesis for the "Jazz Flavors" branding on WJZF (104.1 FM) when that station became the first one in the Atlanta market to adopt the format full-time.

WSTR (1989–present)
At midnight on November 15, 1989, "94Q" signed off after 12 years, with the final song being "Imagine" by John Lennon. 94.1 would then relaunch as "Star 94" with the call letters WSTR. The first song on "Star 94" was "Oh Atlanta" by Little Feat. The station's format was a hybrid of Hot AC and Top 40, best described as Adult Top 40. The station initially avoided most hip hop and rhythmic-oriented music hitting the Top 40 charts, though it added some rhythmic songs in the mid-1990s. Steve McCoy was brought in as morning show host and was paired with Vikki Locke; McCoy and Locke would helm the station's morning drive for the next 17 years.

After WAPW flipped to modern rock as WNNX in October 1992, WSTR was considered the "default" hit music station in Atlanta due to the lack of a mainstream Top 40 outlet; Atlanta once again had a mainstream Top 40 station in 2001 when WWWQ (100.5 FM) signed on (when WBTS debuted in 1999, that station briefly aired a Top 40 format, though it would quickly shift to rhythmic).

Hot AC era (2010–2020)
In September 2010, Nielsen BDS moved WSTR from the CHR/Top 40 panel to the Adult Top 40 (Hot AC) panel, as the station became more identified with a Hot AC playlist. WSTR changed its on-air slogan to "Your Life...Your Music", to emphasize its shift to hot AC. In February 2011, WSTR began programming all-1990s weekends, called "Big 90s Weekends" in response to the all-1980s weekends on WSB-FM (98.5). However, in the Fall of 2011, the station dropped the All-90s weekends.

Jefferson-Pilot Communications (and later Lincoln Financial Media) had owned WSTR and WQXI since 1974. On December 8, 2014, Entercom announced its purchase of Lincoln Financial Media's entire 15-station lineup, including WSTR and WQXI, for $106.5 million. The stations were operated under a local marketing agreement (LMA) until the sale was approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Entercom officially took over WSTR and WQXI on July 17, 2015; WQXI was spun off to Atlanta Radio Korea in 2016.

In November 2017, Entercom merged with CBS Radio, making WSTR co-owned with WZGC, WVEE-FM and WAOK.

In 2019, the station aired Christmas music during the holiday season for the first time.

Rhythmic AC era (2020–present)

On September 17, 2020, the station began teasing a "big announcement" to come at 3 p.m.; the use of the word "big" seemed to allude to previous reports the station was soon to flip to adult hits as "Big 94" (matching a similar recent format change on cross-country sister station WBGB in Boston). At that time, after playing "Closing Time" by Semisonic, WSTR instead relaunched with a rhythmic adult contemporary format, maintaining the Star branding while promoting the new focus as "The NEW Star 94" under the slogan "The Rhythm of ATL", with the first song being "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" by Michael Jackson.

Notable alumni
Several influential air personalities have worked at the station, including Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest interned on the night show with Tom Sullivan, who also helped train him; Sullivan gave Ryan his first "on air" shift, and eventually he began working weekends, Ryan did this while still attending Dunwoody High School.

HD Radio
The HD2 digital subchannel formerly aired a classic hits format under the brand "Star 94.1 HD2".

The HD3 channel formerly aired Audacy's LGBTQ+ talk/dance format "Channel Q". It has since moved to HD2 with the HD3 channel being turned off.

Lampshade spider

Lampshade spiders, family Hypochilidae, are among the most primitive of araneomorph spiders. There are two genera and twelve species currently recognized. Like mygalomorphs, most hypochilids have two pairs of book lungs, but like araneomorphs they have intersecting fangs, with the exception of some species which have chelicerae in an angle that is neither orthognathous or labidognathous. These long-legged spiders build typical "lampshade" style webs under overhangs and in caves. In the United States the fauna is primarily associated with the Appalachian, Rocky and California Mountains. Ten of the known species are found in these ranges, all in the genus Hypochilus. The genus Ectatosticta is found in China.

In one analysis, the Hypochilidae are a sister clade to the Neocribellatae, which contains all other spider species in the Araneomorphae (Coddington & Levi, 1991, p. 576). A more recent study groups them with the Haplogynae.

Total benefits of ownership

Total benefits of ownership (TBO) is a calculation that tries to summarise the positive effects of the acquisition of a plan. It is an estimate of all the values that will affect a business.

TBO is a financial estimate intended to help buyers and owners determine the direct and indirect benefits of a product or system. It is used to determine potential return on investment (ROI). The usage of TBO may lead to an increase in efficiency and productivity of a business, improvements in decision-making, or improvements in the workforce. It helps to identify important areas which a business should be focusing on, as well as uncovering the hidden aspects of the decisions made by the firm.

Use of concept
TBO goes beyond the initial purpose or implementation benefit to consider the full benefit of a decision or an asset over its useful life. A TBO analysis often shows there can be a large difference between the short-term benefit to the business and its long-term benefit. This can include

 * operational cost savings,
 * productivity improvements
 * enhancements to a business's ability to compete
 * greater employee retention
 * increased brand equity
 * expanding sales reach

For example, a small company can now have access to worldwide markets without the costs of travel. The decisions made from TBO analysis help to add monetary profit into the company's account.

Importance of TBO
While many companies perform a total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis, TBO is considered to be as important as TCO. TCO aims to minimize the total cost of the business, whereas TBO targets the maximum value of the project. Enterprise decision-makers often use both methods to estimate the actual value of an investment or strategic venture.

When considering a business proposition, the enterprise decision-makers always consider other alternatives while deciding whether the original plan is the best. An advantage of using TBO is that it identifies the value of the short term and the long-term benefits of the propositions. This system helps the company to prioritize the importance of each decision. This analysis not only serves as a tool to reduce cost but also as a way to plan the future of the business, in a more detailed and sophisticated way.

For example, a company is considering whether to invest in a long-term project, such as infrastructure. TBO will consider whether the long-term benefit may outweigh the short-term benefits of opportunity cost; whether the money spent on investment may have a better alternate purpose, e.g. using the budget to improve training schemes for workers.

Retailing industry with the use of Internet
The TBO concept is widely used within the web industry. For example, TBO identifies the benefits of using the Internet in a business. These include the exclusion of fixed cost (i.e. rent), as well as the decreasing cost of online advertisement.

Some of the key elements are incorporated in the benefit of ownership within retailing industry.
 * Cheaper transportation cost
 * Increase in global demand for products
 * Decrease in variable cost ( i.e. cheaper wages)
 * Benefits of outsourcing

=== Computer and software industries etc ===
 * Software becomes more user-friendly
 * Quicker data analysis
 * Greater data storage space

Julia Stiles

Julia O'Hara Stiles (born March 28, 1981) is an American actress. Born and raised in New York City, Stiles began acting at the age of 11 as part of New York's La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club. Her film debut was a small role in I Love You, I Love You Not (1996), followed by a lead role in Wicked (1998) for which she received the Karlovy Vary Film Festival Award for Best Actress. She rose to prominence with leading roles in teen films such as 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), Down to You (2000), and Save the Last Dance (2001). Her accolades include a Teen Choice Award and two MTV Movie Awards, as well as nominations for a Golden Globe Award, and Primetime Emmy Award.

Stiles added to her list of credits with films such as The Business of Strangers (2001), Mona Lisa Smile (2003), and The Omen (2006), and became known to audiences worldwide with her portrayal of Nicky Parsons in the Bourne franchise (2002–2016). Her other notable film credits include Hamlet, State and Main (both 2000), O (2001), A Guy Thing (2002), Carolina (2003), The Prince & Me (2004), Edmond, A Little Trip to Heaven (both 2005), The Cry of the Owl (2009), Silver Linings Playbook (2012), Out of the Dark (2014), Blackway (2015), 11:55 (2016), Hustlers (2019) and Orphan: First Kill (2022).

Outside of film, Stiles played Lumen Pierce on the fifth season of Dexter (2010), earning nominations for the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress and the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress. From 2012 to 2014 she appeared as the titular character in the web series Blue, for which she earned two IAWTV Awards for Best Actress. From 2017 to 2020 she starred as Georgina Ryland on the Sky Atlantic series Riviera. She starred in the Amazon series The Lake (2022–2023).

Early life and education
Stiles was born in New York City to Judith Newcomb Stiles, a Greenwich Village artist, and John O'Hara, a businessman. She is the oldest of three children; her siblings are John Junior and Jane (also an actress). Stiles is of English, Irish, and Italian descent. She started acting at age 11, performing with New York's La MaMa Theatre Company.

Film career
Stiles's first appearance in a video series was in 1993 in Ghostwriter as Erica Dansby.

Stiles's first film role was in I Love You, I Love You Not (1996), with Claire Danes and Jude Law. She also had small roles as Harrison Ford's character's daughter in Alan J. Pakula's The Devil's Own (1997) and in M. Night Shyamalan's Wide Awake (1998). Her first lead was in Wicked (1998), playing a teenage girl who might have murdered her mother so she could have her father all to herself. Critic Joe Baltake wrote she was "the darling of the 1998 Sundance Film Festival." She next starred in the TV miniseries The '60s in 1999.

Later that year, she portrayed Kat Stratford, opposite Heath Ledger in Gil Junger's 10 Things I Hate About You, an adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew set in a high school in Seattle, Washington. She won an MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Female Performance for the role. The Chicago Film Critics voted her the most promising new actress of the year. Her next starring role was in Down to You (2000), which was panned by critics, but earned both her and her co-star Freddie Prinze, Jr. a Teen Choice Award nomination for their on-screen chemistry. She subsequently appeared in two more Shakespearean adaptations. The first was as Ophelia in Michael Almereyda's Hamlet (2000), with Ethan Hawke in the lead. The second was in the Desdemona role, opposite Mekhi Phifer, in Tim Blake Nelson's O (2001), a version of Othello set at a boarding school. Neither film was a great success; O was subject to many delays and a change of distributors, and Hamlet was an art house film shot on a minimal budget.

Stiles next commercial success was in Save the Last Dance (2001) as an aspiring ballerina forced to leave her small town in downstate Illinois to live with her struggling musician father in Chicago after her mother dies in a car accident. At her new, nearly all-black school, she falls in love with the character played by Sean Patrick Thomas who teaches her hip-hop dance steps that help get her into the Juilliard School. The role won her two more MTV awards for Best Kiss and Best Female Performance and a Teen Choice Award for best fight scene for her battle with Bianca Lawson. Rolling Stone named her "the coolest co-ed" and put her on the cover of its April 12, 2001, issue. She told Rolling Stone that she performed all her own dancing in the film, except for some closeups of the feet.

In David Mamet's State and Main (2000), about a film shooting on location in a small town in Vermont, she played a teenage girl who seduces a film actor (Alec Baldwin) with a weakness for teen girls. Stiles also appeared opposite Stockard Channing in the dark art house film The Business of Strangers (2001) as a conniving, amoral secretary who exacts revenge on her boss. Channing was impressed by her co-star: "In addition to her talent, she has a quality that is almost feral, something that can make people uneasy. She has an effect on people." Stiles also had a small role as Treadstone operative Nicolette "Nicky" Parsons in The Bourne Identity (2002), a role that was enlarged in The Bourne Supremacy (2004), then greatly expanded in The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).

Between the Bourne films, she appeared in Mona Lisa Smile (2003) as Joan, a student at Wellesley College in 1953, whose art professor (Julia Roberts) encourages her to pursue a career in law rather than become a wife and mother. Critic Stephen Holden called her one of cinema's "brightest young stars", but the film met with generally unfavorable reviews. Stiles played a Wisconsin college student who is swept off her feet by a Danish prince, played by Luke Mably, in The Prince and Me (2004), directed by Martha Coolidge. Stiles told an interviewer that she was very similar to her character Paige Morgan. Critic Scott Foundas said she was "irrepressibly engaging" and the film was a "strange career choice for Stiles". This echoed criticism in reviews of A Guy Thing (2003), a romantic comedy with Jason Lee and Selma Blair. Critic Dennis Harvey wrote that Stiles was "wasted" and Holden called her "a serious actress from whom comedy does not seem to flow naturally". In 2005, Stiles was cast opposite her Hamlet co-star Liev Schreiber in The Omen, a remake of the 1976 horror film. The film was released on June 6, 2006. She returned to the Bourne series with a much larger role in The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), her highest-grossing film to date.

Stiles began filming Between Us in May 2011 with co-stars Taye Diggs, David Harbour, and Melissa George. Between Us is the screen adaptation of the off-Broadway play of the same name by Joe Hortua. In 2012, Stiles starred alongside David Cross and America Ferrera in the dark comedy It's a Disaster. The film premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival and was picked up by Oscilloscope Laboratories and received a commercial release in April 2013. Stiles had a small but pivotal role as a reporter in the 2013 British-American film Closed Circuit. In April 2013, it was announced that Stiles would be starring in the indie supernatural thriller Out of the Dark alongside Scott Speedman and Stephen Rea. Filming began in Bogotá, Colombia.

In 2015, Stiles signed on to reprise her role as Nicky Parsons in Jason Bourne, the fifth installment of the Bourne franchise. She also featured as Courtney, the wayward mother of Sophie Nélisse, in The Great Gilly Hopkins, which premiered in U.S. cinemas on October 7, 2016.

In 2019, Stiles appeared in the movie Hustlers as the journalist, Elizabeth. The film opened on September 13, 2019, and became a box office success.

Stage career
Stiles's first theatrical roles were in works by author/composer John Moran with the group Ridge Theater in Manhattan's Lower East Side from 1993 to 1998. From July to August 2002, she performed on stage in Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues, and appeared as Viola, the lead role in Shakespeare in the Park's production of Twelfth Night with Jimmy Smits.

In 2004, she made her London stage debut opposite Aaron Eckhart in a revival of David Mamet's play Oleanna at the Garrick Theatre. She reprised the role of Carol in a 2009 production of Oleanna, directed by Doug Hughes and co-starring Bill Pullman at the Mark Taper Forum. The production moved to Broadway's John Golden Theatre for October 11 opening night.

Stiles was to play Jeannie in a production of Neil LaBute's Fat Pig directed by the playwright beginning in April 2011, but the show was postponed indefinitely.

Other work
Stiles appeared in the video for Cyndi Lauper's single "Sally's Pigeons" in 1993. On March 17, 2001, she hosted Saturday Night Live and eight days later she was a presenter at the 73rd Academy Awards. She returned to Saturday Night Live on May 5 appearing as then-President George W. Bush's daughter Jenna Bush in a skit that poked fun at the two first daughters for being arrested for underage drinking. MTV profiled her in its Diary series in 2003, and she was Punk'd by Ashton Kutcher at a Washington, D.C., museum in 2004.

Stiles made her writing and directorial debut with Elle magazine's short Raving starring Zooey Deschanel. It premiered at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival.

In May 2010, Stiles was cast in a major role in the Showtime series Dexter  and signed for 10 episodes. For this role, she received a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film, as well as a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series.

In June 2012, the web series Blue premiered. It stars Stiles as a single mother with a 13-year-old son. She works at an office and also as a call girl to make ends meet on an otherwise meager income fighting to protect her son from the collision between her complicated past and tenuous present. For her work on Blue, Stiles won two IAWTV Awards, in 2013 and 2014. The actress during the recordings shared set with artists like Michelle Forbes, JC Gonzalez, and Uriah Shelton.

In 2021, it was announced that Stiles was cast as Maisy-May in the Canadian Amazon Prime series The Lake. Maisy-May is the "picture-perfect" stepdaughter/stepsister who was given the family cottage by her stepfather, to the dismay of her stepbrother Justin. The series was shot in North Bay, Ontario in August and September 2021. Season 1 was released on June 17, 2022.

Personal life
Stiles graduated from Columbia University with a degree in English literature in 2005. In college, she dated actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the two lived in John Jay Hall. She and actor David Harbour were in a relationship between 2011 and 2015. In 2010, she received a John Jay Award, an honorary award given annually to five alumni by the Columbia College Alumni Association for professional achievements.

Stiles has also worked for Habitat for Humanity, building housing in Costa Rica, and has worked with Amnesty International to raise awareness of the harsh conditions of immigration detention of unaccompanied juveniles. In January 2004, Marie Claire featured Stiles's trip to see conditions at the Berks County Youth Center in Leesport, Pennsylvania.

Stiles is a former vegan, occasionally eating red meat. She says she gave up veganism after she developed anemia and found it difficult to get proper nutrition while traveling.

She has described herself as a feminist and wrote about the subject in The Guardian.

She is a fan of baseball and the New York Mets. She threw the ceremonial first pitch before their May 29, 2006 game.

In September 2017 Stiles married camera assistant Preston J. Cook with whom she worked on Blackway. They have two sons, and a third child born in late 2023.

WVEE

WVEE (103.3 FM) – branded as V-103 – is a commercial radio station in Atlanta, Georgia. It is owned by Audacy, Inc. and airs an urban contemporary radio format. WVEE is one of the highest-rated stations in the Atlanta radio market according to Nielsen Audio, reaching number one on many reports. Its studios and offices are located in Colony Square on Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta, along with its sister stations WAOK, WSTR and WZGC.

WVEE has an effective radiated power of 100,000 watts. It shares a tower off New Street NE, with WABE-TV, as well as with WSB-FM, which is owned by Cox Radio. The two radio stations' transmitters are diplexed together, so that they feed to the antenna instead of into each other.

1940s
The station that became WVEE first signed on the air on July 1, 1948. Its original call sign was WAGA-FM, simulcasting a country music radio format with WAGA (590 AM, now WDWD). They were owned by Storer Broadcasting, a company that owned several top stations in large American cities.

The following year, television station WAGA-TV was added as a CBS-TV network affiliate and is now a Fox Television owned and operated station.

1950s and 1960s
In 1959, WAGA-AM-FM were acquired by Plough Broadcasting, a subsidiary of a pharmaceutical company that decided to invest in radio stations. Their call letters were switched to WPLO and WPLO-FM, and the two stations continued to simulcast WPLO's successful country programming.

In the late 1960s, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) began requiring AM stations in larger cities to end full-time simulcasts, promoting new programming on FM stations. WPLO had Georgia State University students program and host a free form "underground" format, giving the students academic credit instead of pay. The arrangement allowed Plough to have an inexpensive FM presence in the years before FM came to dominate the radio spectrum. It created enough interest among the student body that the Georgia Board of Regents obtained a construction permit and license for its own station at the university, WRAS-FM.

Plough management believed the music programmed by the Georgia State students could become a profitable commercial format if presented professionally. By 1969, WPLO-FM was billing itself as "Atlanta's Alternative High," and described its 103.3 frequency as "103-and-a-third." Program directors in this progressive rock era included Ed Shane, Steve Hosford, and Chris Morgan.

1970s
In 1974, as more listeners were switching from AM to FM for music listening, Plough-Shearing changed WPLO-FM's format. Keeping the same call letters, WPLO-FM flipped to country music to build on the AM station's popularity. The AM station continued to have more personality, with frequent news and weather updates, while the FM station went in a more-music, limited DJ chatter direction.

In October 1976, Schering-Plough recognized Atlanta's growing middle-class African-American market by changing WPLO-FM to urban contemporary under the "V-103" moniker and new call sign WVEE. It briefly aired a disco music format in the late 1970s.

When disco fever cooled, WVEE-FM returned to urban contemporary, and became one of the Atlanta radio market's top stations under the leadership of program director Scotty Andrews. As the first urban station on the FM dial in Metro Atlanta, the "V-103" brand eventually saw other stations around the U.S. follow its formula, including Baltimore sister station WXYV, also known as "V-103", and a Chicago "V-103" (WVAZ, now owned by iHeartMedia).

1980s-1990s
In the early 1980s, DKM Broadcasting Corporation purchased WVEE-FM and WAOK. On January 1, 1988, WVEE-FM was sold, along with other DKM-owned properties in Baltimore, Denver, Springfield, Lincoln, Akron, Dayton, and Dallas, for $200 million to The Summit Communications Group, Inc. In March 1995, Summit sold its interests in WVEE FM and WAOK AM to Granum Communications, Inc., owned by Herbert W. McCord, Peter Ferrara, and Michael Weinstein.

In March 1996, Granum Communications sold both stations to Infinity Broadcasting, which was later folded into CBS Radio. Infinity already owned WZGC, which it owned since 1992, that made the three stations a trio-poly.

2000s
In 2000, V-103, after many years of operating as an urban contemporary station that only played R&B and classic soul throughout the day and only played hip hop music during early evening hours, added hip-hop music full-time to compete with WHTA ("Hot 97.5," now "Hot 107.9") and WALR-FM (Kiss 104.7, now Kiss 104.1), and to appeal more to the 18-34 demographic alongside the original 25-54 demo. With the gain of more competition, WVEE was one of three adult urban stations between 1998 and 2000 when WAMJ (Majic 107.5) took to the air, although WVEE never called itself an urban AC station.

In 2003, "V-103" changed its longtime station slogan from "The People's Station" to "Atlanta's BIG Station" to signify its dominance of Atlanta urban radio. WVEE-FM was often #1 or #2 in the Arbitron ratings, along with WSB. In 2008, WVEE-FM reverted to the previous slogan "The People's Station" to signify its commitment to the African-American community.

Since autumn 2006, WVEE had aired an HD Radio digital subchannel for playing urban adult contemporary (specifically neo-soul) music, with no branding other than "V-103 HD-2". On February 28, 2020, WVEE-HD2 changed their format to international hits, branded as "V-103 International". The HD3 channel is a simulcast of sister station WAOK.

On February 2, 2017, CBS Radio announced it would merge with Entercom. The merger was approved on November 9, 2017, and was consummated on the 17th.

Programming
V-103 has a playlist consisting of a balance of current R&B, soul, and hip-hop songs along with throwbacks and recurrents during most parts of the day. During late night hours from Sunday through Thursday, the station airs slow jams from current and old school R&B and soul songs during its "Quiet Storm" program. WVEE airs a Sunday morning gospel program the entire morning hours, and during the early morning hours on weekdays. On Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons, the station airs a show dedicated exclusively to classic and contemporary soul music (particularly neo-soul).

WVEE-FM has maintained a strict balance of serving both younger adults and middle-aged listeners since its inception in 1976. This is rare among larger-market urban stations which serve either the Mainstream Urban or Urban Adult Contemporary audience. Its programming puts it in direct competition with Urban AC stations WALR-FM and the simulcast of WAMJ/WUMJ, as well as Mainstream Urban stations WHTA-FM, W233BF, and WRDG. In recent years, the station occasionally spins hit crossover pop songs when they are hot on the Top 40 charts.

WVEE was the largest urban station under CBS Radio ownership, and the only CBS Radio urban outlet in the top 10 American radio markets. As of December 2014, WVEE was the only CBS Radio Urban property remaining. Two former CBS urban stations had shifted to Rhythmic Contemporary: WPGC-FM in Washington, D.C., an Urban-leaning Rhythmic, and WJHM Orlando, which switched formats from Urban to Rhythmic Contemporary in February 2012 (and to top 40 as of February 2014). A third CBS urban station, WPEG Charlotte, was sold to the Beasley Broadcasting Group via a multi-market swap on December 1, 2014. Under Audacy ownership, WVEE is still considered the co-flagship urban station (along with WPGC-FM), but now the largest urban station as WPGC-FM Washington has shifted back to the urban format as of 2018.

Morning shows
From 1998 to 2012, WVEE had been home for Frank Ski and Wanda Smith in the Morning (originally named The Frank Ski Morning Show), when Ski took over the reins from Mike Roberts and Carol Blackmon, after Roberts retired and Blackmon left radio temporarily (now at WAMJ/WUMJ). It consistently maintained one of the highest ratings in the Atlanta region, often finishing as #1 or #2 among morning shows in Atlanta. While the show has almost always been local, it was briefly syndicated to Baltimore (Ski's adopted hometown) on sister station WXYV, as well as in Charleston, South Carolina. Ski was a former host on WXYV (then known as V103) before relocating to Atlanta in 1998 after a two-year stint at rival Baltimore urban station WERQ.

In 2008, WVEE entered a partnership with WUPA to broadcast the Frank and Wanda Television Show, recapping highlights from Frank and Wanda in the Morning for television viewers each night. The theme song for both programs is performed by singer and Atlanta native Monica.

On December 13, 2012, Ski and Smith announced that they both would be leaving WVEE after 14 years. Both said they wanted to concentrate on other ventures. Ski wanted to focus more on family and continue to run his restaurant, while Smith wanted to return to stand up comedy. There were talks with CBS Radio on syndicating the show to other cities but WVEE wanted it to stay focused on Atlanta. The last Frank and Wanda in the Morning show aired on December 20, 2012.

On January 2, 2013, former afternoon host Ryan Cameron was chosen to replace them and assume duties as host of The Ryan Cameron Morning Show. In January 2014, Wanda Smith returned to the station to co-host the morning drive alongside Cameron. As for Frank Ski, he continues to reside in the Atlanta region although he returned to radio as afternoon host for Washington, D.C. station WHUR until August 2015. As of June 2016, Ski returned to WVEE to host weekend shows for the station. On February 2, 2018, Ryan Cameron left the station to pursue opportunities outside of radio.

On February 13, 2018, Frank Ski returned to host mornings alongside Wanda Smith and comedian Joe "Miss Sophia" McIntosh. In January 2019, Smith and McIntosh exited, and the morning drive show was renamed The Morning Culture, hosted by Frank Ski, Jade Novah, and J.R. in February 2019. In July 2020, Ski once again exited WVEE to return to hosting the afternoon drive on WHUR in Washington, D.C. On August 17, 2020, Big Tigger took over hosting the morning drive with the show titled The Big Tigger Morning Show.

Awards
In 1990, 1992, 1995 and 1998, the station was honored by the National Association of Broadcasters with the Marconi Award for "Urban Station of the Year." In 2000, it tied for the honor with WUSL Philadelphia.

WVEE won the award on its own again in 2010 and in 2013.
