Kaufungen Forest

The Kaufungen Forest (Kaufunger Wald) is a range of steep, wooded hills straddling the border between the states of Hesse and Lower Saxony in central Germany. It takes its name from the town Kaufungen.

The hills lie in the fork of the Rivers Fulda and Werra, which meet at Hannoversch Münden just to the north. They are bounded to the west and north-west by the Fulda valley, and to the east and north-east by the Werra valley. The southern boundary is less clearly defined, as the range merges into the gentler hills of the Söhrewald to the south-west, and climbs towards the high plateau of the Hoher Meißner to the south-east.

The highest natural point is 643 m Hirschberg; however the 641 m summit of Bilstein forms a much better natural viewpoint, and since 1869 has been crowned with an observation tower. The present tower was erected in 1889 and extended to its present height of 20 m in 1960; it offers panoramic views across the region. Other peaks include Mühlenstein (607 m), Haferberg (581 m), Langenberg (565 m), Großer Steinberg (542 m) and Kleiner Steinberg (542 m).

The area is popular for walking and especially for cycling; an extensive network of waymarked forestry and agricultural tracks provide excellent traffic-free routes. The annual Bilstein Bike Marathon attracts hundreds of mountain bikers to compete in races of varying length and difficulty. In winter, the same trails are used for cross-country skiing. The main tourist centre for the area is the small town of Großalmerode. Other settlements include Kaufungen (which lends its name to the range), Helsa and Nieste. The larger towns of Kassel, Witzenhausen and Hessisch Lichtenau lie on the western, eastern and southern fringes respectively.

The entire of the area enjoys protected status; the hills in Hesse form part of the Meißner-Kaufungen Forest Nature Park, while those in Lower Saxony belong to the Münden Nature Park. However, the southern part of the range may be affected by the planned extension of the A 44 autobahn from its present end in Kassel to Eisenach. The controversial extension, which has been delayed and rerouted several times on environmental grounds, is part of a national strategy to improve communications between the east and west of Germany, in the wake of reunification.

WNYM

WNYM (970 AM) – branded "AM 970 The Answer" – is a commercial radio station licensed to Hackensack, New Jersey, and serving the New York metropolitan area. The station is owned by Salem Media Group and programs a conservative talk radio format. Its studios are shared with co-owned WMCA (570 AM) on Broadway in Lower Manhattan.

By day, WNYM is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for U.S. AM stations. But at night, to avoid interference to other stations, WNYM reduces power to 5,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array. The transmitter is on Commerce Way in Hackensack, near New Jersey Route 4 and the Hackensack River.

Programming
WNYM airs most of the general-market slate of the Salem Radio Network, including Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Sebastian Gorka, Eric Metaxas, Hugh Hewitt and Brandon Tatum. Former Saturday Night Live cast member Joe Piscopo hosts WNYM's local morning drive time show. Most hours begin with an update from Townhall Radio News.

The station is the New York City-area network affiliate of Syracuse University football and men's basketball broadcasts, produced by Learfield. WNYM has also carried New York Islanders broadcasts, produced by Hofstra University-owned WRHU in Hempstead, New York. These are games which could not air over the Islanders' primary New York City radio affiliate, WEPN-AM-FM due to scheduling conflicts. The station previously shared New York City radio rights to the Islanders with WFAN-AM-FM during the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons.

WNYM was formerly the flagship station of Seton Hall University men's basketball, and shared coverage of St. John's University men's basketball with WMCA; both teams have moved their radio broadcasts to streaming. WNYM has also aired ESPN Radio-produced NFL football and MLB baseball games that, due to programming conflicts, are unable to be broadcast by WEPN-FM, the local ESPN Radio outlet.

Experimental broadcasts
Although FCC records list WNYM's "date first licensed" as August 1926, some station histories cite 1922 as its establishment date. A temporary broadcasting station operated during that year by founder Frank V. Bremer.

Bremer had extensive experience as a radio operator and pioneering broadcaster, starting with his amateur station, 2IA, located at his home at 3613 Boulevard in Jersey City, New Jersey. As part of his activities he is said to have hired out 2IA for $50 to the Jersey Journal for a one-hour New Year's program that began at 11:30 p.m. on December 31, 1921, for which the newspaper reportedly paid him $50. Ten days later a second newspaper, the Jersey Review, teamed up with Bremer to present a regular schedule of twice-weekly programs over 2IA.

Initially, there were no formal standards in the United States for radio stations making transmissions intended for the general public, and numerous stations under various classifications made entertainment broadcasts. However, effective December 1, 1921, the Department of Commerce, regulators of radio at this time, adopted a regulation that formally created a broadcasting station category, and stations were now required to hold a Limited Commercial license authorizing operation on wavelengths of 360 meters (833 kHz) for "entertainment" broadcasts or 485 meters (619 kHz) for "market and weather reports".

In order to conform with the new requirements, the Jersey Review applied for and was issued a temporary broadcasting station authorization with the sequentially assigned call letters of WAAT, for operation on the 360 meter "entertainment" wavelength, with the station continuing to broadcast out of Bremer's home. The temporary authorization only listed two days of operation, April 16 and 19, 1922. However, WAAT subsequently maintained a two-programs-a-week schedule for a number of months, finally ending the broadcasts in October.

Early years

Bremer returned to the broadcasting airwaves four years later, with a new station licensed on August 19, 1926, to the Bremer Broadcasting Corporation in Jersey City. It was assigned the sequentially issued call letters WKBD. WKBD began a series of test transmissions in late August, initially broadcasting from Bremer's store at 210 Jackson Avenue. The next month Bremer was permitted to reclaim the call sign used in 1922, and the station was renamed WAAT. Its initial slogan was "The Voice At the Gate of the Golden State". A formal debut broadcast from studios at the Hotel Plaza in Jersey City was held on November 20, 1926.

WAAT began operations during a chaotic period when most government regulation had been suspended, with new stations free to be set up with few restrictions, including choosing their own transmitting frequencies. Bremer initially squeezed WAAT onto the crowded New York area AM band using a non-standard frequency of 1275 kHz. Following the reestablishment of government control by the formation of the Federal Radio Commission (FRC), the new regulators issued a series of temporary authorizations beginning on May 3, 1927, with WAAT moved to a more traditional frequency of 1270 kHz, which a month later was changed to 1220 kHz. Stations were informed that if they wanted to continue operating, they needed to file a formal license application by January 15, 1928, as the first step in determining whether they met the new "public interest, convenience, or necessity" standard. On May 25, 1928, the FRC issued General Order 32, which notified 164 stations, including WAAT, that "From an examination of your application for future license it does not find that public interest, convenience, or necessity would be served by granting it." However, the station successfully convinced the commission that it should remain licensed.

In November 1928, with the implementation of the FRC's General Order 40, the station moved to 1070 kHz, which was followed by a switch to 940 kHz in April 1930. Effective March 1941, under the provisions of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement, stations on 940 kHz were reassigned to 970 kHz, which has been the station's frequency ever since. In 1943, WAAT's main studio location was changed from Jersey City to Newark, New Jersey in the Hotel Douglas, later moving to the Mosque Theatre at 1020 Broad Street.

In 1947, Bremer launched an FM station, WAAT-FM (94.7, now WXBK), and the following year a sister television station, WATV, broadcasting on channel 13. In 1951 the stations were sold to Irving Rosenhaus. WAAT evolved to a middle of the road music format by the 1950s, similar to what WNEW, WOR, and WCBS were doing at that time.

In 1957, the WAAT/WATV operation was sold by Bremer to National Telefilm Associates, which changed the station's call letters to WNTA. National Telefilm split up its holdings in 1961, with WNTA-TV (now WNET) being sold to a New York City-based nonprofit educational group, and the WNTA radio stations going to Communications Industries Broadcasting. The new owners changed the call sign to WJRZ. The MOR format continued until September 15, 1965, when WJRZ became the first radio station in the New York metro area to play a country music format around the clock. It was also the flagship radio outlet for the New York Mets from 1967 until 1971.

In 1968, the station established a new transmitter site in Hackensack, New Jersey, and changed its community of license from Newark to Hackensack. A serious fire destroyed its studios located in a house on Hackensack Avenue in North Hackensack on October 17, 1970. The station operated out of a prefab building near the transmitter site for a period of time afterward.

Top 40 years
The station was put up for sale in the fall of 1970. Around that time, future sister station WMCA dropped top 40 for a talk format, leaving WABC as the only Top 40 radio station on the AM dial.

WJRZ was sold to Pacific and Southern Broadcasting (which merged with Combined Communications in 1974) on January 6, 1971. The call letters were changed on May 16 of that year to WWDJ (known on the air as "97-DJ"), and the station attempted to take on WABC and replace WMCA as the New York market's second Top 40 outlet. For a brief time, program director Mark Driscoll began imaging the station as "9-J", giving rise to a recorded parody of the station called "Nine" produced by a group that included disk jockeys Howard Hoffman, Randy West, Pete Salant and Russ "Famous Amos" DiBello.

The station was hampered by a directional signal that covered Manhattan and Northern New Jersey but suffered in the rest of the Five Boroughs and was virtually nonexistent on Long Island and western New Jersey. Eventually, FM competition from WCBS-FM and adult top 40 station WXLO (now WEPN-FM), and an evolution to adult Top 40 by WNBC (now WFAN), began to eat into WWDJ's ratings. In November 1973 it was ranked 15th in the Arbitron ratings.

Becoming a religious station (1974 - 1976)
By 1974, the station was losing money and unable to sell enough advertising. The studios were moved to the transmitter site. In the fall of 1973, the station began selling airtime to religious groups on weekends, which brought much-needed revenue for the station as it continued with Top 40 during weekdays into 1974. But as a result of the religious hours making money, WWDJ abruptly dropped the top 40 format on April 1, 1974, and switched to a Christian radio format full time. Because the change took place on April Fool's Day, many listeners thought the switch was some sort of joke.

Initially, WWDJ sold two-thirds of its daily airtime to outside ministries and played traditional Christian music the rest of the time, with the exception of a few hours on Saturdays devoted to a then-new genre, contemporary Christian music. WWDJ was sold to Communicom Corporation of America in April 1978, about a year before Combined Communications' merger into the Gannett Company in 1979.

CCM years
By late 1976, the music during the week was a mix of traditional and soft contemporary. As of 1979, the music was adult contemporary Christian and evolved to contemporary Christian by 1982.

The station still only played music part-time on weekdays and Saturdays. WWDJ continued with its mix of Contemporary Christian Music along with Christian talk and teaching throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s. Frank Reed, a former DJ with WNBC 660, hosted mornings.

Salem ownership
In 1994, WWDJ was sold to Salem Communications. In the New York radio market, Salem already owned WMCA since 1989. Initially Salem retained WWDJ's studios on Main Street in Hackensack. As WMCA ran Christian talk and teaching programming, it was thought that WWDJ would move to Christian music full-time weekdays with specialty Christian programming on weekends. While this did not happen, WWDJ by the end of 1994 was playing music.

In the fall of 1995, the station abruptly changed formats. The station's teaching programming expanded, with music cut back to morning and afternoon drive time hours on weekdays and Saturdays afternoons. Most of the announcers were laid off and the station revamped the format to a rhythmic Christian music format. This employed contemporary worship music, gospel music and light contemporary Christian songs. WWDJ positioned itself as "The Sound of Praise and Celebration". George Flores was the only air-staffer retained and his afternoon show was pre-recorded. In 2002, local on-air personalities expanded Sylvia Lynn Pate and "Transitions with Sylvia Lynn" which was added to the weekday evening line-up. Pate was WWDJ's first African-American female on-air talent.

This format continued until 2004, when the music was dropped and WWDJ moved to a Christian brokered format. Around this time, Pillar of Fire Church-owned WAWZ (99.1 FM) in Zarephath dropped all but a few religious programs to play contemporary Christian music 18 hours a day, and Salem picked up many of the bumped shows; this caused Salem to decide to air programming full-time on WWDJ. For about two years, the station billed itself "WMCA II" all the time, with the WWDJ call letters used only in the hourly station identification. The station's on-air identity reverted to "970 DJ" by 2007, but programming continued to be overflow programs from WMCA, as well as some syndicated mostly-secular personalities such as Laura Schlessinger and Kevin McCullough. They also broadcast infomercials and church services, as well as 30- and 60-minute religious shows.

Becoming a talk station
On July 25, 2008, WWDJ swapped call signs with a sister station in the Boston area and briefly became WTTT. It stunted for several days with all-Frank Sinatra ("Frank 97 AM") programming, followed by a short stint of all-Pat Boone ("The Booner 970") music. On August 6, 2008, the station's call letters were changed to WNYM, a transfer of the call sign Salem had used on AM 1330 (now WWRV) since 1981. This change included adopting a conservative talk format. It added Fox News Radio for its world and national newscasts.

John R. Gambling, for many years with 710 WOR, hosted a midday show on WNYM from April 2014 until September 2016. In January 2014, Joe Piscopo became WNYM's morning drive time host. The rest of the schedule on weekdays is from the Salem Radio Network line up of conservative talk shows.

Affinity laws

The affinity laws (also known as the "Fan Laws" or "Pump Laws") for pumps/fans are used in hydraulics, hydronics and/or HVAC to express the relationship between variables involved in pump or fan performance (such as head, volumetric flow rate, shaft speed) and power. They apply to pumps, fans, and hydraulic turbines. In these rotary implements, the affinity laws apply both to centrifugal and axial flows.

The laws are derived using the Buckingham π theorem. The affinity laws are useful as they allow prediction of the head discharge characteristic of a pump or fan from a known characteristic measured at a different speed or impeller diameter. The only requirement is that the two pumps or fans are dynamically similar, that is, the ratios of the fluid forced are the same. It is also required that the two impellers' speed or diameter are running at the same efficiency.

'''Law 1. With impeller diameter (D) held constant:'''

Law 1a. Flow is proportional to shaft speed:
 * $$ { Q_1 \over Q_2} = { \left ( {N_1 \over N_2} \right )^1}  $$

Law 1b. Pressure or Head is proportional to the square of shaft speed:
 * $$ {H_1 \over H_2} = { \left ( {N_1 \over N_2} \right )^2 }$$

Law 1c. Power is proportional to the cube of shaft speed:
 * $$ {P_1 \over P_2} = { \left ( {N_1 \over N_2} \right )^3 }$$

'''Law 2. With shaft speed (N) held constant:'''

Law 2a. Flow is proportional to the impeller diameter:
 * $$ {Q_1 \over Q_2} = { \left ( {D_1 \over D_2} \right )^1 } $$

Law 2b. Pressure or Head is proportional to the square of the impeller diameter:
 * $$ {H_1 \over H_2} = { \left ( {D_1 \over D_2} \right )^2 }$$

Law 2c. Power is proportional to the cube of the impeller diameter:
 * $$ {P_1 \over P_2} = { \left ( {D_1 \over D_2} \right )^3 }$$

where
 * $$ Q $$ is the volumetric flow rate (e.g. CFM, GPM or L/s)
 * $$ D $$ is the impeller diameter (e.g. in or mm)
 * $$ N $$ is the shaft rotational speed (e.g. rpm)
 * $$ H $$ is the pressure or head developed by the fan/pump (e.g. psi or Pascal)
 * $$ P $$ is the shaft power (e.g. W).

These laws assume that the pump/fan efficiency remains constant i.e. $$ \eta_1 = \eta_2 $$, which is rarely exactly true, but can be a good approximation when used over appropriate frequency or diameter ranges (i.e., a fan will not move anywhere near 1000 times as much air when spun at 1000 times its designed operating speed, but the air movement may be increased by 99% when the operating speed is only doubled). The exact relationship between speed, diameter, and efficiency depends on the particulars of the individual fan or pump design. Product testing or computational fluid dynamics become necessary if the range of acceptability is unknown, or if a high level of accuracy is required in the calculation. Interpolation from accurate data is also more accurate than the affinity laws. When applied to pumps, the laws work well for constant diameter variable speed case (Law 1) but are less accurate for constant speed variable impeller diameter case (Law 2).

For radial flow centrifugal pumps, it is common industry practice to reduce the impeller diameter by "trimming", whereby the outer diameter of a particular impeller is reduced by machining to alter the performance of the pump. In this particular industry it is also common to refer to the mathematical approximations that relate the volumetric flow rate, trimmed impeller diameter, shaft rotational speed, developed head, and power as the "affinity laws". Because trimming an impeller changes the fundamental shape of the impeller (increasing the specific speed), the relationships shown in Law 2 cannot be utilized in this scenario. In this case, the industry looks to the following relationships, which is a better approximation of these variables when dealing with impeller trimming.

With shaft speed (N) held constant and for small variations in impeller diameter via trimming:

The volumetric flow rate varies directly with the trimmed impeller diameter:
 * $$ { Q_1 \over Q_2} = { \left ( {D_1 \over D_2} \right )^1}  $$

The pump developed head (the total dynamic head) varies to the square of the trimmed impeller diameter:
 * $$ {H_1 \over H_2} = { \left ( {D_1 \over D_2} \right )^2 }$$

The power varies to the cube of the trimmed impeller diameter:
 * $$ {P_1 \over P_2} = { \left ( {D_1 \over D_2} \right )^3 }$$

where
 * $$ Q $$ is the volumetric flow rate (e.g. CFM, GPM or L/s)
 * $$ D $$ is the impeller diameter (e.g. in or mm)
 * $$ N $$ is the shaft rotational speed (e.g. rpm)
 * $$ H $$ is the total dynamic head developed by the pump (e.g. m or ft)
 * $$ P $$ is the shaft power (e.g. W or HP)

I scrutinised the map recently, but did not find any cities wriiten in the Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Muzzafarabad is therefore invisible on this map.

use of the term "Pakistan-occupied Kashmir"
"Pakistan-occupied Kashmir" is a propaganda term used by India to describe the area controlled by Pakistan; hence it is not neutral. It should be replaced by an internationally recognized term such as "Pakistani-administered Kashmir" (the official term used by the Pakistani government is "Azad Jammu and Kashmir"). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.101.105.127 (talk) 08:15, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Hindi/Urdu spellings of the city's name
A lot of people have been trying to put the Hindi name of the city into the page, which is inappropriate from both the Indian and Pakistani views

1. Pakistani view - straight forward. Hindi is the language of India which does not control the territory.

2. Indian view - Muzaffarabad is "rightfully" part of the "State" of Jammu and Kashmir. Jammu and Kashmir's official language is URDU, not Hindi. Hence, Muzafarrabad, even if part of India, would not be spelled in Hindi, only in the legally recognized language of Jammu and Kashmir as per article 370.

Railways section
The closest railway stations are Rawalpindi in Pakistan and Baramulla in India. Jammu and Kashmir (India) Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said that he intended to extend the Kashmir rail line to Muzaffarabad, to facilitate movement of people and goods much easier across the LoC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.158.185.50 (talk)

Whitehorse Hill

Whitehorse Hill is a hill in the Berkshire Downs in Oxfordshire, England, west of Wantage. At 261 m, it is the highest point in Oxfordshire. Uffington Castle lies on the summit of the hill, and the Uffington White Horse is on the hill's northern slope. The hill and an adjacent area below, including Dragon Hill and The Manger, make up a 98.9 ha biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The Manger, a dry valley below the hill, is a Geological Conservation Review site. It provides evidence of solifluction (slow slipping of soil downhill due to repeated freezing and thawing) during at least one cold stage of the Pleistocene.

The site has unimproved chalk grassland with a rich variety of flora, particularly in former chalk quarries. Grasses include upright brome and sheep’s fescue.

The Ridgeway National Trail crosses the hill south of Uffington Castle.

If you see a "real place" article tagged as speedy (usually because it's a one liner), by all means remove the notice and put on the talk page. Location articles are slightly above people and things in terms of how much "notability" has to be asserted - if the place exists, it's generally in, and will be expanded in the future.

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available
 After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Portal:Australia/Anniversaries
Hello Tom. I have created this new section, which hopefully will become a new daily section on Australia portal. If you think this is useful, you can say so at Portal talk:Australia, or simply start adding notable events to the subpages for the respective days. If it is enacted, then we have code, similar to Portal:Germany, which will change the daily subpage automatically. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 05:43, 23 May 2006 (UTC).

Dab redlinks
Whoa! check out WP:MOSDAB. John (Jwy) 13:44, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the short first note. It looks you were over-eager with at least Rafael Trujillo (disambiguation) and Ragnarok (disambiguation) and I wanted to make sure you knew about this part of the MOSDAB. . . John (Jwy) 13:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I hadn't read carefully the section you quoted. I operate under the assumption that a blue link related to the subject is useful, even if it doesn't directly mention the topic.  The reason NOT to have them is to make it easier to "eye navigate" to the item you are looking for.  I don't think an extra dab (pardon the pun) of blue here or there makes too much difference in that.  But I might be too liberal about it.  I completely support removing blue links when the dab term is blue!
 * My initial alarm was because on the only two articles on my watchlist that you changed, you removed all the bluelinks and I started thinking you were doing it automatically without regard to the MOSDAB redlink paragraph. Then I looked at your home page and contribution list and thought "oh my god, he's got a bot just removing all the bluelinks," so I was bit shorter and ruder in my hurry.  I see you are thinking it through - so please resume your good work - and again apologies for being alarmist.  And MAYBE consider being a little more liberal in keeping some blue links
 * ...oh, and my 13:58 reply above - was actually a clarification of my 13:44 msg, I hadn't seen your message yet. Turns out it worked fine as an answer! John (Jwy) 17:57, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * All cool. But your response made me realize that I should have qualified it:
 * And MAYBE consider being a little more liberal in keeping some blue links when that dab line's article name is redlinked
 * I completely support getting rid of them elsewhere on the page. Cheers John (Jwy) 00:31, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * You hit another dab page (Ream) on my watchlist. I usually leave a bluelink with each entry, so I would have left caulk.  I was about to say leave a link for borer as well, but I clicked the link. . .  Just food for thought, not a demand for action on your part.  John (Jwy) 16:38, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I didn't feel strongly enough about Ream to change it. Since we are both MOSDABing, I'm mainly bouncing ideas off you about things in general rather than quibbling about individual pages. . .  John (Jwy) 22:49, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

wikilinks on disambig page per Manual of Style ????
Why do you remove the links? At least in this case it made the info much less useful (too complicated to explain). The reason of Wikipedia is to provide as much useful and exact information as possible, not to dance by the song of the day. Thanks for understanding. Pavel Vozenilek 18:06, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Since we just had a similar discussion just above, I thought I'd pipe in: I think the changes made the page more useful as a disambiguation page, while it might have reduced the amount of information.  Disambiguation pages are intended to get you to the page you want quickly.  As such it provides what information it is necessary to know which link to click and not more.  WP:MOSDAB explains things pretty well, I think.  John (Jwy) 19:52, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, John. I've copied the above to, and answered on, Pavel's talk page. Colon el Tom 05:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Red-FM and WP:MOSDAB
Thanks for the info - wasn't aware of WP:MOSDAB. --Ckatz 23:34, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

 * hey, topic heading already here!
 * The mindless answer would be "I'm just following orders" in WP:MOSDAB. But I've read somewhere (and believe) that having the article links un-piped makes it easier to understand what is happening when you deal with the dab page and why you ended up on the page you do.  For example Red-FM might be disorienting.  The other thing is that the blue (and red) are easier to pick up, and if they include the useful dab information, navigation is quicker.  You'll see (India) quicker than India.  John (Jwy) 14:47, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * You didn't answer the question I asked { :) }, but you have answered the question I should have asked. Yes, it makes sense; I agree. Red FM (India) (93.5 MHz) in Mumbai is preferable to Red FM (93.5 MHz) in Mumbai, India or Red FM (93.5 MHz) in India. Thanks, Colon el  Tom 23:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Stuart Brisley
Hi, thanks for kind words and getting in touch re. the above. The statement "widely regarded as the godfather of British performance art" is true and he is well known in the field, certainly needing an article. I've added a link to his work in the Tate gallery. The article undersells him, to say the least. He gets over 11,000 google hits and, although this isn't infallible, there are, for example, shows at the ICA and South London Gallery, which assert credibility.

In general re. artists WP:BIO states "Painters, sculptors, architects, engineers, and other professionals whose work is widely recognized (for better or worse) and who are likely to become a part of the enduring historical record of that field". It then becomes a question of interpreting "widely recognised", which is problematic as most artits are not widely recognised by definition, reputations are often being known only within the field and not outside (Brisley being a case in point). The problem is compounded on Wiki by what appears to be a very small number of people editing articles on contemporary artists. I've started a number of articles on contemporary UK art figures that I thought needed to be covered, and have been amazed that they have largely remained exactly as I've left them.

Another drawback is the cultural difference between writing about art in the wider world and wiki requirements, so, for example, new editors often get clobbered for making statements without verifiable references, e.g. the Brisley ""widely regarded as the godfather of British performance art", which would be taken for granted in art writing, and yet possibly end up as AfD on wiki. The new editor then thinks wiki is an amateur shambles and leaves it. For these reasons, I advocate a certain caution, and think in the first instance that an attempt at patient dialogue with the article's originating/main editor would be beneficial. I have done this with several articles, and something which was a bit shambolic in wiki terms has ended up as a viable article. It wasn't the original editor's fault, just the initial difficulty of mastering a huge amount of wiki requirements.

Also artists don't have fans in the way that bands do, for example, when a fan is likely to start an article. Artists have galleries, collectors and art critics, who are all too busy making money to want to contribute to wiki. It may well be that the only person who contributes about an artist, certainly to begin with, is the artist, which falls foul of VANITY, though it should be noted this in itself is not a reason for deletion, if the subject is sufficiently notable. This brings us back to the original question of how to judge this. What wiki really needs is more people knowledgeable in the field, or editors willing to gain a greater knowledge of it. (I've certainly learnt a lot from through researching for articles.) This needs to be encouraged, and will only happen if there is an intelligent, tolerant and communicative stance from existing editors, certainly not by a knee-jerk and sometimes blatantly ignorant and insulting comments that I have seen in some AfDs on artists, such as "a way that can be replicated by any kid" and "something kindergarden kids do". Your approach to Stuart Brisley is a good example of proceeding with caution and seeking more research, which should be encouraged.

It would be good also to liaise with WikiProject Visual arts and WikiProject Contemporary Art to contact people with a declared interest in this area.

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

division of Coburg, Victorian Greens
Hi there, I noticed that you removed the redlink to the division of Coburg on the Victorian Greens article because the seat no longer exists. Is not it irrelevant whether the seat still exists or not? It was an historical seat and many historical things no longer in existance in WP have articles about them such as the Third Reich and Ned Kelly.

Things happened in that seat, it was held by various people, votes were recorded. All of these are relevant facts for an encyclopedia. Grumpyyoungman01 00:09, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Princess Superstar.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Princess Superstar.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Seraphimblade Talk to me 09:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of male performers in gay porn films
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of male performers in gay porn films. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/List of male performers in gay porn films (5th nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:58, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Howdy
So you don't like The Epoch Times. Fair enough. Your point was noted...twice now. But honestly, your refusal to actually read the many other sources, what they wrote, read about their editorial pages, their reach in readership, ...to fail to do your job as an editor and voter in such a way, and yet to then post your opinion anyway, as though it has truly considered the evidence, is, well...shocking. Just once, would you please go to PopMatters. Google it right now. It is cited several times on the page, yet you have ignored it. Go to it now. Imagine you are into cool music, for one second, and look at that site. Look at the editorial page. Look at the two pieces written on Chancellorpink there, the two pieces that are not written "in passing" in the least. Also, look at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, read about its long journalistic history, one of great integrity, reliability and independence, read the three pieces written on Chancellorpink there as well, and read about the pres member who wrote them, about his outstanding journalistic history, and how he specializes in MUSIC. Two sources right there, 5 pieces, all detailed, all independent, all written about this artist. That meets the standard right there And I could go on. Nothing is fluff or overstated about my arguments. I am only arguing the facts and applying the standard that you cited. I do wish you'd reconsider. You seem an intelligent person. Bubblegumcrunch (talk) 17:53, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Thank you for reconsidering and toning down your initial post on my talk page.
 * I had already read the two pieces on PopMatters. They're album reviews, not a piece on the artist per se. As another editor had already commented in the AfD that reviews are not proof of notability, I didn't feel the need to repeat that comment.
 * If you find my continued unwillingness to agree with you that the citations in the article are evidence that the artist meets wikipedia's standards of notability shocking, so be it. That wasn't -and still isn't - my intention. Colon el Tom 20:55, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Well, Tom, of course if you actually believed that poppycock about reviews not being a valid writing to indicate notability, you'd have said so to begin with re The Epoch Times.

RE: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Campbell (journalist)
Hi. Thanks for your note. It wasn't an easy one. There are more than just the arguments in the comments marked "Weak Keep", that suggested sufficient notability (although it would seem most feel that it is a weak claim to notability). I also didn't completely dismiss Brandonfarris's input, anymore than I did Garth M's. I did not get the impression that most who considered him not notable enough, were suggesting that he was completely non-notable. So we seem to have a group who consider him not quite notable enough, and other who consider him just notable enough. It seems that most people understand the guidelines but, as always they have their own interpretations of the facts. In the absence of definitive arguments in terms of proving or disproving notability, I believe that "no consensus" is the right decision. Hope that clarifies my thinking somewhat.

Heroic realism is art used as political propaganda. Examples include the socialist realism style associated with socialist states, and sometimes the similar art style associated with fascism. Its characteristics are realism and the depiction of figures as ideal types or symbols, often with explicit rejection of modernism in art (as "bourgeois" or "degenerate").

Purposes
Both socialist art and Nazi art were explicitly ordered to be heroic, and were in consequence an ideal form of the real, rather than pure realism.

Heroic realism designs were used to propagate the revolution in the Soviet Union during Lenin's time. Lenin doubted that the illiterate population would understand what abstract visual images were intended to communicate. He also thought that artists, such as constructivists and productivists, may have had a hidden agenda against the government. Movements such as Cubism were denounced as bourgeois and criticized for its failure to draw on the heritage of art and for rejecting the beautiful on the grounds that it was "old", whereas proletarian culture had to draw on what was learned in the prior times. The artists countered such thinking, however, by saying that the advanced art represented the advanced political ideas.

In literature, Maxim Gorky urged that one obtained realism by extracting the basic idea from reality, but by adding the potential and desirable to it, one added romanticism with deep revolutionary potential. Stalin understood the powerful message which could be sent through images to a primarily illiterate population. Once he was in power, posters quickly became the new medium for educating illiterate peasants on daily life—from bathing, to farming, the posters provided visual instruction on almost everything. In 1931–2, the early emphasis on the "little man" and the anonymous laboring masses gave way to the "hero of labor", derived from the people but set apart by the scale of his deeds. As a consequence, literature filled with "positive heroes" that were sometimes tedious.

In 1934, a new doctrine called Socialist realism came about. This new movement rejected the "bourgeois influence on art" and replaced it with appreciation for figurative painting, photography and new typography layouts. Writers were explicitly enjoined to develop "heroization." At the Paris World Fair, Vera Mukhina's Worker and Kolkhoz Woman exemplified the ideal New Soviet Man, depicting a man and woman in working clothes, with his hammer and her sickle crossed, in a monumental statue with both striding forward.

When Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933, modern art was condemned as degenerate, and largely prohibited. The Nazis promoted a style of art based on classical models, intended to nurture nationalism. Heroic realism was to inculcate values of sacrifice, duty, and devotion. The heroic man, who was bound to blood and soil, acted rather than thought and sacrificed himself. This particularly favored the heroic death.

Nazi theory explicitly rejected "materialism", and therefore, despite the realistic treatment of images, "realism" was a seldom used term. A painter was to create an ideal picture, for eternity. The images of men, and still more of women, were heavily stereotyped, with physical perfection required for the nude paintings. In painting, peasants were popular images, reflecting a simple life in harmony with nature. Sculpture's monumental possibilities gave it a better expression of Nazi racial theories. The most common image was of the nude male, expressing the ideal of the Aryan race. Arno Breker's skill at this type made him Hitler's favorite sculptor. Nude females were also common, though they tended to be less monumental. In both cases, the physical form was to show no imperfections. At the Paris Exposition of 1937, Josef Thorak's Comradeship stood outside the German pavilion, depicting two enormous nude males, clasping hands and standing defiantly side by side, in a pose of defense and racial camaraderie. Sacrifice is associated with enduring adversity, each person is expected to give one's own life for the people since your people can demand of you what it has given you, thus is sacrifice tied to duty. Justice comes from the fulfillment of duty, the highest duty is the greatest happiness. Doing one's duty is the sign of a free man, since he does what is required of him, and it is required of all of us, that demand of the people. A person who has done his duty too his utmost and has done it better than someone else higher or lower in the pecking order deserves greater admiration and esteem. He or she that done his or her duty in such a way has the greatest right to guide a country.

Talk:Peter Kember

Redirections
I redirected Spectrum (UK band), Sonic Boom and Experimental Audio Research to here, because there didn't seem to be much point in individual entries for Sonic's often interchangeable projects. Sadly, Chris Barrus's extensive discography seems to have vapourised, but it's still accessible via archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/20030416030843/www.no-fi.com/spectrum/ --  ajn (talk) 09:07, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I disagree with this so-called interchangebility of Kember's projects. Sonic Boom is not a project; it is an alias of his. Spectrum and EAR sound nothing alike, apart from maybe "forever alien" in parts. And why did you skip Spacemen 3 and jump ahead to Spectrum?

71.131.181.112 (talk) 06:02, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

To do:
 * Description of music
 * Drug use (Kember's one of the few musicians I know of who advocates heroin as a recreational drug)
 * Packaging (Op-art, that oil-water bubble pack for the first album, 5" vinyl, etc)

 * I would also query why 'Spectrum' and 'EAR' don't have seperate article pages.

Roland Sparkes (talk) 23:46, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I observe that EAR does have its own article, but Spectrum does NOT have its own article. This is inconsistent.  My view is that both should have their own article and the relevant material from the Peter Kember article should be transferred across.Roland Sparkes (talk) 15:08, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Another Spectrum
There's a Spectrum that we all know about that came from AU in the early 70's, but there was also another UK band called Spectrum from (I believe) Essex who released a double handful of singles between 67 and 69 (none of which got anywhere). I know next to nothing about them except for a few scattered pages on the web, and the fact that Free / The Tale of Wally Toft was the first record I ever bought.

Probably worth adding a disambiguation page here. --WestwoodMatt (talk) 21:56, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Ushpizin

Ushpizin (האושפיזין) is a 2004 Israeli film directed by Gidi Dar and written by Shuli Rand. It starred Rand, and his wife, Michal, who had never acted before.

Plot
Moshe and Mali Bellanga are an impoverished, childless, Hasidic baalei teshuva ("returnees to Judaism") couple in the Breslov community in Jerusalem. After Moshe is passed over for a stipend he expected, they cannot pay their bills, much less prepare for the upcoming Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

Moshe admires a particularly beautiful etrog, or citron, one of the four species required for the holiday observance. They console themselves by recalling a saying of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov that difficult times are a test of faith. After some anguished prayer, they receive an unexpected monetary gift on the eve of the holiday and Moshe buys the etrog for 1000 shekels (approx. $300), a large sum of money that is much more than he can afford.

The couple is visited by a pair of escaped convicts, one of whom knew Moshe in his earlier, non-religious life. The convicts become their guests (ushpizin) in the sukkah, creating many conflicts and straining Moshe and Mali's relationship.

Cast

 * Shuli Rand as Moshe Bellanga
 * Michal Batsheva Rand as Malli Bellanga
 * Shaul Mizrahi as Eliyahu Scorpio
 * Ilan Ganani as Yossef
 * Avraham Abutbul as Ben Baruch

Locations
Ushpizin was filmed on location in Jerusalem, Israel. While a few scenes were shot in Haredi neighbourhoods, most of the film was shot at the Schneller Orphanage and in Jerusalem's Nachlaot neighbourhood. Several streets in Nachlaot feature frequently in the film: Rama Street (where Ben-Baruch meets Moshe and offers him the Sukkah, and where Moshe and Malli part), Zichron Tuvyah (where Moshe's Yeshiva is located) and Tavor Street, while others appear less frequently or even in single shots. The stone buildings of Nachlaot substitute for the Shmuel Hanavi area, though landmarks such as the Wolfson Towers and the Yad Labanim building reveal the true location.

Soundtrack
No separate soundtrack has been sold, though two of the main songs—"Ata Kadosh" and "Yesh Rak HaKadosh Baruch Hu"—were later released on an album by Adi Ran.

Release and reception
The film received mostly positive reviews, and was described as a heart warming tale for the Sukkot holiday. Michal Batsheva Rand's performance won many praises, being her first performance on screen.

The film was a box-office success, becoming one of the most financially successful Israeli movies of 2005. It attracted many religious and Haredi viewers who normally do not go to the cinema.

Following the release, Ushpizin was ranked by review aggregator Metacritic who gave it 70% out of a 100. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film 94% approval, which was based on 63 reviews. The site's consensus reads: "Ushpizin offers a rare and warmly intimate look into ultra-Orthodox Jewish culture".

Haredi culture
Rand, for religious/modesty reasons, insisted that his wife, who had never acted before, star opposite him in the film.

The film was not directed at the Haredi film consumer, since Haredim do not go to movie theatres. Nonetheless, it attracted much attention and this led to heavy downloading and infringement of the movie from people who otherwise had no access to see the film. After inquiries from people who had watched unauthorized copies of the film asking how to pay, pashkvilen were put up in Haredi neighbourhoods. The advertisements told the public of the financial problem that resulted from the file sharing, a reminder of the prohibition against stealing and included a post office box and telephone number in which to pay with a credit card. Another way to repay the makers of the movie was to call movie theatres, order tickets, and not show up.

Awards and nominations
The film was nominated for three Ophir Awards and Shuli Rand won for Best Actor. In his speech, he thanked God and Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. The film was also nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for Shaul Mizrahi.

File:The earth is not a cold dead place.jpg

Summary
Rationale for this image:

 * The cover is used to represent an acclaimed album and an important one in the discography of Explosions in the Sky
 * This image has been used in several websites, and so use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is
 * The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the album
 * The image does not limit the group's ability to sell the album
 * The only purpose of the image is to help describe the The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place album and no other purpose

WADO

WADO (1280 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to New York, New York. It is owned by Latino Media Network, and broadcasts a Spanish-language sports radio format.

By day, WADO is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum permitted for American AM stations. But to protect other stations on 1280 AM from interference, at night it reduces power to 7,200 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter is on New Jersey Route 120 in Carlstadt, New Jersey.

Programming
WADO currently broadcasts all games of the New York Jets, and certain games for the New York Yankees, New York Knicks and New York Islanders. It previously aired the New York City FC soccer team.

Sports

 * New York Jets and Monday Night Football from the National Football League - Spanish language play by play from Clemson Smith-Muñiz
 * New York Islanders from the National Hockey League - Spanish language play by play from Bruno Vain
 * New York Knicks from the National Basketball Association - Spanish language play by play, produced by MSG Network, simulcast on second audio program
 * New York Yankees from Major League Baseball - all regular season and postseason games aired; simulcast on the second audio program of YES Network, and MLB.tv

WGL and WOV
WGL was first reported in December 1926, owned by the International Broadcasting Corporation in New York City. WGL's start occurred during a period when the U.S. government had temporarily lost its authority to assign transmitting frequencies, and at the end of 1926 the station was reported to be on a non-standard frequency of 678 kHz. On January 30, 1927, the station signed on, with International Broadcasting president Colonel Lewis Landes stating on the inaugural broadcast, "The International Broadcasting Corporation's aim is to adhere to truth, to be free of partisanship, religious or political."

Full government regulation of radio was restored with the formation of the Federal Radio Commission (FRC). Stations were initially issued a series of temporary authorizations starting on May 3, 1927, which assigned WGL to 720 kHz. The station also moved to Secaucus, New Jersey. WGL's assignment was changed to 1170 kHz, with WOR in Newark moving to 710 kHz. WGL's owners wanted to remain on 720 kHz, and after WOR was awarded 710 kHz, both stations went to court, with WOR eventually winning the case. In June 1927, WGL moved to 1020 AM, sharing this frequency with a Paterson station, WODA. In August 1927, studio manager Charles Isaacson announced one of the city's first attempts at local news coverage. WGL was organizing listeners to volunteer as radio reporters and call the station with breaking news stories.

Stations were informed that if they wanted to continue operating, they needed to file a formal license application by January 15, 1928, as the first step in determining whether they met the new "public interest, convenience, or necessity" standard. On May 25, 1928, the FRC issued General Order 32, which notified 164 stations, including WGL, that "From an examination of your application for future license it does not find that public interest, convenience, or necessity would be served by granting it." However, the station successfully convinced the commission that it should remain licensed.

On September 16, 1928, WGL changed its call sign to WOV and was sold to Sicilian-born importer John Iraci. (The WGL call letters were then picked up by a station in Fort Wayne, Indiana.) On November 11, 1928, with the implementation of the FRC's General Order 40, WOV was moved to 1130 kHz, with an authorization that limited it to a schedule of daytime to 6 pm.

Italian programming
WOV's initial programming was aimed at a general audience, but by the mid-1930s, it strengthened its ethnic ties and expanded its Italian-language programming to fill the daytime hours. WOV soon became the dominant Italian voice in the Northeast through its affiliation with share-time station WBIL and Iraci's WPEN in Philadelphia. During this time, the Italian-American accordionist John Serry Sr. was featured as a soloist in several broadcasts on WADO early in his professional career in 1931.

In early 1940, WOV made a major upgrade in facilities, when stations WPG and WBIL on 1100 kHz were deleted, and WOV moved to this vacated frequency. The next March, with the implementation of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement, stations on 1100 kHz were moved as a group to 1130 kHz, meaning WOV returned to its previous assignment.

November 12, 1941, call sign swap between WNEW and WOV
Later in 1941, stations WOV and WNEW traded identities, with the call sign and programming of WOV moving from 1130 to WNEW's 1280 kHz assignment, while WNEW did the reverse, with its call sign and programming moving from 1280 to WOV's 1130 kHz assignment. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the call sign changes on November 12, 1941, and the transfer was finalized on December 1, 1941, consisting of an "exchange of power, call letters and transmitting equipment between WOV and WNEW". Thus, following this exchange, the WOV call letters were now used on the station at 1280 kHz.

Top 40 and R&B
The station was owned by WOV Broadcasting until 1959, when it was sold to Bartell Broadcasters, at which time the station's call sign was changed to WADO. During the day, WADO broadcast Top 40 and R&B music. At night, it ran Italian programming. By 1962, some Spanish programming was run on weekends. By 1963, the only English programming found on WADO was its Sunday religious broadcasts.

Ethnic programming
In 1964, WADO began broadcasting completely in Spanish from 5 a.m. to 8 pm, and Italian from 8 p.m. to Midnight. Overnight, Asian programming was run. By 1970, Spanish had replaced the Asian format.

Musical programming
In terms of music, the station played a blend of Spanish MOR and Spanish oldies. WADO evolved to a Spanish adult contemporary music and oldies format by the mid-1970s. Italian programming was dropped in 1971.

Four full-time Spanish stations battled for listeners during the 1980s: WADO along with WKDM 1380, WSKQ 620, and WJIT 1480. Only WADO remains as a secular Spanish-language station. WKDM airs Spanish Christian radio programming, and the other two have ethnic programs in Russian and Mandarin Chinese.

Ownership changes
The station was sold to Command Broadcasting in 1979. In 1986, Heftel bought the station, and over the next three years, moved to a Spanish language adult contemporary music and talk format. By the early-1990s, WADO was a Spanish language news and talk station. In March 1996, the company bought WPAT and put a Spanish MOR format there, which would later grow to cover additional languages such as Korean. In 1997, Heftel restructured into Hispanic Broadcasters. The company sold WPAT to Multicultural, and acquired WNWK from them]. The brokered shows from WNWK went to WPAT and WCAA went to a Spanish tropical format. WADO remained News and Talk.

In 2002, Hispanic Broadcasting was sold to Univision, making WADO and 96.3 WXNY-FM both Univision-owned and operated stations.

On December 20, 2016, Univision announced that WADO would be one of the charter network affiliates of Univision Deportes Radio, the company's new Spanish-language sports network launched on April 19, 2017.

On June 3, 2022, Univision announced it would sell a package of 18 radio stations across 10 of its markets, primarily AM outlets in large cities (including WADO) and entire clusters in smaller markets such as McAllen, Texas, and Fresno, California, for $60 million to a new company known as Latino Media Network (LMN); Univision proposed to handle operations for a year under agreement before turning over operational control to LMN in the fourth quarter of 2023. The sale was consummated on December 30, 2022.

Power increase
Associated with the "Rio" treaty on AM broadcast standards, the FCC began to entertain the idea of power increases on formerly regional channels like 1280. Application was made to raise day power from 5,000 watts on two towers to 50,000 watts on a four-tower system. This remained on file, and was periodically amended as the ownership changed. In 1998, the FCC granted a construction permit (CP) for daytime operation at 50,000 watts. While planning the rebuilt site, engineering director David Stewart hit on the idea of a night power increase using the proposed four-day towers (the licensed night site was two of those four towers). The night CP was granted for 7,200 watts. The new system went on air in 2000 using a Harris DX-50 transmitter for days and a DX-10 for nights. The phasing and coupling equipment was designed by Ron Rackley at duTreil, Lundin and Rackley.

Throughout his political career, Fifield has been an advocate of voluntary student unionism, as well as allowing women to serve on the front lines of the Australian Defence Force. Along with Andrew Robb, he is the co-publisher of The Party Room, a journal designed to promote new policy discussion within the Federal Coalition. Fifield has opposed federal money being spent on cycling infrastructure, and objected to part of the Rudd government's $42 billion stimulus package being used for new cycleways and home insulation: "I don't think Bradford batts and bike paths is serious economic infrastructure. Call me crazy, but I don't think it is."

Following the 2013 federal election Fifield was appointed to the Abbott Ministry as the Assistant Minister for Social Services and the Manager of Government Business in the Senate.

Fifield replaced the 29th Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, as Minister for Communications, in September 2015. He is currently deeply embroiled in a major Australian political controversy concerning his knowledge of police raids on his Opposition counterpart, Senator Stephen Conroy in the course of an election campaign, over leaks about alleged failures of the current Australian Prime Minister with respect to shortcomings of Australian internet infrastructure when Malcolm Turnbull was Minister for the same portfolio.

Fifield offered his resignation from the frontbench on 22 August 2018, during the events of the Liberal Party of Australia leadership spill. On 28 August he was reappointed to the same portfolio by Turnbull's successor, Scott Morrison.

Permanent Representative to the United Nations
In May 2019, following the Coalition's victory at the 2019 federal election, it was announced that Fifield would be appointed to succeed Gillian Bird as Permanent Representative of Australia to the United Nations. He stepped down from cabinet as a result, and resigned from the Senate on 16 August 2019. On 8 September, the Liberal Party preselected Sarah Henderson, the former MP for Corangamite to be appointed to fill the casual vacancy.

Fifield was appointed on 17 October 2019, replacing Gillian Bird as the new Permanent Representative of Australia to the UN, and presented his credentials to the UN Secretary‑General António Guterres on 22 October 2019.

Controversy
Fifield was accused of "mansplaining" by the Australian senator Katy Gallagher during a debate in a Senate committee hearing regarding social services legislation, which subsequently went viral. Fifield responded, claiming it was hypocritical and sexist to reduce an opponent's statement based on gender. The resulting argument lasted several minutes with both parties accusing the other of inappropriate language unfit for public office. Ultimately, Fifield posited the use of a phrase "womansplaining" in the same context, to which Gallagher replied that mansplaining was "a term that's used".
