Couldn't find any coverage on web or in news archives. I don't know what else to say, it really seems like there is nothing out there for this topic. Fails WP:GNG. MisterUnit (talk) 18:00, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

delete A visit to the article on one of the two radio stations involved in this shows that this article is extremely misleading. Ed Skutnik made a series of shell corporations for these stations; this is but one of them. Skutnik's article redirects here, but if anything it is he who should have the article. I cannot however finds any evidence for his independent notability. Mangoe (talk) 18:43, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete after I've done some cleanup and conducted a thorough search for reliable sources. This is a short-lived company that held the licenses of two radio stations for a few years. It would make a good paragraph in an Ed Skutnik article but that link redirects to the company article, leaving no obvious merge target. - Dravecky (talk) 02:56, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Redirect to WRSI#History - Considering the company only owned two stations in small Massachusetts towns, it's not surprising there are few sources. However, Google Books found one result here (last result at the bottom) and here (first result at the top) both directories for WIZZ. My own search provided this brief mention and this 1996 news article (the relevant section is at the far bottom) announcing the purchase of WRSI and WIZZ by another company but if you notice, it's a duplicate of the article's current reference. Radio stations rarely receive attention regarding their history much less sometimes for their parent company (the exception is a large corporation like CBS or Clear Channel).
