Keep – This is kind of a borderline case. WP:NMEDIA wants "a large audience, established broadcast history, or unique programming." I added a note to say that the broadcast history was 1950–1969. I guess keep because the general practice seems to be keep college stations with broadcast licenses. See Category:College radio stations in the Philippines. The fact that it is now defunct wouldn't matter as such. I did add a note to DZRV – Radio Veritas to say that it took over the frequency formerly used by this station. Also, there is a proposal to merge this article with Tiger Radio, but they seem to be different stations operated at different times. The only thing they have in common is being operated by the same university. – Margin1522 (talk) 01:27, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Margin1522. The commonly held view at WP:WPRS is that all licensed stations (especially those which originate their own programming) are inherently notable. The fact this station is no longer on-air is irrelevant -- notability is not temporary. Levdr1lp / talk 12:18, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
