• • I removed "Dr. Demento." Since this is a list of original programming, it is inappropriate to list Dr. Demento, a show produced at another station by an unrelated company. It hasn't aired on KLSU since the middle of the 1990s. It would also be inappropriate or misleading to list "The World Cafe with David Dye" or the "Weekly Top-ten with Jed the Fish" or what have you for the same reasons.
  • I suggest adding: "Combat Rock", "Westerberg High", "The Mystery Machine", "The New Style", "Soul Glow", "The LSU Sports Show", "The Gothic and Industrial Show" "The Spoken Word"(yes, KLSU had one too, had nothing to do with WRKFs) "The Truer Sound", "The Request Show." If you want to get into historical drives, you can also dig way back for "The Afternoon Drive with Zippy the Wonder Chicken" or "Vlad the Impaler" - just suggestions. This is yo page.

• • I redirected "KLSU-FM" to here. It was shorter and had less activity than this page. Added Baton-Rouge Radio Stations link - ganked from "KLSU-FM" - to bottom.

• • I removed "Its transmitter, like that of KBRH (whose studio is located on the east side,) is on the west side of the river." This is not accurate; KLSU's transmitter and tower are on the LSU Campus according to the FCC database and KLSU's own website.

That's well and good. Two more points:

• • Specialty programming is not the norm. If you have a 6-9 AM shift, you are not a specialty show. Regular jocks who play music of the standard KLSU format should not be singled out as a specialty show or host. You may call your shift something cute, but its not a show in the way The Jack Benny Program, Dr. Demento, The Savage Nation or All Things Considered are shows (to use well known, non-KLSU examples).

• • The shows that were listed originally were those that have been on for years, or in Zia's case, decades. An encyclopedia should give a glimpse into what the station is about, not a complete history from start to finish. Very few radio stations are represented comprehensively on Wikipedia.
