KXBR (defunct)
- ... that in a 1989 rent dispute, landowner Lois DeClue used a bulldozer to bury the transmitter building for Greenfield, Missouri, radio station KXBR in six feet of dirt? Source: "A property owner forced KXBR/Greenfield, MO to go dark Sunday night (7/9) by using a bulldozer to barricade the transmitter shed door with large tree trunks, and then burying the structure under six feet of dirt." (page 32)

- Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
- Template:Ping I did fix the one citation that still had mdy format (I use dmy for all references personally; that was the last holdover from the existing stub.) My big problem is I don't have a newspapers.com subscription and have been entirely reliant on OCR text. I can't come into compliance without a subscription and would like guidance as to how I may do so. As to the inclusion of the locale in the DYK hook, it is there because it disambiguates from the current KXBR which is in Minnesota. Speaking of which, the (defunct) disambiguator is far and away the common for these articles, looking through Category:Defunct radio stations in the United States which has 103 articles using it. This may be a good MOS question for an RfC or WikiProject Radio Stations, but this is not the venue for a change that would affect so many articles. Raymie (t • c) 06:29, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- Template:Ping You can apply for a Newspapers.com subscription through The Wikipedia Library, but I can waive the requirement for now. I'll also waive the article title suggestion, as I didn't realize how many articles are breaking the normal conventions for disambiguation...it definitely needs to be addressed at the project level. I still think the hook is too long to really grab readers, which would be a shame given the subject matter; confusion with the KXBR in Minnesota wouldn't really be of relevance for a DYK hook, either.
