Wikipedia:Naming conventions (broadcasting)#North America seems to be the relevant guideline, but it doesn't seem to deal with the very common situation of several different stations being well known by the same callsign at different times in recent history.
At the risk of encouraging
instruction creep, we should IMO better document and formalise our current practice. At the very least, the official guideline should point to the more detailed WikiProject guideline, if the WikiProject guideline is to be accepted as the authority in practice.
But established practice does seem to support creating a DAB for KLGO as suggested above. No member of the (seemingly quite active) WikiProject has yet commented on this RM so far as I can see, although it does appear on their article alerts list.
Relisting to seek input from the WikiProject, and also to add the third move as suggested above.
I'm getting the moves underway right now. I've taken KLGO to KTAE (AM) per the naming conventions, since there's more than one article on the dab page already.

Hi, I've had a look at your request. The article is about 2 stations, which I presume are the AM and FM stations (please correct me if I'm wrong, I know nothing about radio). That would make "KJFK", rather than "KJFK (AM)" the most natural title. But "KJFK" is already a redirect to JFK airport because of its ICAO code, and rightly so. What I don't understand is why you're asking for "(AM)" rather than something like "(radio)", given that the article includes the FM station.

Support The AM has the notability claim and the article. The FM has no standalone notability as it's only been a redirect to other places.
