... that Tennessee radio station WJBE was the first of three owned by singer James Brown? Source: Various
- ALT1: ... that in the 1960s, Tennessee had a radio station named for the "Wonderful Gay Way"? Source: [1]
- Reviewed: Panorama (German television)
- Comment: A somewhat similar hook fact ran for WJBE-FM in 2008...but the actual subject of the article, an FM station in Alabama, was unrelated! (Wikipedia:Recent additions/2008/December) Now the actual station has been written up.

The article's easily long enough and new enough, written very neutrally and carefully in an encyclopaedic style, meticulously sourced. No copyvio. Both hooks are interesting, short enough, and mentioned in the article with inline citations. I have a small personal preference for ALT1: the first hook made me want to click on the James Brown link, while ALT1 makes me want to click on the radio station link. QPQ done. This is good to go. Great work! MartinPoulter (talk) 16:49, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
