... that half the students of Northern Arizona University left for Christmas early after campus radio station KNAU was pranked? Source: https://newspaperarchive.com/other-articles-clipping-mar-10-1970-3204541/
- ALT1: ... that at one stroke in 1983, Arizona radio station KNAU switched from 10 watts of power to 100,000 watts? Source: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/101145777/radio-knau-a-ticket-to-good-listening/
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Melody (Skoryk)
- Comment: 5x 1412 -> 7112 not being caught by DYKcheck. ALT0 is lovely but a bit bait-and-switch on the topic as that KNAU isn't today's. This article required a lot of fixing. (If all my pending DYKs are approved and go in order, this would be #500)
