Completely unsourced article about a broadcasting company, not making any claim to passing WP:NCORP. The company operates non-notable digital services that were offered solely on digital subchannels and the internet, so there can be no automatic presumption of notability on WP:BCAST grounds in the absence of any reliable source coverage about it in real media. I can easily find verification of this company's existence in press releases and other primary sources that aren't support for notability, but I can find absolutely no coverage about it in real media independent of itself for the purposes of getting it over WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH -- but the notability test for companies is the reception of media coverage about their business activities, not just the ability to verify that they exist(ed?). In truth, I'd have speedied this for not even containing a properly sourced notability claim in the first place, but it's been flying under the radar for over a decade and I don't feel comfortable arbitrarily speedying an article that's been around for that long.
