The record

Notes

Focal entity of this package. Radio show recorded as Work/other per schema (no radio-show subtype exists). No direct Work-to-host edges exist in the schema's relationship matrix; host linkage runs through the WWPR-FM hosted edges and the hosts' iHeartMedia affiliations. Syndication (Premiere Networks) and the Radio Hall of Fame induction are carried as claims only — no valid edge type exists for Work->Organization (see manifest notes).
