KRBE on Wikipedia

Can someone with knowledge on KRBE’s history go to Wikipedia and correct the citations by adding sources?
I noticed numerous inaccurate information on Wikipedia in the section titled:
Rivalry with KKBQ (1982–90)
Quoting what the article says:
“In late 1982, Top 40 station KKBQ moved from AM 790 to FM 92.9 with great success. To counter them, KRBE returned to its Top 40 format as "Hot Hits 104 KRBE" in mid-summer of 1985. Not too long after, KRBE dropped the "Hot Hits" slogan to become "Power 104", and both stations competed head to head throughout the remainder of the 1980s. In November 1986, Dallas-based Susquehanna Radio purchased KRBE and KENR (now known as KNTH).”

To my knowledge, KRBE was an AC format from 1982 to 1984. In August of 1984 KRBE returned to top 40 under PD Paul Christy.
Thanks for your help guys
 
Don't know how to add sources to Wikipedia.
And it's Wikipedia, not a thesis essay.

It's ridiculously easy to add or subtract anything from a Wikipedia entry. I've corrected several items over the years, and I'm just a retired copy editor, not a recognized authority or published author or university professor or anything else that would give me any instant credibility. I look at the history of the articles with incorrect info and find that, often, that info had itself been added to the articles by other "anybodies," except those guys either didn't know their topic or were deliberately vandalizing the articles. Much of the time, blatant vandalism (of the "baba booey" variety courtesy of the lower life forms who worship Howard Stern) is reversed within hours or days, but if the alterations are credible looking and well worded, they can linger for years. Another reason NEVER to accept what you see on Wikipedia as absolute truth.
 
I believe Glenn Beck was a morning show host at KRBE in the late 80s/early 90s.

I only go back as far as the Sam Malone days in the late 90s.
 
One time someone said KRBE on Wikipedia was a hot a/c and when I tried to change it I was blocked.
