3TV recently 


### Criticism
3TV's news production have often been criticized by other media professionals in Phoenix as shallow, with its criteria of selecting news personalities being perceived as placing looks above all else. Scenes of 3TV news anchors smiling or making light of serious news such as murders are often ridiculed.
However, 3TV's special reports on certain issues do, from time to time, show a level of professional quality that is worthy of awards.

I have moved this subsection to the talk page because, while I agree with the criticism and consider it to be truthful, it is opinion. The statements cite no references and so, fail WP:V. Because I believe the statements to be truthful and fixable with citations, I do not consider outright deletion to be appropriate. I do question, however the "3TV recently" text; was that meant as a section header, or was it a typo? dhett (talk • contribs) 22:13, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

This proposed deal involves Time inc's assets and Meredith's assets coming into one entity. As of  November 2017 the Koch Brothers has been named as people involved in the deal. Its a pending deal that affects Meredith owned stations.

Image:Album 3tv icon.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

An employees being listed on the article isn't appropriate unless each name on the list meets WP:LISTPEOPLE.  That way we ensure that content in the article is relevant to the subject, as determined by reliable sources, and not just a random, undue listing of employees. - Aoidh (talk) 16:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

The staff I've posted were taken from the [website]. I tried to verify what timeslot they were on. LockeCole (talk) 21:46, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
Simply taking the names off of the station's website doesn't mean they should be listed; just because they work somewhere doesn't mean they need to be mentioned on an encyclopedia article about that subject. If a name doesn't meet WP:LISTPEOPLE, it doesn't belong in such a list of names. - Aoidh (talk) 23:35, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello Sammi Brie, I'll be taking up the review for this nomination and will present it to you shortly. I hope you will find my feedback to be helpful. Tayi Arajakate Talk 18:27, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
Sammi Brie, other than a couple issues, the nomination is pretty much a good article. I'll promote it once the issues are fixed, good work on it. Tayi Arajakate Talk 07:18, 15 July 2021 (UTC)


#### Comments
Ref 3 links to the news piece of ref 11.
LLC probably doesn't need to be wikilinked.
Ref 56 should be marked as dead instead of live.
External links in the rebroadcasters list should be removed. The list itself should be cited to either a single reference or removed altogether.
Tayi Arajakate, I have fixed 1 through 3. #4 is trickier because the US FCC has not updated a list (Input Channels for TV Translator Stations) that could be cited on this topic since 2017, and it is majorly out of date due to a repack of television stations (2016 United States wireless spectrum auction) and the final shut-off of low-power analog TV stations in the US (this week). There is no list to cite these days. I actually emailed the FCC on having that list updated last week and have not heard back. It's generally been the standard in this type of page to have the links to the FCC record (generated by a template, {{FCC-LMS-Facility}}) in this section of the article. It could be worse; this used to be a {{hidden}} box, which is now generally verboten for accessibility reasons. I get the EL issue but, right now, there is no alternative until the FCC updates that list, and that is calling for a larger change in our topic area. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:03, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
Sammi Brie, in that case maybe those external links can instead be bundled together in a reference? They could probably remain as a primary source for the time being. Tayi Arajakate Talk 18:47, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
Tayi Arajakate, I've done that for now. I may open a discussion about this to figure out what the right course of action is. This topic area is notorious for sometimes being out of line with encyclopedic policies and I've been strenuously working to get it there. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:13, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
