# Talk:KYUR

I have moved this article back to KIMO from KIMO-TV. Consensus on both WP:NC#Broadcasting and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations#Article_names is that the article name should reflect the actual call letters of the TV station. As can be seen here: [1] the call letters for this station are in fact KIMO. Any concerns regarding this topic would be best addressed here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations.

I thought that since each of the stations has their own history, it would be best to split up the three stations into their own articles. I have created the KATN and KJUD pages, also adding the appropriate infoboxes and categories.

I would think that Ty Hardt would qualify, but I honestly don't know that much about him, either while at the station or the rest of his career.  Isn't he currently working for Mark Begich?
I'll ask the same question I asked at KTUU's talk page.  Is this section supposed to be strictly for "news" personalities?  If not, I think that Pastor Norman Jones was notable for his lengthy tenure on the station.  For the unfamiliar, Jones was the pastor of Bethel Chapel, "in Mountain View, a suburb of Anchorage," as the anonymous booth announcer would intone.  Jones had a daily half-hour program which aired for longer than any of us will spend in Hell, or so it seemed at the time.  A search of the Anchorage Daily News archives reveals: The Rev. Norman Louis Jones, 71, died May 27 (1993) at his Anchorage home.  I don't remember when he left the airwaves, but I think it was a few years before that.RadioKAOS (talk) 00:22, 27 October 2011 (UTC)


### Postscript, years later
So instead of mentioning individuals who actually had something to do with this station's success or history, such as Herb Shaindlin, John Vallentine or Cindy Suryan (or even folks like Cary Carrigan), the section called "Notable former on-air staff" has been reduced to an WP:INDISCRIMINATE listing of people who had next to zero to do with the station's history but happen to have Wikipedia articles.  In other words, the only context needing satisfied is a strictly self-serving Wikipedian context, and that the station's history matters zero to this context.  This same thing happened with the other stations in town: Sarah Palin's cup of coffee or two at a station decades before she became famous is somehow important to the station's history, but not people who were at those stations for decades and were awarded by the Alaska Broadcaster's Association and similar organizations for that work.  To that, I'm calling bullshit.  The worst thing is that this was the result of "consensus", which must have been cooked up in the back room of a Denny's restaurant somewhere, because I've yet to find any evidence that it was ever discussed on THIS WEBSITE before it was implemented.  I haven't even mentioned the station's news director promoting herself, apart from placing {{Connected contributor}} on the top of this talk page.

There's been a blatant WP:OWN problem for a long time as it concerns WP:TVS participants.  Here's one more example.  We continue to tell people that we're a collaborative environment.  Yet here, are we assuming that past collaborators on this article aren't still watching it and may wish to offer input ahead of something as important as a GA nomination, or are we treating those editors as if they don't matter?  That's a pretty black-and-white question without a whole lot of middle ground.  Anyway, back to collaboration, I have a bunch of photos directly related to this topic. There's a pretty clear message being spoken with this nomination and the activity preceding it: if you don't want collaborators, you don't want these photos.  Making matters worse, this WP:OWN problem extends to sister projects, specifically messing with other editor's contributions and replacing actual information with an expectation for readers to click on a Wikipedia article which says zero about the same subject matter.
