# Talk:WSVN

About a month ago Adelphia cut the signal for WSVN on channel 22 where I  live, replacing it with a loop of their (utterly unwatchable) ads for Video on Demand. Who wants to watch these commercials over and over and over again?! Or is this a placeholder for some other channel that they might put on here? Mattderojas 01:15, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

There seems to be debate between CFIF (talk · contribs) and Leonard23 (talk · contribs) on what the logo in the infobox should be.  I'm neutral on this, but of the two images (Image:WHDH-WSVN.png and Image:WSVN.png), which one is the most proper?  Nobody wants a revert war, and that seems to be where we're headed.  --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 16:55, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

There won't be a revert war.  I'm about to report CFIF to an administrator for vandalism. Leonard23 12:41, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Anyone remember what the controversy was with her back around 1990 or therebouts? I was young, but recall her saying or doing something (maybe outside of work) that got the word around in the South Florida area.
Yes.  That was about when I got my EMT license and was working on my paramedic certification.  She had a rather embarrassing transport to a local South Florida hospital with a foreign object inserted into a particular orifice that she was unable to retrieve for herself.  Pictures of the x-ray circulated rapidly and gave her a joking middle name of "Does it".  This was way before HIPAA.
YEssss, I remember too "bang the boss" Sally. She never sat down the same again. It was Baptist Hospital if I remember. She was also dating Ansin, the Channel 7 boss, while both were married.

Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information."  As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.
If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable.  Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 01:49, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on WSVN. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Hey @Nathan Obral, I made a script which semi-automates spot checking from newspapers.com and tested it out on this article. It flagged the following issues:
[26]: Doesn't mention the CLU
[27]: Doesn't mention the ACLU
[36a]: Doesn't support that it was forced to convert to an independent
[66]: Doesn't support that the sole purpose of the committee's organization was to investigate the practices of federal regulatory agencies
[67]: Says that Doerfer disclosed while being "questioned", not that it was specifically a "cross-examination". It also does not explicitly say that "favortism" was involved
[68]: "Ex-prober" could imply he left, but it is certainly never stated that he was "fired"
[70]: It doesn't state that Whiteside’s payment occurred before Mack became a commissioner. It also doesn't explicitly say that Whiteside’s payment enabled Mack to rule in favor of the airline.
[71]: Issue with the prose here: "These hearings were conducted Mack had resigned under pressure from President Eisenhower"
[81a]: Doesn't support that he was appointed to review all disputed or contested licenses
[94]: 3.5 million not 3.4
[101]: only mentions a stock registration and public offering, not an outright sale
[112]: Says there is no chance that he could be mistaken for WCKT's news anchors
[131]: Doesn't support that it was specifically his friendly demeanor
[137]: I believe it should be 1961, not 1962
[156]: Doesn't support his children's show appearence
[163]: "South Florida" would be a bit more accurate than "Miami"
[164]: I think it should be "September 2" not the 7th. I also doesn't support that it was specifically the Jungle Jim "serial" rather than other old Jungle movies.
[175]: Doesn't support Jan 19
[185a]: I think the date should be July 18 per "a Miami resident who complained that on July 18 WCKT began televising...". Also I don't think it says that it was definitely "extra" commercials, rather than just a timing error.
[199]: I believe it says Jan 26 was the date he started anchoring the noon news
[208]: Should be "when I left Cuba", it says it was aired in October, and I don't see where it supports that he joined in 1982
[214a]: Doesn't support "at both 6 p.m. and 11 p.m., often finishing in third place after WTVJ and WPLG"
[220]: It was called "Celebrate South Florida's Heritate" not "Celebrating South Florida"
[237]: I don't see where the 25 April date is supported
[270a]: Doesn't mention Lewis at all
[288]: "Quietly" is not supported
[290]: Doesn't mention negotiations with Salomon
[296]: It just says that Leider offered Joel Cheatwood an opportunity to leave, not "Ansin and Leider"
[298]: It calls him the "Program Director" rather than the "Operations Manager"
[299]: Doesn't mention the name "Today in Florida". It seems to be missing some other details of the statement too.[303]: Doesn't support "extensively"
[302b]: I don't see where it supports that it was a "relatively easy process"
[315a]: Doesn't mention WPLG
I thought I would ping these over to you as I think you will do a way better job of fixing them than I would. I manually reviewed each one, but apologies if I made some silly mistakes. I suspect there are some non-issues. IAWW (talk) 09:11, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

@It is a wonderful world: thank you for the additional spot check. Will be going over these the next few days. :) Nathan Obral • he/him/🦝 • t • c • 15:58, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
