# Talk:WIAT

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) 22:10, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

What happened to the Soul of the South Network launching Memorial Day 2012 on 42.2?  Did this happen or not?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.88.178.21 (talk) 09:24, 2 June 2012 (UTC) 

WIAT is launching their new on-air look on Saturday, April 21, 2018. This graphics and logo transition will be in full effect Monday, April 23, 2018. Previously, their on-air identity was a red, grey and black WIAT CBS 42 logo. The digital presence has already transitioned away from WIAT, beginning with the url change from wiat.com back to cbs42.com in March of 2018. After April 23, the station will present on-air and online as CBS 42, with a blue and white CBS 42 logo replacing the red. All visual representation of WIAT will end except for in the standard AP style on digital news articles. A new graphics package featuring bright hues of blue and yellow gold will replace the red, grey and occasional blue previously seen on air. The new official logo for the station in digital format can be found here: https://media.wiat.com/nxs-wiattv-media-us-east-1/photo/2018/04/16/CBS-42_1_color_1523874126780_39967311_ver1.0.png.
