# Talk:WLIO

Whereas in the past, WBOH operated semi-independently, what's left of it (West Central Ohio CW) is a digital sub-channel of WLIO. While some digital subchannels have their own articles, I do not believe that it is justified in this case. In my opinion, the WBOH article could be transformed into a subsection of the WLIO article. --AlexDW 16:35, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

FCC records do not show virtual channel 8 for this station, but virtual channel 35. (For WOHL-CD, they show no virtual channel.) Added "citation needed" tag to body. --Chaswmsday (talk) 17:31, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
Stations with similar mismatches: WOAY-TV, KVIQ, KCVU/KBVU.
See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television Stations#Dubious virtual channels & odd branding. --Chaswmsday (talk) 15:45, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorry this took a bit, but I did promise I'd hit this one up. Will give a review hopefully very soon. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 18:14, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
@Sammi Brie:


### Six GA Criteria
1. Article is well-written. Very minimal mistakes if any at all.
2. No OR, all info is cited in the article.
3. Coverage is broad in depth and focus. Shows multiple aspects of the subject.
4. Article appears neutral, and does not appear to hold a significantly negative nor positive stance on the subject.
5. Article appears stable. Does not appear to have had any major vandalism occur.
6. Article uses no fair use files.


### Lead
"In 2009, Block acquired WOHL and the Fox, ABC, and CBS affiliations in the market" I'm very confused what this sentence means.
WOHL (Fox) and a bunch of affiliated low-power TV stations (ABC, CBS) were bought all at once. With digital, the whole grouping of channels was altered anyway, but in the transaction Block acquired the network affiliations aforementioned. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 00:34, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
@Sammi Brie maybe clarify the wording to "affiliated stations" for clarity? I feel right now it may come off a bit confusing.  Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 03:20, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
@Pokelego999 They then moved the affiliations around (to wit: Fox from WOHL to WLIO). That'd be more confusing. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 03:35, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
@Sammi Brie I am confused on how it would be. Could you elaborate?  Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 03:39, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
@Pokelego999 I don't want to bring in two other stations into the lead section, which I think would be more confusing to average readers. (They've since been redeployed to areas north and south of Lima.) Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 04:24, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
@Sammi Brie It should be fine then. Happy to pass! Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 16:01, 21 April 2025 (UTC)


### History
-Looks good


### News operation and subchannels
-Is there any reason only two people are listed?

Because they are the only notable ones with articles. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 00:33, 21 April 2025 (UTC)


### Overall
-Looks solid. Not much more to say, it's very well done coverage and prose wise.


### Spotcheck
-Reviewed 14 random sources from the article: 48, 32, 45, 47, 16, 1, 54, 27, 33, 12, 42, 36, 35, 28. 
Can't check 16, 33 but assuming good faith. What is the reliability of RabbitEars? Source 28 also does not give any of the specified info on Bratton, only stating he has been arrested and associated information. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 20:21, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

@Pokelego999: Ref 28 is a multipage clipping, and the second page contains the material in question. For RabbitEars, see Talk:KLKN/GA1. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 00:36, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
@Sammi Brie seems to check out alright. Should be good to go.  Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 03:20, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Can someone explain to me about the structure of this paragraph? It was simply, I didn't understand what was mentioned. --- "However, financial issues at WOHL and a desire for carriage on a full-power station with a larger coverage area led Fox to consider moving its affiliation to WLIO as early as late 2007".
