Talk:WRDC

message: The section on NBC affiliate history mentions that WRDU frequently pre-empted NBC programming while making no mention of the problems they originally had with WTVD being granted first refusal on NBC programming, thus depriving WRDU of more popular NBC shows.  There was a precedent-setting lawsuit or petition before the FCC (I don't know the exact details) which resulted in WRDU being freed from their second-class NBC affiliate status.  It would be nice if someone who knew the details could clarify this bit of history.
Update: I see it's been added (echoing what's on the WTVD page) that WTVD retained its dual affiliation until 1971.  Using that date I've been able to find someone else's less-than-definitive recollection (btw I used a search on 1971 WTVD WRDU FCC to look at the cached version of that link rather than creating an account at that site) that WRDU petitioned the FCC to mandate that networks have exclusive affiliation with one station in markets with more three commercial stations.

message: That's odd, you were a employee at a NBC affilate and then quit in 1975?, It looks like you did not want to become general manager of PBS station, WUNC-FM in Chapel Hill for no reason, too bad, WUNC does not use so much transmitters, but I wish you would had programmed WUNC as a classical station.

message: 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) 02:01, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

message: The article describes WLFL as the "senior partner" in the relationship with WRDC, and applies the same term to the WJZY/WMYT duopoly in Charlotte. I know what the article's describing (WLFL's owner first operated WRDC through an LMA, and then purchased the station outright), but I'm not sure "senior partner" is the applicable term.

message: :The following discussion is an archived discussion of a  
Merge Proposal and / or Redirect. 
Please do not modify it. </br> 
The result of the request for the Proposed Merger of {requested article} into this talk page's article was: 
Merger was completed to target's history section per CONSENSUS. Supporters have better argument consistent with precedent and the Manual of Style; additionally, one oppose appears to be a single-purpose account, which drastically reduces it's weight.</br>—     —     —     —     —
WNAO-TV should be merged into WRDC, as content from the former article has been inserted into the latter. Even though they are separate stations from a licensing standpoint, they have a combined rich history. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 17:13, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
