message: I'd like to suggest that the former newscasters list be replaced with Notable newscasters. It seems that the list continues to grow seeing how there have been hundreds of former newscasters at the station. I don't see the point to listing them as has been done.

message: I've added use rationale to all the logo images.  Hopefully this will keep the copyright Bots off of our backs and stop them from zapping images.  --Brownings (talk) 00:56, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I just cut everyone out of the alumni section that does not have their own Wikipedia page or have a reference to establish their notability.  In the case of this article, that left no one left, so I removed the whole section.  This is the current consensus procedure, based on discussions at WP:WikiProject Television Stations and at the Village Pump. The rationales are as follows:
#Most importantly, per WP:NOT, 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.  
#Secondarily, per WP:V, we cannot include information that is not verifiable and sourced.  I'm not certain how it would even be possible to source this information.
#Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.
#Per WP:NLIST, lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article. 
All of the people with their own pages are notable enough to appear on this list.  However, if you look at pages 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 info, 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).
