Talk:KABC-TV

message: I took the liberty to fix-up the KABC-TV page, making it a bit more easier to read.  What I did is that I put in the news personalities and newscast times into the News programming, and seperated the non-news programs into a newly-created seperate section.

message: so, there's been some back and forth the last couple of days - is KABC located in glendale, or los angeles? clearly, the headquarters appear to have moved to glendale. however, the city of record with the FCC - in ABC's statement of ownership filed as recently as october 1, 2007 - is listed as los angeles. i'll let the policy wonks fight it out from here.

replies: text: The station studio is in Glendale, their antenna tower is on Mount Wilson near Pasadena and its signal is said to cover a 90 mile-radius range. The city of license is (and does represent) Los Angeles, but KABC is a regional not limited to local station. KABC on cable channel 10 in the High Desert (i.e. Yucca Valley) and low-power transmitter K67AO channel 12 in Palmdale. It replaced an earlier ABC affiliate station KVVT? based in Lancaster and Victorville in the early 1990s. KABC was on over-air channel 22 in the Palm Springs area until the digital conversion occurred last February. KABC digital transmitters is not on cable in Hemet nor Palm Desert, due to FCC regulations preferred local ABC affiliate KESQ-TV channel 3 and the purpose is for cable subscribers to test out the digital converter boxes. KABC could well have a focus not limited to Los Angeles, but the whole "Southland" to encompass nearby areas like Orange County and the Inland Empire region. + 71.102.3.86 (talk) 03:29, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to a 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:NLIST 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) 20:05, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material 

message: Per WP:LISTPEOPLE, a list of names should not be included in the article unless there are third-party sources to warrant doing so.  Just because someone works somewhere does not mean it is relevant to the article; that is what the sources show, relevance.  Anything else is irrelevant to the article.  - Aoidh (talk) 06:04, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

message: In addition to the Disney-owned TV station, which includes award-winning programming on its schedule such as Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, hosted by Bob Goeb. it also has two sister radio stations. One is a standalone children's pop music 24/7 station through KDIS, while the other is a standalone sports network through KSPN. The former is locally-based as the local RD station is considered the flagship of the network while the latter is the Los Angeles and West Coast O&O flagship of the ESPN Radio network.
It should mention ONLY Television sister stations. Radio stations can still me mentioned in the info box. ACMEWikiNet (talk) 12:31, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

message: I see there is some disagreement about whether this article needs a copy edit tag. I made a few changes, and I'm sure another editor could find a thing or two to change as well, but overall it looks to be in good shape. I don't believe that the presence of a few minor errors in an article merits the addition of a tag; if that were the case, essentially every article on Wikipedia would earn the tag, and it would not be very useful. Accordingly, I am removing the tag. Regards, Tdslk (talk) 22:29, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

message: KABC-TV's news department has no notability outside of the station itself. There are no references here, and no reason for a standalone page. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:01, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
