thread_title:  On the sex life of Rupert Murdoch 

message: Other than the fact that both networks launched during the switches and that both networks affiliated with some stations that were affected by this event, I don't see any connection with the subject of the article. Do any of you feel that this section should be eliminated? Freshh (talk) 20:33, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: A discussion about the UPN/ WB launches may be useful, since it discusses what happened to those former Fox stations that lost Fox to New World. Lets keep it. Though I see it can be trimmed. Fairly OddParents Freak (Fairlyoddparents1234)  T | C Member: WP:TVS  15:22, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  The new fifth and sixth networks 

message: There is an information density problem here.
There is so much information being presented, lots of "ironically" and ties to the present where they don't make sense, and so much information for the average reader that they get lost. Additionally, the article is very, very long.
A while back I started working on streamlining the article, but I abandoned it and it's probably mostly out of date. You can see it at User:Raymie/Big Switch.
Adding the UPN and WB situation to this article was a mistake; only in a few markets did it affect the Fox switches (e.g. Detroit, where WKBD turned down the Fox network). Raymie (t • c) 02:23, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. This article is over 17,000 words. That seems excessive. RobertM525 (talk) 23:54, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too much going on 

message: I have just placed on my sandbox page a list of every station that changed affiliation as a direct result of the switches, as well as a list of outlets that were part of the holding companies Fox invested in that Fox chose not to include. The chart itself is a little ragged, but it's a good start toward what I hope will be a finished product acceptable to go into Wikipedia.
Another idea is for a realignment page covering the period between this realignment and the one in 2006. Content would include the affiliation changes for CBS in Jacksonville and NBC in the San Francisco Bay Area, how hundreds of independent stations joined two new networks en masse, and the switch of many Sinclair Broadcast Group stations from UPN to the WB. - Desmond Hobson (talk) 23:44, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I've got it. maybe we should split everything that is related to fox sports from this article and turn it all into a new one. I know this has something to do with the realignment and I love sports too, but maybe the NFL's effect on these events can be separate so that if someone wants to read a specific topic without the article changing it to another one and then back and the reader doesn't remember what happened before, we could do that instead because I think this is going to be more reasonable for everyone. I also support the change of the name from 1994 to 1994-1996.2604:6000:130F:47A1:7896:33D5:2736:F2D0 (talk) 14:57, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

message: There are certain instances in which the Oxford comma is not included, like in this: "(CBS, NBC, and ABC)". As such, the Oxford comma needs to be added in more of these sentences. --TheLennyGriffinFan1994 (talk) 04:22, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requesting Oxford comma 

message: Has anyone on Wikipedia thought about creating an article on the 1992 affiliation switch that has affected both the Green Bay, Wisconsin and Marquette, Michigan markets simultaneously back in 1992?
Here's a table I created for the article:
Station	Market              	Channel	Affiliation 
(pre-1992)	Affiliation 
(post-1992)
WBAY-TV	Green Bay, Wisconsin	2      	CBS        	ABC
WFRV-TV	Green Bay, Wisconsin	5      	ABC        	CBS
WGBA-TV	Green Bay, Wisconsin	26     	Independent	Fox
WXGZ-TV	Green Bay, Wisconsin	32     	Fox        	dark
WJMN-TV	Marquette, Michigan 	3      	ABC        	CBS
WLUC-TV	Marquette, Michigan 	6      	CBS/NBC    	ABC/NBC/Fox
