thread_title:  Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material 

message: Hello, I have removed the staff and former staff that is/was not notable. In order for lists of people be included, they must meet the criteria listed at WP:LISTPEOPLE. This isn't the first station article this has been discussed on, and articles have been protected to prevent these additions, or the editors in question blocked when they persistently continue to reinsert inappropriate material. If a name is included in the article in this way, it has to show that it's relevant to the subject by meeting WP:LISTPEOPLE. Just because a station lists its employees doesn't mean Wikipedia needs to as well, and other station articles needing similar cleanup doesn't mean this one doesn't need to be cleaned up, because whenever it's actually discussed on a station article, the end result is the same; the names that don't meet WP:LISTPEOPLE are removed. Wikipedia is also not a directory.

Subject: RE: fox subchannel in HD
Dear Viewer,
We've investigated the possibility of doing just that.  It's very
difficult to provide both CBS and FOX in high definition at the same
time.  One company has shown us equipment that can do it, and we're now
in talks with FOX to see if they will allow it.

Subject: fox subchannel in HD
I was reading about digital subchannels and was wondering if you plan
to broadcast fox21 in HD?
I know that CBS uses 1080i and fox uses 720p which is convenient
because apparently you can allocate 1080i (11 Mbit/s) and 720p (8
Mbit/s) subchannel on the same channel.
See Digital_subchannel#Technical_considerations for allocation possibilities. I think this information about FOX 21 in HD could be worked in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.82.183.15 (talk) 15:29, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed the "number one Fox affiliate" statement, even though the writer lists Nielsen as its source. While the station puts that on their billboards (and cites Nielsen in very small type), WCCB didn't respond to my request for clarifying details (Number one for network programming? all day?) and there's nothing on the publicly available portions of the nielsenmedia.com Website to corroborate this claim. Furthermore, at least one other Fox affiliate makes the same statement. Even if WCCB is the #1 Fox affiliate in America, they're either the third- or fourth-highest-rated station in Charlotte (depending on where WCNC is). JTRH 00:34, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

message: This article has stated for years that the call letters stand for "Charlotte Cy Bahakel." However, the WCCB calls were previously used on a station in Montgomery, Alabama (now WNCF) which Bahakel eventually bought. He then changed that station's calls and moved the WCCB calls to his new acquisition in Charlotte. So it sounds to me like a coincidence, if not a retronym, that the calls of the Charlotte station happen to include the initials of the city of license and the original owner.

There was (and remains) concern that these slogans are entirely fictitious, and being added to disrupt the quality of television show pages; at best, they are unsourced and unlikely. To prevent the disruption, the article was temporarily semi-protected.  When possible, we prefer to target just the individual "offender", but, in this case, the person changes IP addresses regularly, and, after several months of the same behavior, has never once communicated with other editors.  Note that once you become autoconfirmed (10 edits to regular pages and 4 days), you'll be able to edit it directly; alternatively, if you want to request an edit right now, you can do so here, on the talk page; finally, the protection will end in about 20 hours, so everyone will be able to edit it then.

WCTX, WTNH and LIN TV have succeeded in removing WWOR 9 from New Haven cable systems (not AT&T) in an effort to "New ENglandize" CT and bring it away from New York City, of whose metro region it is a part of.  They are even pushing to stop NYC channels from being local in Fairfield County, with the petty argument that NYC news does not cover CT enough.
