Talk:WCAU

message: The page describes WCAU and KYW as being in "spirited" competition with WCAU coming out on top.  As a resident of Philadelphia, I question this assertion.  Based on polls I've seen and just based on my general impression, most watch Channel 6 (KYW) and not 10 (WCAU).  I leave correcting this error to the Wikipedia regulars.
:well all i can say is that if you were watch 6, and i am guessing action news, you wernt watching kyw. 
CBS did not merge with Westinghouse in 1994; that came later in 1995-6.  See KYW-TV for the correct order of events.
Also, the title of this article is incorrect.  The station's callsign is WCAU, not WCAU-TV.  According to the FCC database, WCAU-TV became WCAU on 10/06/1995, so it happened under NBC ownership.  18.26.0.18 00:22, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*Their is nothing to discuss, their has been a newer extensive article on the subject, that article has not been given due considertion by either users or admins, "establishment", the subject now meets that creteria that mutt and his minons, who have shown threw their edits a massive anti-Philadelphia bias,  would list as a creditable person, so their is no reason to de link or speedy the subject in question, and an perosn that does i will consider a vandal or an admin who is abusing their privildges, and re link and recreat the article. But being that i am dealing with the "establishment" , who only seem to work in their best intrests and not in the best intrest of the regular credible user, or in the protection of this site as a vaid source of information of the web, as it is becoming more of a soure wikipedia needs to evolve and reform. As far as i am concerned this discussion is over.  --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 08:23, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: I miss those days of WCAU as CBS. Those were the good old days. My mother was still with us and we were happy. If you have any videos of those good times please contact me! I want to relive those days. MrPhillyTV 18:09, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

message: According to the WTVJ and/or WFOR articles, the deal in which CBS divested WCAU also involved the 2 Miami O&O's swapping dial positions and transmitter facilities...Ranma9617 00:42, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Divesture to NBC 

message: This article has been moved from WCAU-TV to WCAU several times lately.  Seems as though that the people that move to WCAU believe article names are dependent on FCC call letters, with the move-backs to WCAU-TV believing that all of these articles need suffixes.  Who is correct and where does it say so? --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 23:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There seems to be an slow, ongoing "move war" (as I call it) that keeps moving this article from WCAU-TV to WCAU back to WCAU-TV back to WCAU, etc.  Should we protect from page moves just to enforce that this page is supposed to be WCAU and not WCAU-TV?  And the most recent move spread itself to essentially every TV station article in the wiki...  this is going to take a while to take care of.  Apologies for the long comment, but I have to mention this. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 01:11, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I put a message on Boothy443's talk page asking why he wants this article at WCAU with a reason that appears to be most probable according to my speculation. Georgia guy 01:12, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  What should the article name be? 

message: Hi, I am Scott Brown MrPhillyTV and I want to relive those good days when WCAU was CBS and before they went to NBC. IF you have any videos of them please send and do not be like those people on tvnewstalk.net who were mean and never sent tapes that they agreed to. I got my revenge on them.

thread_title:  I want to relive those days 

message: I took out most of the paragraph on the 1956 NBC-Westinghouse swap, as it did not directly involve WCAU-TV as a separate entity.  While it **does** involve NBC's history in Philadelphia, that information should continue to have a place in this article, but the nuts-and-bolts details from a Philadelphia standpoint can be found in KYW (AM) and KYW-TV.

message: CBS 10 Philadelphia is most likely Erik Mokracek.  He founded a Yahoo Group of the same name, and he is the only person known to want KYW and WCAU to revert to their old affiliations, with no explanation as to why.John 22:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

message: To be "notable former staff", someone must be notable and former staff. For instance, we would not include Sally Field or Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. While both are clearly notable, neither one is former staff. Likewise, someone who is former staff but not notable would not be included. - SummerPhDv2.0 02:54, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

message: Yes, people die. However, Wikipedia generally does not indicate in lists that various people are dead. If you disagree, you might want to update this list for starters. - SummerPhDv2.0 02:54, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
