Talk:WTRF-TV

message: With the new digital broadcasting (replacing the 50-year-old analog broadcasting), TV stations can broadcast more than one signal.  WTOV is using it's second "channel" as a full-time weather channel.  WTRF is using it's second as a FOX affiation.  Most of the Prime-Time programming found on FOX53 from Pittsburgh can also be found on "FOX Ohio Valley".  TV sets with digital tuners can receive this on channel 7-2.  WTRF's regular programming can be found in a digital format on channel 7-1.
Does that clear things up?

WTRF has experienced reporters who know the Ohio Valley.  Jerry Echemann, D.K. Wright and Dave Elias know the area and understand how to present news to the Ohio Valley.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.219.222.3 (talk) 02:08, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Didn't WTRF have a secondary ABC affiliation well into the 1980s? I remember for special events (Indy 500, for example), they would carry the ABC feed instead of the CBS feed? The date in the article of 1980 seems too early. Does anybody have a more exact date of when they completely dropped ABC as a secondary affiliate? Dmine45 (talk) 19:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I, too, assert that WTRF kept a minor ABC affiliation well into the 80s. While they apparently didn't carry any of ABC's prime time schedule, preferring CBS instead, I distinctly recall that rather than CBS's daily morning news program, they carried ABC's Good Morning America. 2601:545:8201:6290:8906:831E:5F5C:2173 (talk) 17:04, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Secondary ABC affilliation 

message: # First, I notice that this talk page is more becoming a "let's comment about quality of stations" instead of how the page itself is (which hasn't been updated significantly in a while besides to update channel affiliations and ownership). This wiki page is in dire need of an update. WTRF has a LOT of history behind it, and it does seem like whoever gave the two Upper OV stations the updates must have really loved WTOV.
# Now, about that. We might want to consider if some things have changed now that the two stations changed who they are owned by. Seems like Nexstar is trying to get some things going for WTRF, and we all know about WTOV getting bought by Sinclair, and yes, they were one of the many stations shown in the infamous "ScriptGate" controversy that got a lot of attention (they were shown prominently in the video). These things could have had a major effect in how each station is viewed right now. Would love to see some research done here.
# Regardless, I think this page needs major revisions so we can have some actual backstory about WTRF instead of "hey, it existed, and at one point, the station sucked, but look at all the different logos and owners they had."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkpower (talk • contribs) 01:22, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

message: I think this had something to do with WVTX-CD no longer being on air and thus, WTRF had to do something to get MyNet in HD from 420p like it was on their subchannel. Problem is, it's not just too much info, but the info that's there is way to hard to make out what was even said. It's terribly hard to follow what is even being said. Common people won't even know what a spectrum even IS, but instead of explaining that or cross linking to something that will give more info, the section instead info dumps to the point where it becomes hard to follow. Points are suddenly abandoned mid sentence to explain what something is that can be explained elsewhere or cross linked to another article, and then the previous point is suddenly picked back up again as if we were able to follow along. I would fix it but I'm not even sure what the author was trying to get across, even when I have a general idea of what the subject is about. WVTX-CD, after the failed attempt to make a third station in the market out if it, became a secondary feed for WTRF's ABC subchannel until WTVX ceased operation. Outside of that, I don't understand what was being said. Darkpower (talk) 22:58, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
