Talk:KYUR

message: I have moved this article back to KIMO from KIMO-TV. Consensus on both WP:NC#Broadcasting and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations#Article_names is that the article name should reflect the actual call letters of the TV station. As can be seen here:  the call letters for this station are in fact KIMO. Any concerns regarding this topic would be best addressed here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations.

thread_title: Article name

message: I would think that Ty Hardt would qualify, but I honestly don't know that much about him, either while at the station or the rest of his career.  Isn't he currently working for Mark Begich?
I'll ask the same question I asked at KTUU's talk page.  Is this section supposed to be strictly for "news" personalities?  If not, I think that Pastor Norman Jones was notable for his lengthy tenure on the station.  For the unfamiliar, Jones was the pastor of Bethel Chapel, "in Mountain View, a suburb of Anchorage," as the anonymous booth announcer would intone.  Jones had a daily half-hour program which aired for longer than any of us will spend in Hell, or so it seemed at the time.  A search of the Anchorage Daily News archives reveals: The Rev. Norman Louis Jones, 71, died May 27 (1993) at his Anchorage home.  I don't remember when he left the airwaves, but I think it was a few years before that.RadioKAOS (talk) 00:22, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Former on-air staff

message: So instead of mentioning individuals who actually had something to do with this station's success or history, such as Herb Shaindlin, John Vallentine or Cindy Suryan (or even folks like Cary Carrigan), the section called "Notable former on-air staff" has been reduced to an WP:INDISCRIMINATE listing of people who had next to zero to do with the station's history but happen to have Wikipedia articles.  In other words, the only context needing satisfied is a strictly self-serving Wikipedian context, and that the station's history matters zero to this context.  This same thing happened with the other stations in town: Sarah Palin's cup of coffee or two at a station decades before she became famous is somehow important to the station's history, but not people who were at those stations for decades and were awarded by the Alaska Broadcaster's Association and similar organizations for that work.  To that, I'm calling bullshit.  The worst thing is that this was the result of "consensus", which must have been cooked up in the back room of a Denny's restaurant somewhere, because I've yet to find any evidence that it was ever discussed on THIS WEBSITE before it was implemented.  I haven't even mentioned the station's news director promoting herself, apart from placing  on the top of this talk page. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions  11:37, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
