Talk:WPRI-TV

message: This is completley incorrect. WGME could have gone back to channel 13, however they would have been forced to use a lesser signal, protecting the WPRI-DT allocation. This is due to the rules enacted by the FCC. The strange accusation that WPRI somehow forced WGME to stay on UHF 38 is completley false, and incorrect information to be posted on here, thus I have removed it. 68.228.148.235 (talk) 08:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Wpro1050s.png

message: Per former content at the article for LIN TV-owned WDTN in Dayton, OH, and a question at "Talk:WDTN#LIN standard logos?":
The logos used by WDTN, WPRI-TV, WNAC-TV and former LIN station WAND in Decatur/Springfield/Champaign/Urbana, IL, are very similar.
My operating theory is, as former logos are retired, LIN either does or did employ common station branding. Can this theory be proved or disproved? If it was LIN policy, was it only applied to certain stations?
KMID, in Midland/Odessa, TX, has no apparent connection to the LIN stations. Is its similar logo just a coincidence or is it an example of reusing a public domain logo?
If anyone has any insight on this and/or sources proving or disproving, please let me know here. Thanks. --Chaswmsday (talk) 14:15, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
