message: I disagree with the splitting of the WFIL-TV section, as it is the same station as WPVI-TV is now. It makes no sense to make a split. Kramden4700 05:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Kramden4700 is right, it's an absolutely stupid idea...WPVI and WFIL-TV are the exact station, they just had different call letters due to changes in ownership.  There have been many stations across the country (I would estimate a good 70-75 percent of them) that have changed calls for various reasons.  If you have to do split articles for Philadelphia's Channel 6, then you might as well do one for every other station that have changed calls.  In the case of WKBS/WGTW, I can somewhat understand the splitting of different articles, only because they have had different operating histories, and the Channel 48 frequency was dormat for nearly a decade--between the last sign-off of WKBS and the first days of WGTW.  However, I do believe that the WKBS/WGTW articles should be combined, mainly it does talk the histories of the Channel 48 frequency in the Philadelphia market.  I've seen plenty of TV station articles on here that the exact same kind of broadcasting history that Channel 48 has had, in other words...stations that have went off the air for certain amount of years only to reappear later on down the line...see Los Angeles' Channel 30, Atlanta's Channel 36, a couple of Dallas-Fort Worth stations, and others.--ShawnHill 21:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I didn't exactly agree with you, CoolKatt, but my main point here is if we are going to do these pages, there has to be some form of consistency...either it all should be done one way or not done at all.  I've seen some of the pages that CoolKatt has edited, while I guess his intentions are somewhat well and good, but I can agree that some of trivia information is a bit much, and are irrelevant to the subject at hand.--ShawnHill 18:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

The third item of the Wikipedia fair-use policy states, "The amount of copyrighted work used should be as little as possible." Something needs to be done. A few unlicensed images might be acceptable under a claim of fair use, but 22 is clearly too many. —Bkell (talk) 23:40, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Shouln't we note something about Lisa Thomas-Laury on the page? She's not even in the Reorters section. Lisa was one of PVI's main faces until 2002 when she was diagnosed with a nerve disease. I belive she may have had some sort of accident on set because of this, but I can't verify. She has now recovered and is easing back into Action News, doing feature stories. Proof of this is on the 6ABC website in the videos section: 6abc.com --Adam Fisher-Cox (criticize or compliment) 18:11, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Her bio on 6abc.com is accessible only if you use a search engine to find it, but she is not listed in the main body of WPVI reporters on their bio page, and has not made any kind of appearance on WPVI since 2010.  She also hasn't made a post on her Facebook page since 2010.  Does anyone know if she is even still a WPVI employee? Bill S. (talk) 04:57, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Just learned from one of her fellow reporters at WPVI that Ms. O'Hearn left WPVI to raise a family, and according to that reporter, WPVI has left the door open for Ms. O'Hearn's return should she so desire.Bill S. (talk) 22:43, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
