thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:200px-WTVJ-TV 6.png

message: I just cut everyone out of the alumni section that does not have their own Wikipedia page or have a reference to establish their notability.  This is the current consensus procedure, based on discussions at WP:WikiProject Television Stations and at the Village Pump. The rationales are as follows:
#Most importantly, per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information."  As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.  
#Secondarily, per WP:V, we cannot include information that is not verifiable and sourced.  I'm not certain how it would even be possible to source this information.
#Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.
All of the people with their own pages are notable enough to appear on this list.  However, if you look at pages about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable.  Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of info, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher).
Note that one of the people I deleted, Paul Salsby, had a "reference," but that was to Linkedin, and, per WP:RS, social networking sites are almost never considered reliable.  Qwyrxian (talk) 06:47, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced or improperly referenced names as entries to the list of former employees in the article. A pre-existing article in Wikipedia for the person may demonstrate notability for inclusion.

#As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced. 
# WP:NLIST tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article. 
#Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

Talk:WCCT-TV

message: I made the most recent changes for a few reasons.
First, it is important to mention that the station was converted from NBC to independent because that's exactly how it went down: Channel 20's switch coincided with the new ownership taking over.  And secondly, we don't need to list specific show titles, or break down the schedule time slot by time slot, so I brought back sentences which simplify the changes made after the sale/LMA in '93.
From my research, WATR was a full ABC affiliate for much of the time during their relationship.  Can anyone verify the line "WATR-TV became an independent station on paper"?  And, the FCC FIRST asked Tribune to sell WTXX in March 2005.  If the waiver period were six months, then Tribune would have asked again in September, so that can be debated.  But articles found on the elsewhere on the web show March as the original date of the request.  Rollosmokes 18:02, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

message: While we're at it - the "History" section is way, way too lengthy.  It contains just about everything except what the anchors had for lunch on one day in 1994.  A starting suggestion: trim down stuff like the multi-line dissection of the station's current schedule...which seems to be in the same style as the "Criticism" section (i.e. solely to express the opinion that "WUAB stinks, it runs too many infomercials").  WUAB is a station with a rich history, but this is ridiculous. MPWard 08:02, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:WUHF

message: Wasn't WUHF also Rochester's UPN affiliate for a number of years when UPN first came on the air?  I don't know the details, but I recall that when UPN was new, WUHF carried all of their shows, but they had some sort of limited affiliation whereby they aired the shows in timeslots that didn't conflict with their Fox programming, instead of the standard UPN time slots. -Erik Harris 14:24, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is based upon a very vague memory from the mid-late 1990s. UPN wasn't originally a network. It was a batch of about four syndicated shows. The most notable of which was Babylon 5 (to me, anyways). Once UPN became a network, it got a bit problematic for Fox affiliates and other non-independent stations that were carrying UPN programming. I seem to recall them finding away around this, perhaps it's what you're referring to? TimBRoy (talk) 07:29, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: UPN Affiliation

message: Howdy Buckaroos! I'm sure there's some encyclopedic references somewhere to Ranger Bob and his afternoon kids' shows. I'm perplexed that All Night Live got a mention and this didn't. Originally it was a cartoon show with video game elements to it. Kids who didn't own an Atari could phone in, and yell "POWW!" into the phone, which would trigger something to happen in a video game on screen. WPIX had a similar video game show, except the kids would yell "PIX!" into their phone.
One thing I do remember is that a week or a month or so before the station originally went live there was a showing of "It's a Wonderful Life." Possibly that was chosen due to the time of year and the fact that the film was by then public domain. I almost want to say that they showed it repeatedly. TimBRoy (talk) 07:36, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:WVIA-TV

message: WVIA often used 2nd and 3rd hand broadcasting equipment. Up until the mid 1990s they were still using the first color cameras originally used by Dick Clark’s American Bandstand at the ABC affiliate in Philadelphia. The cameras had the WVIA logo on one side of the camera while the other side still had the painted logo of WARM (now WNEP)and that paint was pealing away to reveal the original Philadelphia station’s stencil underneath. 
Don’t know where to research documentation of this, I either gained the knowledge during frequent volunteer trips to the studios to work on air phone banks for WVIAs telethons and auctions in the mid 1990s or from a WVIA produced program on Northeastern Pennsylvania’s “Golden Age of Television” encompassing the history of all local stations produced about the same time period. Would provide interesting trivia if documentation can be found.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.235.68.109 (talk) 04:13, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk:WWBI-LP

message: Quote from article...
"It is expected the channel 27 signal will no longer be available in the areas of Quebec far from the border by mid 2007, when it will be cancelled out by the French Télé-Québec network; its flagship, CIVM, will commence digital broadcasting on channel 27, from atop Mount Royal in Montreal. It is not known how CIVM's signal would affect WWBI's signal in WWBI's immediate viewing area."
As of mid-July 2007, you can still clearly receive WWBI's analog signal from within the Montreal area. I'm curious if CIVM has delayed digital broadcasting. Presumably it would indeed cancel out the analog 27 in the Montreal/Quebec region--I'd be surprised if it didn't.--User:apple2gs 05:01, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: About two weeks after posting that the signal vanished, I just get static snow on channel 27 from my Montreal location. Difficult to say if it's CVIM blocking it out, or if they're having technical difficulties, especially since WWBI has gone off the air like that for long periods before. If anyone has official confirmation about CVIM using channel 27 (as of July/August 2007) the article should be updated...-Apple2gs 03:45, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:WWNY-TV

message: From the 'coverage area' section: "For many years, WWNY's largest viewership was in Kingston, since for nearly 20 years it was the only station routinely available over-the-air other than the local CKWS-TV."
Um, no. While CIII-TV 2 signed on (as CKGN) in January 1974 (vs. 1954/55 for CKWS and WWNY), it was the last of the VHF stations to go on the air in the Kingston-Watertown area. There were already three stations (NBC 3, CBS 5 WHEN, ABC 9 WSYR) in Syracuse (which came in poorly, receivable only with a full-size outdoor antenna) and three local stations (CJOH-TV 6 CTV, WWNY 7, CKWS 11 CBC) in Kingston-Watertown. WPBS-TV (as WNPE) was likely the first UHF station in Kingston-Watertown (1971), followed several years later by an underpowered ABC repeater (of WUTR 20 Utica) on 50 (which has since become WWTI, a full-power local station). CBLFT 32 and CICA 38 are more recent additions (mid-1980's).
CJOH 6 was the last of the three CJOH VHF transmitters to go live (first was CJOH 13 Ottawa, then CJOH 8 Cornwall) but it does pre-date the 1974 addition of CKGN to this market by many years. Furthermore, once 2 Bancroft did go live, it was a hundred miles from Kingston-Watertown (Bancroft is an hour north of Belleville) and therefore no better a signal than the Syracuse, New York VHF locals. It might be worth checking when the third CJOH transmitter went on-air before designating WWNY and CKWS as the only game in town for nearly twenty years? They were first, but I'd suspect CJOH 6 has been around for longer than one may realise? --carlb 21:28, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
