As of this date, there are no AM or FM radio stations with a callsign containing WPIX. —A 05:25, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Indeed, I don't think there ever was an AM station with the WPIX calls.  I did, however, see a reference to "WPIX-AM-FM" in the 1965 (or was it 1966?) New York Times Index, however it may have been an error. –Wbwn 14:39, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I noticed recently that there was an edit war concerning the end of when the Kids WB weekday programming ended. I searched a forum, and according to this thread, they stopped airing weekday cartoons at the very end of 2005. So January 2, 2006 was the first day without Kids WB weekday cartoons.

thread_title:  Station Branding 

message: It should be noted that WWE Smackdown is moving to WPIX three weeks before the launch of The CW.  My Network TV is launching two weeks before The CW, providing interesting choices for the new My Network TV stations on what to do with those final two weeks of UPN or WB programming.
Some My Network TV stations will be airing their UPN/WB programming in late night, while others, including WWOR and the Fox stations will not show it at all.  WWE Smackdown, which never has repeats (although they occasionally have clip shows) has a special situation, since its still a UPN show for the next three weeks and WWOR is not showing it.  It is a station issue AND a network issue, that a special deal was made to air UPN's final three weeks of Smackdown on WPIX (and other Tribune WB-CW stations) in advance of the CW launch.  Yes, Smackdown is going to be on The CW, but until the new network launches, it is still WB11 and Smackdown still is a UPN show.  This is certainly something worth noting.
Now for your opinions.

message: It's already a long article, but I'd like to see one aspect of WPIX history at least touched on -- in pre-satellite days, WPIX was distributed on microwave throughout a lot of New England, enabling it to be carried by a lot of cable systems, and giving many communties an independent alternative that would not have been available off-air.

message: Rollosmokes keeps on reverting the digital tv section back, saying there is no source for it. All I had to do is google "LATV WPIX" on google, and I found a source, very easily:  In addition, all I had to do is turn on my television to channel 11.2, and LATV is there. Please stop reverting for no reason, Rollosmokes.71.183.53.9 (talk) 01:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if this is true, then why isn't WPIX listed on LATV's website () and why aren't they listed on WPIX's website in return?  TV Guide and Zap 2 It doesn't list LATV on WPIX-DT2 either (instead, it reads "To be announced").  TitanTV doesn't list WPIX-DT2 at all.  So again, it needs a written source.  Until then, it's coming off.  Rollosmokes (talk) 05:06, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Sir, I can turn on my tv, and LATV is indeed on 11.2. I also provided you with a written source. Here is another source: I think that's quite a valid source, in addition to the fact that the channel is actually being broadcast. I undersand that you would like a validiated source, but I'd appreciate if you would not label me as posting false information, and calling me a vandal, just because I added a little piece of information.96.250.204.12 (talk) 22:19, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I removed the information for one main reason -- the subchannel is scheduled to begin carrying LATV later in 2008.  None of these articles mention when LATV will begin on the subchannel, and I can't verify that it's on the air myself, as I don't have access to any DTV signals at home.  When LATV puts WPIX on its affiliate list, or when WPIX plugs LATV on its website, then those official sources should be credited.  But, if it isn't officially launched yet, let's not be presumtive.

message: Rollosmokes has once again been trying to force his opinion that any usage of the term "The CW" or "The WB" is incorrect. He has been informed before (here and in the following section of that page) that in infoboxes, the title or proper name is the correct usage - which means that "The CW" or "The WB" is proper. Rollosmokes has tried to claim that this is bad grammar, but that only applies to usage in a sentence. The consensus at the WGN page was to remain with the full capitalized usage in infoboxes, and on that page he was left it alone - although overnight he went on a wholesale revert campaign when I tried to correct it across several pages.

replies: text: What consensus?  There was no consensus reached at WGN-TV, just a few folks throwing around their opinions.  This was never put to a real consensus decision.

text: Telling people "stay out of it" as soon as they express opinions which differ from whatever agenda you're trying to force is not the Wikipedia way of doing things. Wikipedia is based on collaborative editing and consensus requires the ability of others to have input and express opinions.

replies: text: May I suggest that everyone discuss article content respectfully and avoid phrases such as "force his opinion", "stay out of it" or "you have already been banned"; please consider striking out such phrases if you wrote them but it's usually best not to delete others' comments. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 17:42, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Since their in the two-month transition to the new logo, please keep the CW 11 logo up until all graphics on WPIX have changed to the circle 11. Thats including program bugs, station IDs, and newscast (the new logo is only being used for promos).

message: Whoever edited the page to say that the transition ended early is wrong. The station is still using 'CW11' on-air, including the bug during programming and their newscasts. The new logo is still mainly seen in promos. The station did have a Giants pre-game show on 11/13/08 that did showcase the new logo for 30 minutes but the main newscasts still sport the old logo for now.

thread_title:  Sports Team 

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
#WP:NOT tells us, 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.  
#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.
If you look at articles 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 names, 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). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article.  cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 16:57, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: None of the names have references, why don't we hide every name that does not have a reference and they can be un-hidden when someones takes the time to add a reference? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 05:14, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

text: The theory is that we can keep people if they have their own wikipage, because 1) having their own page means we can presume they are notable; and 2) their own page should have some sort of reference to verify that they worked at WPIX.  However, technically, if I went to one of the people's pages, and did not find a valid reference to show that they worked at WPIX, then I could remove it here.  The practical matter is that we rarely do, only because of the significant amount of time that would take.  Basically we (here, I mean Deconstructhis, myself, and one or two other editors) get rid of those people we know for should be on lists like this, because better is, well, better.  It's relatively easy to "fix" the BLP problem of redlinked + unreferenced people; actually tracking down each wikilinked page would take more time.  Essentially, we could say that that's the second step, but its a step that will probably be a long way off given how much time even the first step takes.  As for keeping people we remove hidden, the information's still in the history, so anyone can retrieve it (or, if they just find a new person, add it without having to mess around with comments).Qwyrxian (talk) 07:34, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
