Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

message: CityTV is the third oldest. But which is the oldest in Canada? Does anyone know? I can't find any info on this, but would really like to know.70.49.163.133 20:52, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There were a pair of repeaters for a Rimouski-based Radio-Canada station which were on-air in the 1960's on channel 70 and channel 75. These may well predate CITY-TV (1972) although they originated nothing and in any case have long since been replaced by a Rivière du Loup station either directly or on a repeater on a lower UHF channel. No idea why these frequencies were used; while it was common practice stateside to use 70-83 just for repeaters, it's unlikely that Gaspésie / Bas St. Laurent would be short of suitable vacant channels on any of the lower bands. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 05:31, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

text: In any case, the claim that "TVO is Canada's oldest educational television service. It established the country's first UHF TV channel in 1970 at Toronto." should be revised (or at least qualified somehow) if the licenses for the two Rimouski-station repeaters were issued in the 1950's. Admittedly the channel 70/75 repeaters originate nothing locally, but they were still UHF channels. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 16:10, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I like that GPS coordinates are given for the transmitter locations (makes aiming beam antennae easier, assuming your rotor controller is calibrated), but wouldn't decimal coordinates be better? i.e. to lose the 'special' characters and make the locations easier to copy and paste into Google Earth, et al. e.g. If you input 42°9′12″N 82°57′11″W into Google Earth, the actual location for the CICO-DT-32 transmitter is off by about 350m... if you instead copy/paste 42.153400, -82.953000 into Google Earth's Search field and hit Enter, it should take you to the correct location (note the shadow of the tower, and the triangle of guy-wire anchor points). Anyone near Windsor with a Garmin that could see which of those coordinate sets is more accurate?  :) Darr247 (talk) 18:23, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

message: The opening sentence is not accurate: "TVOntario (often shortened to TVO and stylized on-air as tvo) is a Canadian publicly funded English language educational television station and media organization serving the Canadian province of Ontario."
While TVO is primarily funded by the Ontario government, it is also a charitable organization supported by donors across the province. TVO has also evolved from a publicly funded "broadcaster" to a digital media organization and extension of Ontario's public education system offering a variety of educational products.
Suggested edit: 
"As the technological extension of Ontario’s public education system, TVO provides learning opportunities for Ontarians through educational products, current affairs, documentaries, and children's resources. TVO is funded primarily by the Province of Ontario and is a registered charity supported by sponsors and donors." Source: https://tvo.org/about
New to Wikipedia so please forgive me if I've missed a step in the protocol for edit requests.
