RoySmith (talk) 00:02, 9 January 2024 (UTC) Analog cableYou're absolutely correct, Category:Analog cable television networks in Canada vs. Category:Digital cable television networks in Canada isn't a useful or functional distinction anymore in a 2024 context. That said, there still is a distinction to be drawn between the "standard package" channels and the "add-on pack" channels, but analog vs. digital obviously doesn't have anything to do with it anymore, and the official classification that does exist now, "discretionary" vs. "premium", is a little too opaque to actually serve as a point of categorization — so I'm not sure whether the best solution would be to rename them to something else (with a bit of reclassification where needed) or to just collapse them both into one new shared category. Thanks for the catch, as I haven't been around that category tree in a hot minute, so I likely wouldn't have noticed myself that it was still using such an outdated classification. But I'll save you the trouble of having to take it to CFD, and sort it out myself later today. Bearcat (talk) 15:25, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks and congratulations on your work!—Wehwalt (talk) 19:07, 31 January 2024 (UTC) TFAThank you and your colleague today for WWJ-TV, introduced: "Ask either of us about the most culturally significant TV station we've written and this will be our unequivocal answer. Channel 62 in Detroit started life in September 1975, after a years-long struggle to secure financing, as WGPR-TV, the first Black-owned TV station in the United States. Owned by a Black Masonic group, it was a high-visibility station at its launch with very ambitious programming plans, key portions of which never materialized. However, some of its local shows stuck, and it produced a string of notable local and national Black broadcast professionals. In 1994, a major TV station affiliation switch swept the nation and left CBS looking for a new affiliate in Detroit. CBS failed to secure a better station, and the desperate network bought WGPR-TV from the International Free and Accepted Modern Masons, in the process removing the Black- and community-oriented programming channel 62 had long carried (and raising some community outcry). Today, the former WGPR studios are on the National Register of Historic Places, and in the old TV studio is a museum devoted to its history. CBS renamed the station WWJ-TV, for the radio station it owned there. For many years, it never thoroughly invested in this high-number station. It floated but quickly abandoned an attempt to start a news department in 1995; upon merging with WKBD-TV, that station's ailing news department briefly extended to channel 62 before dying; and there was a morning weather-and-news program for a few years. That changed in a big way in February, when a full online streaming service and news department known as CBS News Detroit debuted. This is a big dog of a project, and it's one that we have found quite fulfilling.

The fact was ... that an editorial cartoon in The Honolulu Advertiser called Civ-Alert "Hawaii's Paul Revere"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Civ-Alert. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Civ-Alert), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Many of these station articles have suffered from poorly informed speculation, so I really appreciate the work you've done to get the citations in order. Incidentally, I've started to map some of these stations' studios and towers in OpenHistoricalMap, which would eventually make it easier to put early station histories in context. For example, until I mapped the past and current studios of WXIX-TV, I hadn't realized the station had moved across town and back to essentially the same block that it started on. For WBQC-LD, plotting the signal range around its old location would help to illustrate why cable companies found it so easy to ignore them for so long. There are some technical hurdles for embedding OHM content into Wikipedia articles like the existing OSM maps, but the main obstacle is the lack of data. Please let me know if I can help with any questions you have about OHM, and thanks again! – Minh Nguyễn 💬 03:19, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
KBHKThe correct procedure for dealing with questionably sourced claims is to add a "possibly contains original research" tag at the top of the article or "citation needed" tags after the individual disputed claims, and then give interested readers a few weeks to accumulate sources. Correct procedure is NOT to indiscriminately delete half of the article! 98.234.13.133 (talk) 01:05, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

I really loved the improvements you made for KCTV Channel 5, KSHB-TV Channel 41, KSMO-TV Channel 62, and KCPT Channel 19. However, I think it'll might be cool working on or improving the articles for KMBC-TV Channel 9 and WDAF-TV Channel 4. KMCI Channel 38 and KCWE Channel 29 might be more difficult since those are some new TV stations in KC terms. Keep up the good work. mer764KCTV(Talk) 02:34, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
