Repercussions of the 1994 United States broadcast TV realignment → Repercussions of the 1994–96 United States broadcast TV realignment or Repercussions of the 1994–97 United States broadcast TV realignment – The affiliation changes stemming from and including the Fox-New World agreement took place over the course of two to three years; as such, specifying a time span would be appropriate. Given that an additional affiliation changes related to a transaction stemming from the Fox-New World agreement took place in early 1997 (i.e., WJXX's sign-on and assumption of the ABC affiliation in Jacksonville, Florida from WJKS), "Repercussions of the 1994–97 United States broadcast TV realignment" may also be acceptable as a new title for the article.

Comment: Per MOS:DATERANGE it should be 1994–1996.--Gonnym (talk) 18:27, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment reply: It should be noted that the United States network television schedules articles follow a date range along the lines of "1994–95". MOS:DATERANGE does permit the use of two-digit ending years "in certain topic areas if there is a very good reason, such as matching the established convention of reliable sources," so said style illustration might apply here.

Oppose. The main article is at 1994 United States broadcast TV realignment. This article is about the repercussions that followed from that 1994 realignment, so the current article title is the correct one. Also, as pointed out above, your proposals also violate MOS:DATERANGE. Rreagan007 (talk) 20:06, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Repercussions of the 1994 United States broadcast TV realignment → Repercussions of the 1994–1996 United States broadcast TV realignment – This would be consistent with the main article, 1994–1996 United States broadcast TV realignment, which was recently moved to that title. 64222368Z260O (talk) 03:54, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support. No reason for the inconsistency. Indeed, it seems the previous proposal was declined because it would introduce inconsistency, but that no longer holds true because of the move of the main article. Though I do wonder: why we have two articles? oknazevad (talk) 11:49, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
