One minor correction. It was stated that WNAC-DT 64.2 aired the weather channel or radar with no audio prior to the sign on of MyRI. This is incorrect. 64.2 was only used for occasional feeds, and never full time, after the sign off of the Weather Station in 2007. I put 64.2 on the air full time in September 2009 for testing and we launched MyRI on 10/01/09 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.228.148.235 (talk) 07:56, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"The Providence, RI / New Bedford, MA television market does not yet have a known affiliate for My Network TV" -- Um, if the MNTV website is definitively saying that Fox 64 is to be the MNTV affiliate, how can the article still have the above statement? - EmiOfBrie 15:12, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WNAC airs MyNetwork as a secondary affiliate from 11:30pm to 01:30am. - Signed, a WNAC employee. Also there is no pinpoint WX channel being broadcast over the transmitter (64.2), it was removed. - Also signed, a WNAC employee. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.221.71.52 (talk) 04:31, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Pinpoint weather channel.jpg[edit]

Image:Pinpoint weather channel.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:My Network TV Logo 2D.png[edit]

The image Image:My Network TV Logo 2D.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:

LIN standard logos?[edit]

Per former content at the article for LIN TV-owned WDTN in Dayton, OH, and a question at "Talk:WDTN#LIN standard logos?":

The logos used by WDTN, WNAC-TV, WPRI-TV and former LIN station WAND in Decatur/Springfield/Champaign/Urbana, IL, are very similar.

My operating theory is, as former logos are retired, LIN either does or did employ common station branding. Can this theory be proved or disproved? If it was LIN policy, was it only applied to certain stations?

KMID, in Midland/Odessa, TX, has no apparent connection to the LIN stations. Is its similar logo just a coincidence or is it an example of reusing a public domain logo?

If anyone has any insight on this and/or sources proving or disproving, please let me know here. Thanks. --Chaswmsday (talk) 14:12, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relevant[edit]

Tagged what seems to be irrelevant prose in most of a paragraph about competitors' operations, which appears to go beyond comparisons with the subject of this article. --Chaswmsday (talk) 13:36, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious[edit]

Tagged what seems to be a dubious statement about simulcasting a weather channel on weekends. Sister station WPRI-TV states that the weather channel no longer exists. If that's true, prose here should be reworded to conform with WPRI-TV's prose. --Chaswmsday (talk) 13:47, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on WNAC-TV. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
