Fair use rationale for Image:2007wvia.png[edit]

Image:2007wvia.png 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.

American Bandstand Connection[edit]

WVIA often used 2nd and 3rd hand broadcasting equipment. Up until the mid 1990s they were still using the first color cameras originally used by Dick Clark’s American Bandstand at the ABC affiliate in Philadelphia. The cameras had the WVIA logo on one side of the camera while the other side still had the painted logo of WARM (now WNEP)and that paint was pealing away to reveal the original Philadelphia station’s stencil underneath.

Don’t know where to research documentation of this, I either gained the knowledge during frequent volunteer trips to the studios to work on air phone banks for WVIAs telethons and auctions in the mid 1990s or from a WVIA produced program on Northeastern Pennsylvania’s “Golden Age of Television” encompassing the history of all local stations produced about the same time period. Would provide interesting trivia if documentation can be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.235.68.109 (talk) 04:13, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
