Who Are They Going To Sell WHO-TV TO? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.221.56.133 (talkcontribs) .

Don't know yet. I'm sure we'll know once an announcement is made. --Iowahwyman 17:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Page protection[edit]

I appreciate the page protection while this dispute can be solved. We have an IP editor who believes the call letters of the station to be WHO-HD, not WHO-DT. A quick glance at the FCC database for WHO-HD shows nothing [1]. A glance at the FCC database for WHO-DT shows the proper call sign [2]. That is the dispute, and that is the evidence. More evidence of WHO-DT call letters is here: [3] --ḾỊḼʘɴίcảTalkI DX for fun! 22:00, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a section regarding the probable edit warring occurring here [4]. I am not the only editor who has been reverting this IP's edits. --ḾỊḼʘɴίcảTalkI DX for fun! 22:20, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material[edit]

Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to a list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

  1. WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
  2. As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
  3. WP:NLIST tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
  4. Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. 70.48.216.22 (talk) 00:45, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Meredith getting WHO-TV[edit]

Orphaned references in WHO-DT[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of WHO-DT's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "tvnc-nexstarspinoffs":

  • From KFSM-TV: "Nexstar Selling 19 TVs In 15 Markets For $1.32B". TVNewsCheck. NewsCheckMedia. March 20, 2019. Retrieved March 20, 2019.
  • From WTKR: "Nexstar Selling 19 TVs In 15 Markets For $1.32B". TVNewsCheck. NewsCheckMedia. March 20, 2019. Retrieved March 20, 2019.
  • From WTVR-TV: Mark K. Miller (March 20, 2019). "Nexstar Selling 19 TVs In 15 Markets For $1.32B". TVNewsCheck. NewsCheck Media.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 22:55, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Involving the NTM deal[edit]

It appears that Scripps just have Nexstar Tribune Media an option to buy back Tribune's east coast flagship WPIX between April 2020 and December 2021. And gosh, what a costly deal it would be. So in order to compensate for the buyback of WPIX back to NTM (on behalf of Tribune), it may have to sell Channel 13 to cross-town company Meredith Corporation, which will make it their flagship property.

What do you think? RevinCBHatol (talk) 03:23, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

13.4 Programming Change[edit]

Recently the Iowa's Weather Channel programming was brought back on 13.4. I would like to edit this into the article, but I do not know the exact date this change took effect. Does anyone know when this took effect? Floppa-Lover (talk) 19:20, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
