WOTH

[edit]

It doesn't seem that WOTH's programming is mostly the infomercial type; see [1] for more information. I changed the text to state the two networks they are affiliated with. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs, blog) 02:57, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WBQC shows i? I don't think so.

[edit]

W9WI may say so, but I can find no i programming on WBQC's schedule, and it's not on i's affiliate list. I suspect W9WI is in error. I also think that, without firmer sources, we shouldn't say WBQC will become i in September. (It's possible it runs infomercials from i, but that's hardly a "secondary affiliation".) I'm going to start removing all reference to i from this article and from references to the station if I don't get something firmer. Morgan Wick 17:56, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Google News gives only a Cincinnati Enquirer article that indicates that it will go independent -- as in no network affiliation -- after UPN folds. Since I can't find i programming on the current schedule either, I think it's a non-affiliate of that network and we can remove such mentions -- I agree that W9WI might be a bit off here. --WCQuidditch 02:09, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Around 1999, I remember watching programming from other networks on WBQC, including America One and possibly PAX (now i) – that's how I found out about those networks. It's entirely possible that they've since dropped that programming, however. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 05:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, America One has since moved to WOTH-LP; that may help explain it, but probably not the W9WI listing (maybe just the fact that it didn't go with A1 to WOTH?) Morgan Wick 06:14, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Roselawn

[edit]

The Enquirer says they're a "Roselawn independent station". Did they move, or is the Enquirer just talking about their transmitter station? – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 06:41, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Station management said station operations moved from Golf Manor to Roselawn. The transmitter did not move. Wiffledude (talk) 15:20, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DT suffix

[edit]

Looks like there are some articles (like KKYK-DT) that use the -DT suffix already. KKYK's story sounds similar to WOTH-DT's, in that it's not simply a digital version of the analog station. (In this case, it's two stations combined.) So eventually, it might be necessary to name the article with the -LD or -CD suffix (see North American call sign). Not now, of course. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 00:04, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming this Article

[edit]

I think this article should be renamed "WKRP-TV". --68.37.66.81 (talk) 15:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's just their branding; their legal call sign is still WBQC-CA. Similarly, we've kept WKRC-TV rather than Local 12, even though they no longer identify by their call sign on-air. Of course, we have redirects for both, so readers can still find what they're looking for either way. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 08:20, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge WBQC-LD into WOTH-CD

[edit]

According to the FCC records databases, WBQC-LP is no longer anything but a construction permit and application. The other two records listed at [2] seem to be out of date, and they list facility IDs that are no longer recognized by any of the FCC's other databases. [3][4] According to this FCC tool, Block operates only one TV station on RF channel 20 – the one on virtual channel 25, branded "WKRP-TV". Here's the Class A renewal application from May.

So I think we should merge WBQC-LD into WOTH-CD and drop all references to WBQC (except in the history section). WOTH should refer to the overall station, not just the America One–affiliated subchannel.

 Done – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 10:07, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like Block Broadcasting has moved WKRP programming back to WBQC-LP (UHF 47, virtual 25) and is testing a separate set of subchannels on WOTH-LP (UHF 20, virtual 20). [5][6] So we'll probably have to split up this article again. – Minh Nguyễn 💬 06:01, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WKRPTV took care of unmerging the article – thanks! – Minh Nguyễn 💬 21:02, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
