- ... that in the span of three days, a Florida man was approved by bankruptcy courts to buy two Virginia TV stations and arrested on charges of laundering millions in drug money? Source: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/119472738/stations-sales-put-in-doubt-indictment/
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Greeting Prelude and Template:Did you know nominations/Oakdale Golf & Country Club
- Comment: Double DYK — these two stations go together to the point where WWCW calls half of WFXR by labeled section transclusion. Note that courts (plural) is intended: WVFT was in Tampa bankruptcy court, while WJPR was in Lynchburg bankruptcy court.
Improved to Good Article status by Sammi Brie (talk). Self-nominated at 00:06, 9 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/WFXR; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page. Both articles:
| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
| Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems |

Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- I am a bit concerned about having these two links so close together, as they might violate MOS:SEAOFBLUE (there is no indication that "two Virginia" and "TV stations" lead to different articles unless you hover over them). Perhaps rewording the hook would help.
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
@Sammi Brie: Nice work on both articles. I just had a concern about the hook, though. Epicgenius (talk) 13:47, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: Understandable. This is a toughie. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:34, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that in the span of three days, a Florida man was approved by bankruptcy courts to buy TV stations in Roanoke and Lynchburg, Virginia, and arrested on charges of laundering millions in drug money?
Looks good to me. Thanks for coming up with ALT1, Sammi. (This one is 180 characters, since I ignored the second bolded link, but I'd suggest deleting "the span of" to shorten it even more.) Epicgenius (talk) 16:39, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
