Sources

I noticed that you listed several interviews that you conducted yourself (at least, they were conducted by Richard Warner--a name very similar to your user name) as references for this article. Unfortunately, according to Wikipedia's policy on original research {WP:OR), interviews/research you've done yourself cannot be used as a source for articles. Since you haven't cited which specific parts of the article are based on your original research, I think it would be easier if you added citations for facts in the body of the article, leaving out what could not be referenced. You've also listed something articles from a publication over a several year span as references at the bottom of the article. Is there any way you could be more specific? The ideal is for other editors to be able to find the sources you've listed, and listing articles from 1948-1954 (not sure if this is the exact span, but it is something like that) is not all that helpful. Please see WP:ATT for more information on Wikipedia's attibution policies and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks ! janejellyroll 00:56, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to see the Channel 8 / 11 issue expanded upon. Was 8 re-allocated to Athens as a result of the post-freeze? And where did 11 come from (11 just seems to have "popped up", not being originally assigned to ATL, yet signing on as the last station authorized before the freeze....something here is amiss.

 I seem to recall 8 in Nashville initially being short-spaced when 8 was licensed to Atlanta,  and 8 being moved from West Point, MS to Selma, AL as a result of post-freeze 8 being assigned

to Athens.

Also, is there a table of 1952 post freeze assignments for the US anywhere?

This article is sorely in need of help

No mention of UHF channels 46 (WANX), 36 (WATL), and more egregiously, no mention of UHF 17 (WTCG), the foundation for Ted Turner's freakin' cable empire (TBS, TCM, Cnn, et. al.)! o0drogue0o 12:52, 30 October 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by O0drogue0o (talk • contribs)

I was wondering that too, at least about WTCG. I remember when they switched over to TBS and in fact, when I was a young girl scout in the 1970s, I went to WTCG and said the Pledge of Allegiance for one of its sign ons or sign offs or whatever. I remember seeing it several times! MagnoliaSouth ^(talk) 02:20, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
