Overall: @Sammi Brie: Nice work on the article. I have a minor nitpick about the hook: "years after it closed, the studios of an Iowa TV station". There is a singular-plural mismatch. If it's the studios that closed, you can change "it" to "they". If it's KGTV that closed, then this is a dangling modifier, and I would reword this to something like "... that years after an Iowa TV station closed, its studios became the headquarters for the state police radio network?".

- I didn't see it quite that way because I figured the focus would be "an Iowa TV station". Your ALT0a is fine, Epicgenius. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:57, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Looks good, then. Thanks for the response. Epicgenius (talk) 18:00, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
