Files

Good to go, KTNV logo.svg has a valid public domain rationale.

Prose

Wikilink construction permit as I recall you usually do for stations.
What is a classified ad feature? (I do know the first word means categorised).
- They ran ads like you'd see in a newspaper. On TV.
Rephrase or elaborate upon "out west" for readers unfamiliar with the area/country.
"Television Corporation of America" – corporation?
"it became an ABC affiliate" – wikilink as first mention in the body.
"In 1959, the sale of the station to Rube Jolley, the founder of KLAS-TV, was reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal" – is there a reason you decided to phrase this sentence in this manner?
Does the sentence starting "(The other two were" really need parentheses? It works as its own sentence.
"Two gamblers were members of Clark County Communications, one of the competing applicants, thus the issue." – I may be missing something but what does thus the issue mean?
- The issue is why he resigned. A gambling regulator going up against gamblers for the license.
Which locality is Valley View Drive in?
- Paradise, which is unincorporated. Las Vegas city limits don't go south of Desert Inn (see [1], KTNV's studios are south of Desert Inn on Valley View). However, their website and FCC public file show their mailing address as having a Las Vegas, NV, postal address, and the USPS only recognizes the city of LAS VEGAS NV for zip code 89102. A lot of Clark County is unincorporated, so city labels get kinda screwy. The city of Las Vegas doesn't even contain the Strip.
"The (Milwaukee) Journal Company" – is (Milwaukee) needed here? Readers can click the wikilinked company to see what journal it principally published.
"AM and FM radio stations" – wikilink.
Where is Black Mountain (which sounds cool AF) located?
"and lift them out of third place" sounds somewhat out of place in the way that it is phrased.
The sentence starting "In 2021, Scripps filed to move" is related enough to the former to be a single paragraph IMO.
