Hello, @Sammi Brie: I will be reviewing this article as part of the January 2025 GAN Backlog drive. BigChrisKenney (talk) 02:22, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Intro

Good!

WKTR-TV

From here on, there are many invisible comments that have abbreviated days of the week. Could you explain why this is?

They're a tool in PressPass, the indispensable processing utility for Newspapers.com clippings. That script has saved me an incalculable amount of time over the years. The idea is to help with day-of-week mentions, common in newspaper articles.

Construction and early years

I made some edits you should review.

ABC sale negotiations

I made some edits you should review.

Affiliation with ABC and bribery scandal

I made some edits you may wish to review.

Financial troubles and shutdown

I made some edits you may wish to review.

"...four months later, three television program syndicators filed seeking the placement of the business into involuntary bankruptcy."

What did these three television program syndicators file? A lawsuit? A little clarification here would be good.
- Added "petition"

Public TV for Dayton

WOET-TV: An educational rescue

I made some edits you may wish to review.

In the last paragraph: "...first week of programs on WOET was plagued by issues because WCET, the ultimate off-air source for the programs, held a local pledge drive."

WOET was plagued by issues because WCET held a local pledge drive? Is this correct? I checked the source (53) and I didn't see a clear answer there.
- Decided to excise this sentence.

Maturation

I broke up a long sentence, you may wish to review.

Into new studios

I made some edits you may wish to review.

ThinkTV: Collaboration and merger with WCET

I made some edits that you should review.

Sources

81 needs to be removed or replaced as the link rerouts to The Cincinnati Enquirer's main page

Lateral fix to a Newspapers.com clipping that is the same source.

I checked every 5th source and some others as well. I only found the problem above.

Initial Assesment

Overall, a very detailed and thorough article about the history of the station. I will continue the review after you have reviewed my comments. BigChrisKenney (talk) 03:46, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
