I'll take this one! It's very long, so might take some time, and I'll go section-wise. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 07:24, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Lead
[edit]Woww, six paras.
- First,3rd,4th, 6th para-fine
- Second para- "Hartford's channel 3":"Hartford's VHF channel 3" (if that is what it is trying to say)
- Yes, and I've spelled out UHF and VHF.
- Fifth para- "as the market's third independent": is there a word missing
- In this case, "independent" is short for "independent station". I will never use just "independent" on first reference but may on second and later.
- I might go through it again after reviewing the body too, but till then, is there anything in "In 1960, RKO General acquired WHCT ... outside of sports broadcasts." these 2.5 paras that can be shortened- the lead is kinda long?
- This is a massive lead, the longest I've ever written and probably ever will write, and it's longer than frankly should be recommended. You may be able to see why once you read the prose. The station's history divides into five broad buckets, which are the way the lead is structured beyond paragraph 1 and also the first five level-2 headings. These are the early years, when the station was a network affiliate and in the immediate aftermath of the CBS exit; RKO's ownership and Phonevision; Faith Center ownership; the Astroline era including the six years of silence from 1991 to 1997; and Entravision ownership with Univision programming beginning in 2000. The transitions between them are very clear-cut in terms of programming orientation, too. I really would like, once you're done reading this, an outsider's view of how this might be structured in fewer paragraphs. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:59, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Early years
[edit]- All fine
- Half a suggestion and half a joke, but have you thought about making and adding a flowchart to explain all this?
Subchannels
[edit]All fine
Images and References
[edit]- References all fine
- Images- Any possibility of more images?
- I wish. The original studio building on Asylum in Hartford is still standing and is now loft apartments for artists. Unfortunately, I've never been to Connecticut and don't know anyone from there who could take a picture of it.
Overall
[edit]It's big, so that's the remarks for now, will review the actual prose in a day or a few days. Though, could you split some of the paragraphs- they are hard to read when this large- 8-10 lines (on a PC) max per para should be okay. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 18:41, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
