I am happy to review this one. I will make comments atop the chart with questions or checked sections. Excited to work with you to get this article passed.
Y The facts presented in the lead are repeated and cited in the article with one exception.
Y This appears in the lead but is not repeated and cited in the body it is also sister to Dabl affiliate WNAB (channel 58).
Reworded the lead to avoid this requiring excessive body detail about WNAB. As a "shelled" station (its programming was basically scooped up and ghosted for ownership-related reasons), it's hard to describe it in the lead without too many references.

Y MT Communications ownership - citations are all correct here
Y Sullivan and Sinclair management Does the first sentence line up with the cite? - I cannot find mention of "purchased WZTV".
Act III owned WZTV at the time, and the entire company was purchased. See also [1]. (ABRY bought Act III and then formed Sullivan to run the former Act III portfolio). Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:33, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Y TVX years says "stocked" and "in the running" might both be colloquial
Y TVX years, "had been chosen, as had a tower site" maybe use "selected"?
Y TVX years "The station affiliated that fall with the new Fox network" should is be "became" affiliated.
Y MT Communications ownership, "However, that deal fell apart, and the deal went the other way" the sentence may not be clear and uses colloquial language

@Sammi Brie: -- Howdy! I am working on this review (double nomination). I was able to validate the fact re: WLMT using the Electronic Media (Vol 10 Issue 2). I was able to validate the fact for WXMT as well. What I am missing is a statement that says that WXMT was renamed as WUXP or something equivalent. I will continue to look, but, please can you point that to me when you have a bit? Ktin (talk) 01:59, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: WUXP-TV meets eligibility criteria for newness. Article is well written. No concerns with tone. Earwig has no issues with tone. QPQ is done. No picture. Have an additional fact to verify once that is done the hook should be good to validate. Hook is interesting. Ktin (talk) 02:15, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: WLMT meets eligibility criteria. Promoted to GA and nominated within the time window. No concerns with tone. Hook is cited to EM magazine. No concerns with Earwig. QPQ done. Marking this approved. Ktin (talk) 02:15, 18 February 2024
