Review

[edit]

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.

Spelling etc.

[edit]
Green tickY In History/The TVX Years should be "station's" for this sentence "The Taft stations purchase left TVX highly".
Green tickY MT Communications ownership section "it was in second-place to WZTV among" probably should not be hyphenated.
These two should be fixed. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 02:23, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead summary

[edit]
Green tickY The facts presented in the lead are repeated and cited in the article with one exception.
Green tickY 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.

Images

[edit]
Green tickY The article does not have images. There is a logo which appears to be correctly licensed

Citations

[edit]
History
Green tickY The TVX years - citations are all correct here
Green tickY MT Communications ownership - citations are all correct here
Green tickY 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 • tc) 20:33, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Green tickY News and public affairs
Green tickY Sports

Green tickY Subchannels
Green tickY ATSC 3.0
Green tickY Analog-to-digital conversion

Stable

[edit]
Green tickY Only 22 edits since February 2023 so the article is stable. No warring.

Wording that may need attention

[edit]
Green tickY Lead says "tight market" is that colloquial?
Green tickY TVX years says "stocked" and "in the running" might both be colloquial
Green tickY TVX years, "had been chosen, as had a tower site" maybe use "selected"?
Green tickY TVX years "The station affiliated that fall with the new Fox network" should is be "became" affiliated.
Green tickY 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
@Bruxton: Fixed all. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 06:57, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @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]
