Ratings

The claim that WVUE was consistently 3rd in local ratings is not sourced and possibly overstated. If you can produce links to WVUE's Nielsen ratings or trade magazine articles for the 1970s-1980s, please link to them. Otherwise, this claim is invalid and should be removed. Thanks.Kc64 (talk) 22:20, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WJMR/WVUE not 3rd Station in Louisiana

I believe KFAZ, Channel 43 in Monroe was #3 in Louisiana...take a look at the 54/55 Telecasting Yearbook listings for Louisiana... http://www.davidgleason.com/Archive%20BC-YB/1954-1955%20TV/101-200%20BC%20TV%20Annual%201954-55.pdf KFAZ (pg 144) was on the air 11 Aug 53, WJMR (pg 146) was on the air 1 Nov 53.

Sale

The station has been for sale for more than a year now, can we get that on the article?? WizardDuck 15:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

clarification of channel's occupied.

http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:MMdMlnRI2_gJ:www.mcsittel.com/html/tvg-gc.htm+KK2XFW-TV&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a

http://www.walkerpub.com/radio_memories_email3.html

These reference imply that in 1957 WJMR-TV operated on Channel 20 while simultaneously broadcasting as KK2XFW-TV on Channel 12.

To the best of my memory for a while KK2XFW-TV broadcast on Channel 13 until WLOX-TV went on the air and station returned to channel 12 where eventually WJMR-TV was assigned to Channel 12 72.204.152.47 (talk) 16:56, 26 May 2009 (UTC) J.R.Bentley[reply]

I have a run of Louisiana edition TV Guides. WVUE changed from 13 to 12 in 1962. In Feb. they are still on 13, but by Sept. they have moved to 12. My earliest Louisiana TV Guide is from November of 1960 and the call letters listed are WVUE. They were not WJMR until 1965 as listed in this article.

The Times Picayune TV listings for February 13, 1959 lists the call letters as WVUE which is further proof that those calls were in place prior to 1965. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.141.93 (talk) 04:30, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good article. I've been researching 50's North Louisiana and East Texas TV, and have run across this resource... http://www.davidgleason.com/Broadcasting_Yearbook_Summary_Page.htm Try looking in the 54/55 and 57/58 telecasting Yearbooks at the end of the listing, and the 1960 and later Broadcasting yearbooks (which include TV) at the beginning. I'll bet between the Yearbooks, and the weekly Broadcasting magazine issues for the 50's and 60's listed here: http://www.davidgleason.com/Broadcasting%20Individual%20Issues%20Guide.htm you can find the exact dates for channel and callsign changes.Sparky4853397 (talk) 23:33, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Retro TV Subchannel

Your article states that WVUE is adding a digital subchannel for Retro TV. But I've tried to find an 8.3 or Retro TV and could find neither. When exactly is WVUE going to add Retro TV as a subchannel? If so, will it be 8.2 or 8.3? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.62.209.129 (talk) 04:58, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PSIP

Someone is changing the phrasing of virtual channel references from "Through the use of PSIP" to "However". This reduces the quality of the article as it suggests that it is unknown how a virtual channel is established. The editor should identify him/herself and explain the merits of this change. In the interim, I will revert all NOLA TV pages back. Sore bluto (talk) 19:12, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material

Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. 70.48.216.22 (talk) 19:07, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fox 8

I added "also known as Fox 8", because I believe it is. I came here related to putting a Fox 8 source into Winnsboro, Louisiana article. And WVUE-DT is listed in Fox 8 (disambiguation). But my change was immediately reverted by User:Mvcg66b3r without explanation. Why? --Doncram (talk,contribs) 23:34, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I partially restored your edit (re-phrased as "branded on-air as Fox 8"). If I offended you, my apologies. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 23:43, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"branded on-air as Fox 8", with bolding as you put it in (suggesting that is an alternate name), is fine. Thanks! --Doncram (talk,contribs) Doncram (talk,contribs) 01:43, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
