  • @Nathan Obral and Sammi Brie: I wasn't able to find in the article where it says Baker ordered the closure of the station, as stated in the hook. Can you quote the text from the article? Thanks, Z1720 (talk) 19:30, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
  • @Z1720: You're reading the hook wrong. They were ordered off the air by the FCC; the marquee was lit on Baker's orders. Look for the paragraph starting Despite the station ceasing operations... Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 19:46, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
  • So the hook is saying that the owner is closing the lit marquee? My interpretation after reading the hook is that it is stating that the owner ordered the closure of the TV station. I wonder if I would be the only one that would read this hook in this way. Suggesting some ALTs below:
@Sammi Brie: Thoughts? Z1720 (talk) 19:55, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
  • @Z1720: Of those two, I'd strongly support ALT0b over a. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 20:27, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Readding tick, strong preference for ALT0b. Z1720 (talk) 20:29, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
