WLMT-DT2 RTV & MyNetworkTV[edit]

I recently found this program guide from Zap2It and it shows on WLMT-DT2 that the subchannel airs MyNetworkTV programming on Monday-Thursday from 8pm-10pm. And the Friday Block is aired on Saturday from 10pm-midnight. At other times it airs RTV programming. Csworldwide1 (talk) 07:08, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll review this over the next few days!

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

On the whole this article looks great!

Earwig doesn't show any copying
The article is readable, clear, neutral, and thoroughly cited (with small omissions noted below)
I found two statements that weren't clearly cited:
- The lede says the station is broadcast from Shelby Oaks Corporate Park, but this isn't cited or mentioned in the body.
  - This is fixed by adding to the body; it is in reference Comm130507.
- The infobox says the MT call sign is named for Michael Thompson. The body says that Michael Thompson owned MT Communications, and that the call sign comes from the company, but I didn't catch anything that said MT Communications was actually named after him. The body also talks about Memphis Telecasters, which has the same initials, so it's not obvious he's the source of the name.
  - This was fixed by adding a second call to the ref about WMTU in Jackson. Not to be confused with Memphis Telecasters, whose construction permit did not result in a station. (For more information on the people involved in that company, see my GA at WCNC-TV)
I spot checked 18 randomly chosen citations. Only one major concern, and one minor one:
- Citation 65 doesn't seem to support that Tegna bought WLMT. The source only says that Tegna bought 11 stations while E.W. Scripps bought 8. Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't specify that WLMT was one of the 11.
  - Added a ref that specifically indicates each divestiture. (Fun fact: 8 of the 19 divested stations have been rewritten)
- Citation 66 doesn't say the news station was called News Watch 30. This is a minor quibble, since other citations in the same paragraph do give that name.
  - Added a more specific ref.
For images, there's only a single picture of the logo. Any other pictures it might make sense to add?
- Free-use images of TV stations are not always available. Especially relating to secondary stations. I do a search for appropriate images every time I raise a page to GA-level, and this one turned up empty.

Improved to Good Article status by Sammi Brie (talk). Self-nominated at 20:00, 8 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/WUXP-TV; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Starting review now. Updates to follow. Ktin (talk) 17:39, 17 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]
