The KGCW simulcast on 18.2 is now in 16:9 sd widescreen, so if somebody could update that soon, that would be really helpful; thanks. 50.81.159.107 (talk) 22:25, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in KLJB[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of KLJB's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "tvnc-nexstarspinoffs":

From WLMT: "Nexstar Selling 19 TVs In 15 Markets For $1.32B". TVNewsCheck. NewsCheckMedia. March 20, 2019. Retrieved March 20, 2019.
From WZDX: "Nexstar Selling 19 TVs In 15 Markets For $1.32B". TVNewsCheck. NewsCheckMedia. March 20, 2019. Retrieved March 20, 2019.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:54, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Earwig says good to go. No concerns from me either.

Files[edit]

Prose[edit]

In § Early history, wikilink Rock Island, Orion, Quad Cities and Fox as their first mentions in the body.
"(picking up Channel America programming to fill the void)," – I believe the citation should go after the punctuation instead of before the parentheses.
- Specific choice here as the citation only covers the material in parentheses.
"WBQD-LP, a low-power UPN affiliate" – "low-power" (at least in this sentence) sounds rather strange to me; is an alternative word choice available?
- No, unfortunately. Low-power is a class of TV station in the United States (notice the -LP ending to the call letters).
  - Oh I see now!
"In an unusual arrangement, the production of the newscast was outsourced to Davenport" – very picky concern but how about removing the to make the sentence flow more smoothly?
"For EBI Video, the KLJB partnership" – looking at the rest of the article, I believe this sentence should now say "EBI" for consistency.

References[edit]

Passes spotcheck on refs 7; 15; 20; 35; 42 and 50.

Add url=dead on refs 27 and 28.
- The articles are still live at new URLs.
  - Thanks for adding them!
Some citations for the Quad-City Times include the location parameter whilst others do not; is there a reason for this?
- Code changes/inconsistencies in PressPass. The location parameter only worked in one way of getting the citation and I used two methods. (Said method no longer works at all thanks to changes in newspapers.com.) Did some cleanup here to make them more consistent.
