Prose and MoS

Lede

• Well written, no issues.

History

• Hyperlink 1948 freeze to Federal Communications Commission#Freeze of 1948
  • Done
• WSKY was out of the contest by August 1953,, "out of the contest" kind of informal? Would like to know an explanation :)
  • Fixed. Informality tends to crop up from time to time in my work...
• By July, work was under way on the Mount Pisgah transmitter facility, and a September 18 start date goal had been set;[13] WLOS-TV had signed for affiliation with ABC and the DuMont Television Network.[14], what year? If it's in 1954 you could use By July of the same year... or specify.
  • Fixed with mention earlier.
• Citizen-Times option,..., he Citizen-Times option through his other broadcast property,..., italicize Citizen-Times?
  • I am referring to the company, not the newspaper of the same name, which it owned.
• AnchorMedia, mentions of the company should be spaced into "Anchor Media" on the sources given ([36] and [37]).
  • I will object because the papers cited are in the wrong. The company's own logo CamelCases this name. Trade journals do too.
• It also was something of a consolation prize;, outmuscled, informal but would like to hear a reason why this is so.
  • Changed.

Programming

• It also was initially the smallest of the three TV newsrooms in the region., change to it was also.
• a news bureau in Spartanburg., hyperlink Spartanburg.
  • These two fixed.
• AnchorMedia, mentions of the company should be spaced into "Anchor Media."
  • See above.

Technical information

• FCC, hyperlink.

References

• Add access dates on refs, [1], [3], [43]
  • [1] is generated by infobox. [3] is technically a "print" source that does not need accessdate.
    • Fair enough.
• Would be nice to link refs [55], [66]
  • [55] and [66] were in unlinkable NewsBank full-text databases. In the time since this article was written and even since this was nominated, GenealogyBank (a NewsBank sister site) has added this paper full-run, so this is now possible.
    • Got it.
• No original research.

Spotchecks

• Manual checking, earwig, both shows nothing. Pass.

Images

• All images have proper licenses and captions.
• No copyright violations in the images.
• Would be nice if we put some images of the notable former on-air staff on the Programming section.
  • I've never had this floated at me, and while it might work for a few articles where the people had longer stays at the station or became really famous (e.g. maybe Tom Brokaw at KTIV), it really doesn't with this crew.

Misc.

• Article has no ongoing edit war, stable.
