I should take on another station article! I should fully review this either by Saturday, August 5, or Sunday, August 6. Rolling through the other ones quickly because they are so good! Adog ( Talk・ Cont) 07:19, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
The following are suggestions for corrections to our editor-at-large. If these suggestions for grammar/sentence structure are not appropriate or improper, please disregard:
Channel 57 was allocated for commercial use in Philadelphia at the start of the 1970s and was fought over by two groups who both sought to broadcast subscription television (STV) programming to paying customers in the metropolitan area.could be split into two sentences. "1970s. It was fought over ..."
... and subscription service utilizing programming from SelecTV.An "a" could be placed before "subscription".
... a premium regional sports and movies service seeking to reach potential subscribers in areas beyond cable coverage such as the city of Philadelphia.Comma before "such"?
Paramount Stations Group then acquired WGBS-TV and became an owned-and-operated United Paramount Network (UPN) station in 1995.
WWSG-TV: The STV years
Vue-Metrics specified use of the Phonevision system by Zenith Electronics ..."the" before "use"?
... whose first service in Los Angeles had launched that March, and use equipment developed by one of ON TV's owners, Oak Industries.Omit comma before "and"?
The commission upheld his decision in October 1978.
... with the company opting to begin the process of erecting facilities in the Manayunk area in spite of Vue-Metrics ..."in spite of" to "despite"?
With FNN on air, the station aired financial programming and talk shows from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., when ...Remove comma after p.m.?
WGBS-TV: The Grant years
When Grant inquired as to who had the rights to air Villanova men's basketball ..."as to" may be omitted.
Channel 48 at the time was in the comparative hearing stage for ..."at the time" commas before and after or omit?
In July 1986, WTGI-TV launched from Wilmington, Delaware, but channel 57's relaunch eclipsed its original programming plan, and the station switched to a home shopping and later multicultural format.
Attempted sale to Fox (1993–1994)
News Corp's chairman, Rupert Murdoch, owned 76 percent of THC's stock in his own name ...omit "own"?
he became an American citizen in 1985 to buy U.S. television stations.
It was not until July 1995, when Fox won approval to buy television stations in Boston, Denver, and Memphis, Tennessee, that the foreign-ownership issue was solved ..."solved" to "resolved"? Maybe there is not much of a difference.
WPSG: Sale to Paramount and UPN affiliation (1994–2006)
Fox also entered into bidding for WCAU, just in case New World's offer fell through or New World chose to affiliate WCAU with NBC.
CBS-owned KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh had taken on the operational responsibility for WNPA in that city.
Return to independence (2023)
... with its channels being hosted in ATSC 1.0 form among Philadelphia's other stations.omit "being"?
The article looks awesome with a skim through the first time! I have some comments above and below. I will read through it one more time and do the spot checks on the second round. No doubt this article is on its way! Adog ( Talk・ Cont) 18:08, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
... from the late 1990s to the late 2000s, Flyers, Philadelphia 76ers basketball, and Philadelphia Phillies baseball games were seen on channel 57."seen" to "broadcasted" or "aired"?
The initial decision was not an immediate green light to start buildingconsider adding "given" before "an"?
... there were fewer than 50 installed households, all of them station employees.consider adding "belonging to" before "station"?
@ Sammi Brie: That is all from me. Let me know if there is anything you would like for me to look at. Another good read. I cannot comprehend how many hands a single station can go throughout its lifetime. Nor the parts and deals it has to make for broadcasting certain events such as sports. This was a blast from my past, rescanning a TV. I have not heard of that in a couple of years. We do not have cable anymore, so that is probably why. Never been to Phili, but this makes me appreciate the work put into local stations.
Out of GAN comment: I did not get to address your comment after I closed Talk:WNYO-TV/GA1. Yes! Awesome! Keep it up! You are doing some important work! Never would I thought about a local station in-depth, but after seeing your contributions, they are quite methodically crafted and piqued my interest! Unfortunately, roller coasters are kinda the same in terms of quality. However, roller coasters are not nearly as essential as local providers of news and entertainment (throwback to COVID and shutdowns). I might claim those other two reviews depending on how much time I have this coming week and if I get a new job. :) Adog ( Talk・ Cont) 20:07, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
The article cites a list of reliable sources that come from a variety of origins. The list is properly formatted and I did not see any outstanding issues. Earwig does not pick up anything besides quotations. Adog ( Talk・ Cont) 18:08, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
The article has a good and well-written format with only minor grammatical and structural changes up to the editor. The article complies with a proper manual of style. The article is broad in scope and has a focused narrative. I did not find any issues with original research. The article is neutral in tone. Adog ( Talk・ Cont) 20:09, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
The article is illustrated by images that are relevant, and the paperwork is good. The article is stable. The recent history displays proper reverts either because of policy errors, vandalism, or unexplained edits. Adog ( Talk・ Cont) 18:08, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
