Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis ( talk) 14:26, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
(Criteria marked are unassessed)
History
Coastal Carolina's proposed station got a call sign, WCRD, but little else, being unable to secure financing- OK
The president of Cosmos told The Sun News that the odds were long for Cosmos to actually be granted the channel- OK
The construction of WMBF cost Raycom an estimated $10 million- OK
Newscasts
In the station's early years, managers elsewhere were often instructed to seek advice from WMBF on technical issues related to HD news conversion- OK, but consider adding that it was managers from other Raycom stations.
WMBF was the first local station to launch weekend morning newscasts in the early 2010s- OK
WMBF was the first local station to launch weekend morning newscasts in the early 2010sto show it was the first, not the first in the early 2010s

Overall: @ Sammi Brie: Good article. Though, the first hook kind of confuses me. It makes it sound like WMBF is the first TV station in south carolina which i'm not exactly sure is the case. Simply, i kind of feel like alt0 is worded confusingly so i'd prefer a rewording. Onegreatjoke ( talk) 18:30, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
Can either @ Sammi Brie: or @ Nathan Obral: add a contour map of WMBF and its translators? Mvcg66b3r ( talk) 01:59, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
