The opening sentence is a little unclear:

CKVU's history dates back to 1975, when Western Approaches Ltd. was awarded the third license for a Vancouver television station by the CRTC.

Third license for the city? For the company? Just thought that could use a bit of clarification. --216.13.216.218 21:22, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I took out the part about CityNews International. My understading is that there is such a program; however CHUM is running it as a segment A Channel news @ 6 and not on CKVU.  I'm in the building right now, and that is the buzz I hear. --Globalist1789 21:16, 10 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I would guess that the "third licence for the city" part is implied. Starbuck-2 05:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Elimination of local news
In July 2006 CHUM-City laid off a bunch of workers at CKVU and shut down most of its local news office. This should be mentioned in the article somewhere. 23skidoo 16:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

"Personalities"
The term "personalities" is industry jargon used to describe people who appear on-air, but it is not appropriate fora n encyclopedia article. It does not describe what they do, and it is obnoxious -- everyone has a personality, not just people on TV. I proposed "presenters", which is used by the British media and by CBC, but that doesn't seem to be accepted by other editors. Here is another suggestion: "Hosts and reporters". I think this covers the people on the list, and it describes what they do, unlike "personalities". Comments? Ground Zero | t 12:39, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The term "personality" is used in this case to define a celebrity (which the news anchors, reporters and show hosts technically are), not what you're otherwise defining. Creativity-II (talk) 03:56, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * So do agree with "Hosts, anchors and reporters" as the heading? Or how about "On-air staff", which I think also would be cleaer than the vague and jargony "Personalities"? Ground Zero | t 10:44, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps that should be left up to other editors, but they most likely might choose to stick with the status quo. Creativity-II (talk) 03:30, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * There has been no objection to "On-air staff" over the two weeks that this discussion has been open. I think it is clear, neutral and non-jargony. So I will be bold and make the change. If anyone objects, we can have the discussion here. Ground Zero | t 15:49, 23 April 2010 (UTC)::::Also, the heading "Former personalities" makes it sound like a list of people who have had lobotomies. I think those people still have personalities even if they are no longer on TV. Ground Zero | t 15:52, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
