"Digitographics on the pot" station reference removed
What is a "digitographics on the pot" television station? The sentence in the opening paragraph defining KGTV as such has been removed. As a former broadcast engineer, I can only guess that the term is a slang or colloquial term within the TV industry for a station whose digital and virtual channel numbers are identical. Even if such is the case, it sounds nonsensical even to fellow engineers. The information on KGTV's PSIP and digital channels are in the Digital Television section and repeating it in the opening is unnecessary.

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material
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:


 * 1) WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
 * 2) As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
 * 3) WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
 * 4) Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

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) 15:57, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

News Team
Some issues were raised at Talk:WGN-TV, after which a group of editors there agreed that, per WP:NOTEVERYTHING, we shouldn't be listing all of the news staff--only anchors plus other staff who are notable enough for their own articles. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:14, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Iowa station with same call letters?
Look at this photograph of a grocery story in Ames, Iowa from 1954: http://www.ameshistoricalsociety.org/exhibits/tribune/08/51_1954.12_malanders_9th_street_grocery_employees_c.jpg Look at advertisement up near the top, beside the air duct, that says As Advertised. It mentions a TV station called KGTV. So apparently there was another station by that name in the Midwest, in the 50s. Who has more info? The Sanity Inspector (talk) 00:59, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
