UHF status trivial?
I disagree with that assessment. Most Big Three television stations in large markets are not UHF, and the reason that it is UHF (because the previous NBC affiliate chose to pick another network) is noteworthy. See this article from San Diego magazine: For years, the station {KNSD) blamed the problem on its dial position-UHF Channel 39 was out of the traditional 2-to-13 VHF range. In addition, the same facts are in the WVIT and WNCN articles. Thus, the paragraph was readded.

Re: UHF status trivial?
At this point, with the proliferation of cable and satellite, and the advent of digital television, such a reference is trivial. Heck, it was trivial from the get-go. Last time I checked, San Diego County is one of the most heavily cabled areas in the country (an average of four out of five households), so how many people are watching KNSD on over-the-air channel 39 as opposed to cable channel 7? Twenty to 25 percent, while still a significant figure, isn't enough of a number to make this a big deal. Twenty years ago, this would have been a big deal, but it just isn't anymore.

Let's put this tidbit aside for a future version of "TV Station Trivial Pursuit". Rollosmokes 06:05, 6 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Except that it was cited in a major magazine article as being relevant to the station's history (see above). Obviously, it is a verifiable fact, and I have other citations about how the station placement affected the station in terms of gaining advertising revenue and ratings. Therefore, it's still relevant, but I will wait a few days for some other consensus before putting it back in with the noted citations. Calwatch 07:20, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:KNSD SAN DIEGO.gif
Image:KNSD SAN DIEGO.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Rebranding
Over the past few days, Artie Ojeda has been tweeting about a rebranding that is unfolding at this station. I am watching the 11:00 news on KNSD right now, and while I missed the opening, I do notice the bug (?) at the lower right does not refer to "7/39" anymore, but "San Diego". Looks like this article will need to be updated accordingly, but I am not done seeing all the forms of the new brand, so I am not going to touch the wiki right now. Anybody else knowledgable about this rebranding can go ahead and edit as necessary. YellowAries2010 (talk) 07:13, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I wrote the article on this station for the UHF History site, and I never found anything published, either in trade publications or the local newspapers, that said "KCST" stood for "California San Diego Television". I don't know how to add a "citation needed" flag, though.

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) 02:53, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

KNBC in the sister station?
KNBC should be listed in the sister stations because it overlaps! ACMEWikiNet (talk) 12:57, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

I think it should be noted that David Gleason (who runs the American Radio History Site) changes the way he archives individual magazine pages from time to time, and there is a disclaimer NOT to use links to the specific pages for that reason. I politely suggest that trying to fix links that go dead for that reason is an exercise in futility.

Newscoptor 39 picture, fair use?
