I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 14:47, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. (If you're wondering why there's so much subscription television, it's because there's a Good Topic brewing—and this article is part of it...) Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 18:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

No images to review; sources are reliable. Sammi, let me know if you want to take any of these to FAC eventually and would like me to give feedback beyond what I would comment on at GAN. I'm fairly lenient on prose at GAN because the criteria only say clear and correct, not well-written; I can add FAC-level comments if you want me to. Though your prose is fairly clean and I doubt I'd have much to add.
 * I don't follow the story in the second half of the first para of "KECH". The "third planned station" is presumably KLRK, though we don't actually say that.  KLRK is being purchased by Camellia.  Black and KECH file a petition to deny the sale to KECH?  That makes no sense -- KECH files against itself?
 * I realize I got tangled up in my own story. They filed to deny the sale to Camellia, to which Camellia countered that KECH had attempted to undercut their proposal.
 * That makes more sense. Reading it again I still don't quite get it.  Why is "Camellia was involved before the sale's completion" a ground for complaint?  What does "involved" mean here?  And why would Black undercutting a bid be a valid countercomplaint?  Undercutting bids is normal business practice; are there specific regulations being violated here?

 * Yes. Made that clearer. Camellia's trying to raise a stink, and so are the KECH people. Unauthorized transfers of control are a big no-no: take a look at WMGA (AM) and KARW (Texas), for instance. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 20:34, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll pass this in that case. If there's a natural link for "FCC rules" to somewhere that talks about this regulation that would be helpful. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 20:37, 20 August 2022 (UTC)


 * This is a question based on my ignorance of the industry. When you say Willamette STV and Oak Communications "constructed" the last ON TV system, what were they constructing?  A physical broadcasting location?  A business arrangement?  Given that this part of the article is about KECH I assumed the STV was broadcast, encrypted, using the same transmitter, but maybe construction refers to something additional?
 * Changed from "constructed" to "begin service"


 * "Ion donated KPXG-LD (channel 42), a translator previously used to improve the station's signal": what's a translator? Is there anything in the glossary it can be linked to?
