New Logo
OPB just re-branded itself recentley.

If possible, could someone update the article with new logo and recent developments? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bentoman (talk • contribs) 06:44, 20 February 2007 (UTC).

Translators
The channels the translators are running on needs to be listed and they need to be added to the categories for low power the channels. Right now none of them are listed.

Kristian Foden-Vencil
An article was created at the page Kristian Foden-Vencil. Can this article be copied/pasted/incorporated into this main OPB article? It appears Kristian Foden-Vencil does not meet WP:GNG guidelines. If his biography is not appropriate here on the OPB page, it will be removed and made a simple redirect. I don't want to just dump the information onto this page. thanks &mdash; Gaff ταλκ 17:28, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Podcasts
Is anyone opposed to me making a section dedicated to podcasts? There are separate pages for Bundyville and Timber Wars, but neither of them are mentioned here. Searching for OPB on podcasting apps pulls up quite a few other podcasts that have been produced by OPB such as Think Out Loud, OPB Politics Now, Relative Fiction, This Land is Our Land, State of Wonder, and OPB Music. Assuming a few sources could be found for each of them perhaps we could include short entries about them. TipsyElephant (talk) 17:46, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure if this clarifies that this is the same show, rather than something in a similar style. Maybe wording something like "also began distributing ... as a podcast?"  Maybe the current wording is clear to everyone else. LittlePuppers (talk) 23:41, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Proposed: New Section
OPB has received numerous industry awards for its journalism and storytelling, including Regional Emmys from the Northwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Northwest Excellence in Journalism Awards, Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards from the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA), John B. Oakes Award from the Columbia School of Journalism, MIT Knight Science Journalism Program’s Victor K. McElheny Award, Telly Awards, Online News Association (ONA) Online Journalism Awards, Gracie Awards, Associated Press Television-Radio Association (APTRA) Awards, National Headliner Awards and more. jdbauxt (talk) 22:12, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Text to change: Please add a new section entitled "Awards & Recognition" after Podcasting section with text as follows:
 * Reason for change: Clarity and maintainability.
 * References: Included in text.
 * ❌ May be promotional. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 00:54, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for having a look. Please note I had previously submitted another COI edit request (still active) to remove the bulleted list of awards in History/21st century section. The thinking is that instead of listing all the awards ever won by OPB, we would simply give a good general representation here along with a link out to a more comprehensive list. With that in mind, what do you suggest? jdbauxt (talk) 06:05, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Jdbauxt I am joining this a little late after running across Agnes in another context. My suggestion would be to focus on national journalism awards, such as the Peabody (you have one, from 2009) and duPont–Columbia (you have one, also from 2009). This will reduce the massive cruft that any other use of awards would represent. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 19:04, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
