Prose
(Lead is good)
 * Wikilink New Orleans.
 * Can I be a pedant and recommend "38 for comparative hearing—Oak Television of New Orleans,"? I have not seen from used in this context before.
 * Reworded differently.
 * "additional capital, the firm added 100 additional partners" – recommend rephrasing to avoid a repetition of additional.
 * Just curious, what is "(Hal)" referring to?
 * Hal is a bit of an old-fashioned nickname for Harold. He was usually known as Hal Protter.
 * Wikilink WGNO.
 * I would wikilink reruns, since it is not really a term commonly used anymore.
 * "After the newspaper printed the "piranhas" quote" – how about "In response to the "piranhas" quote"?
 * Leaving this here because the newspaper's handling was up for question in the articles at the time
 * Ah, I see!
 * "goods and services, not cash" – how about "goods and services instead of cash"? Ignore this suggestion if this is standard AM ENG however.
 * The sentence starting "While WNOL-TV had a strong 1984 …" is honestly a bit awkward.
 * "power to box WNOL-TV" – sorry, again not familiar with American English, is 'box' really formal?
 * "and WNOL-TV became the local affiliate of the new Fox …" reads awkwardly because of "and because" in the previous sentence.
 * "even before Black Monday" – it is wikilinked but how about "even before the Black Monday stock market crash" to save readers some effort?
 * How about "joint venture with Quincy Jones Entertainment Company".
 * That's the name of the JV.
 * My bad!
 * Wikilink prime time.
 * Rephrase "the door was open" for formality.
 * Wikilink WVUE to WVUE-DT.
 * "seeking the ABC affiliation" – wikilink ABC.
 * "In a September 18 article" – is there a reason you are noting this?
 * Yes, because of the mention of early September meetings. It was a full year before the affiliation was already announced.
 * "Canal Street offices to 23,000 square feet (2,100 m2)" – this is worded weirdly.
 * You could wikilink duopolies.
 * "and with a small alligator found stuck in a fence" - I do not think this is really noteworthy.
 * I use it here to indicate how bad the damage was. Added "fish", as in the source, because fish stuck in a fence might indicate some of the flooding.
 * Looks good.
 * Wikilink the CW.

Refs
Passes spotcheck on refs 7, 15, 22, 27, 37, 46 and 65.


 * For ref 68, I cannot seem to find where it mentions June 2007.
 * Fixed this by adding a new supporting reference. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 19:10, 14 August 2023 (UTC)


 * @LunaEatsTuna, everything should be handled. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 19:33, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Rec template:use American English (but optional)
