WPRI forces WGME to 38
This is completley incorrect. WGME could have gone back to channel 13, however they would have been forced to use a lesser signal, protecting the WPRI-DT allocation. This is due to the rules enacted by the FCC. The strange accusation that WPRI somehow forced WGME to stay on UHF 38 is completley false, and incorrect information to be posted on here, thus I have removed it. 68.228.148.235 (talk) 08:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

WNAC does not sign off the air. I work in videotape there and can confirm that WNAC does not sign off the air, and thus I edited the post. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.221.71.52 (talk) 01:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Pinpoint weather channel.jpg
Image:Pinpoint weather channel.jpg 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

LIN standard logos?
Per former content at the article for LIN TV-owned WDTN in Dayton, OH, and a question at "Talk:WDTN":

The logos used by WDTN, WPRI-TV, WNAC-TV and former LIN station WAND in Decatur/Springfield/Champaign/Urbana, IL, are very similar.

My operating theory is, as former logos are retired, LIN either does or did employ common station branding. Can this theory be proved or disproved? If it was LIN policy, was it only applied to certain stations?

KMID, in Midland/Odessa, TX, has no apparent connection to the LIN stations. Is its similar logo just a coincidence or is it an example of reusing a public domain logo?

If anyone has any insight on this and/or sources proving or disproving, please let me know here. Thanks. --Chaswmsday (talk) 14:15, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Tagged what seems to be irrelevant prose in most of a paragraph about competitors' operations, which appears to go beyond comparisons with the subject of this article. --Chaswmsday (talk) 13:23, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The wording of that section also sounds like it was written by a sales employee of WJAR as well. NECRAT Speak to me 04:23, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
