Merger proposal
I propose merging the article WNNE into WPTZ, because they are essentially one station now. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 11:48, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Disagree. WNNE is a separate station with a unique history in its own right. Although it is a satellite of WPTZ, the articles do not have to be merged. KansasCity (talk) 00:42, 22 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Oppose: WP:BROADCAST suggests that a station (such as WNNE) that was once a full-fledged station and only later became a rebroadcaster/translator/satellite is generally still treated as a separate station for the purposes of having any potential presumption of independent notability from its present parent station (i.e. WPTZ). (After all, notability is not temporary.) WNNE-TV was completely separate from WPTZ, both in operation and ownership, from 1978 to 1990, and even after the stations came under common ownership and WNNE became a satellite of WPTZ from a regulatory standpoint, WNNE still produced its own newscasts until 2001 (and some Upper Valley-specific news inserts seem to have remained in WNNE's simulcasts of WPTZ newscasts as late as 2007) — even a satellite/rebroadcaster that still does (or once did) some local programming separate from the parent station can get the presumption of notability that a station that has been a satellite/rebroadcaster of another station from day one cannot. -- WC  Quidditch  &#9742;   &#9998;  22:37, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Disagree WNNE has a significant history that would either be lost in a merger or would make the merged story very confusing.

While they should not be merged, please note that as of August, 2018, WNNE has been completely merged into WPTZ and the transmitter is going off the air.
