Talk:WVNS-TV

Decidedly not NPOV
The statement "cable is a must for acceptable television in this market" reads as propaganda from cable companies rather than fact. Perhaps that was true when I was a kid and we only got ABC (WOAY 4), NBC (WVVA 6), CBS (WDBJ 7), and PBS (WSWP 9) with our antenna, but now with subchannels, you can get dozens of channels with an antenna (including channels you used to have to have cable to get), easily making cable come up short in a cost/benefit analysis.

Also, in the same paragraph, you state "It was also hamstrung by a UHF signal, in a market where the market's stations were dominant and all carried in VHF, which propagates better across the region's mountainous and rugged terrain," which is odd, because WVNS is currently transmitted via a VHF signal; in fact, the only stations in the market that are VHF are WVNS and WSWP (also the hardest to pick up with modern antennas, which are optimized for UHF). Well, at least that sentence is past-tense (where the cable propaganda is present-tense), but a clarification might be in order.
