Vintage TV
Could you provide a reason as to why you're undoing my edits to Vintage TV (TV channel)? - Jasmeet_181 (talk) 10:56, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

The channel does not any materials from the names you've been listing, e.g. DCD and ILikeMusic, and is not targeted to the "over 50s". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Driller007  (talk • contribs)  12:13, 26 April 2012 (UTC)


 * A simple Google search lists plenty of reliable sources which call it an over 50s channel. The references clearly indicated that Vintage TV has agreements in place with those companies and again a Google search finds multiple website confirming this,. They probably fall under what Vintage TV's website lists as "other world-renowned libraries". You are also undoing other changes such as using quotes for "Good Vibrations", inline with Manual of Style/Music and correcting http://www.freesat.co.uk/news-and-views/whats-new.html which leads to "Whoops We can't find the page you're looking for", with http://www.freesat.co.uk/files/9913/3301/7985/SHORTLIST_ANNOUNCED_FOR_FREESAT_AWARDS_2012.pdf. - Jasmeet_181 (talk) 14:00, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

OK. However, the channel is not now ('is') directed (or being watched) by a predominantly over-50s audience. Further, it is not (literally) using materials from those companies - whatever may have been inaccurately reported. Driller007 (talk) 14:12, 26 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Fair enough if the channel has changed (source?) but the article should at least mention that it started as a channel targeted at the over-50s, they received most of their press for that. Regardless of what you think of the library deals, they meet Wikipedia's guideline on reliable sources and verifiability policy. Digital Spy even have a quote from the chief executive of ILikeMusic, where he specifically discusses the channel, its unlikely to be a mistake. In fact most of the articles are probably rewrites from Vintage TV's own press releases, which is why they're all similar. Perhaps some of these deals may have lapsed since the the channel originally launched? I think a simple rewording to something like "When the channel launched it was primarily targeted at blah but has since begun to cover blah" etc. would probably solve things. - Jasmeet_181 (talk) 17:04, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
