Colorado Public Television → KBDI-TV – Our naming conventions for broadcasting stations specify that article titles should reflect the official call letters assigned to the station. We generally only title articles at the branding for articles about state networks; e.g. Rocky Mountain PBS. However, KBDI-TV is the only full-power station that carries Colorado Public Television; its other transmitters are translator stations. In mountainous areas such outlying translators are necessary to cover the entire market; indeed, KCNC-TV and KUSA actually have more translators than KBDI, but per the aforementioned naming conventions those articles are not going to be retitled "CBS 4 Denver" or "9 News". State networks also include full-power stations that serve as either full-time satellites or semi-satellites of the flagship station; KBDI has no satellites, so Colorado Public Television, despite its wide-reaching name, is not a state network and its article should reflect the official KBDI-TV call letters. Yes, for branding purposes they are "formerly KBDI", but as far as the FCC is concerned it's still KBDI-TV, and our naming conventions say the article should reflect that. (Note that this article was previously moved from KBDI-TV to CPT12 and back, so that's why I'm putting in a move request as opposed to actually moving it back despite it being technically possible; the move to Colorado Public Television is the second time this article's page title has been attempted to synch with the branding instead. I'm also curious as to what most viewers refer to the station, if that plays a role…) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 22:19, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Article title

Per the Recognizability component of Wikipedia:Article titles, this article should be named what all its viewers know it as: Colorado Public Television. The previous name of KDBI hasn't been used in almost two years. --Pmsyyz (talk) 07:29, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

American Graduate:

As part of a national, Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) American Graduate initiative, CPT12 is honored to be helping young people tell their stories, finding their voice, revealing their truth and learning valuable skills in the process. More than fact and figures, we believe that compelling storytelling is key to helping our community understand the dropout crisis and the impact that individuals, families and organizations can have when they really hear about students in crisis. Helping kids be heard is the foundation for our American Graduate initiative; to foster understanding, open hearts and inspire action so that together we can find solutions.
