Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 20:09, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Infobox and lead

edit
  • Infobox looks good.
  • Excellent lead (well-sourced and of reasonable length)!

History of channel 3 in Salem

edit
  • Remove the comma after "Salem in 1952".
  • "Telecasters's" → "Telecasters'"
  • I consider "Salem Telecasters" a singular noun per MOS:POSS, so I left this as is.
  • No other issues (also well-sourced).

KVDO-TV as a commercial independent

edit
  • "telecasting February" → "telecasting on February"
  • "first ever" → "first-ever"
  • "with quality" → "with the quality"
  • Remove the comma after "$410,000".

Sale to OEPBS

edit
  • "by Oregon Educational" → "by the Oregon Educational"
  • Remove the comma after "lead by December".
  • Add a comma after "two newscasts"
  • "prime time" → "primetime" or "prime-time"

Public KVDO

edit
  • "including of the" → "including the"
  • "of channel 16, while" → "for channel 16 while"
  • "Deschutes County" → "Deschutes County's"
  • That hatnote at the bottom seems out of place. Move it somewhere else, or a #See_also section can be made.

References

edit
  • Try archiving sources (especially those from Newspapers.com, which will disappear if the title changes).
