Independent and NCE stations

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

KMOH-TV, KCFG and KMCC are not independent stations. Each is affiliated with the network displayed, and clears its network's entire schedule. MTV Tr3s, America One and Multimedios Television are true networks and should be designated as such in the table. KDTP is not an ETV station; there is no such network in Arizona. The station is a Daystar Television Network O&O. Daystar is the proper network and, again, should be designated as such. The fact that Holbrook channel 11 is an NCE allocation is no more significant than the fact that Phoenix channel 8 and Tucson channels 6 and 27 are. PBS is not synonymous with educational TV. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 01:57, 8 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Confusing presentation of RF channels and virtual channels

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The tables on this page are inconsistent and can be confusing.

The first table has "VC" (virtual channel) and "RF" (rf channel) in that order.
The last two tables have "ch" (analog channel), "DT" (rf channel), and "VC" (virtual channel) in that order. Note the confusing reversal of rf and virtual columns.

When the headers are not visible, it is difficult to remember which channel column is which. I'd like to recommend that all channel columns are combined into one with the following format:

Analog channels would indicate their RF channel# with "analog" noted parenthetically, e.g. "9 (analog)"
Digital channels would indicate their RF channel# with virtual channels noted parenthetically, e.g "32 (13-1, 13-2, 13-3)"

Advantages of this format:

Consistent presentation for all three tables.
Virtual channels are easily distinguished from RF channels because the X-Y format is used for virtuals.
Virtual channels are easily searchable. To see what's on 13-2 in Arizona, search the page for "13-2"
Eliminates the need to scroll to the header row to figure out what the current raw integers mean.

I'd be happy to make the changes if nobody objects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdrianBoyko (talk • contribs) 18:19, 8 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
