PBS NewsHour → PBS News Hour – Following last week's rebrand (https://www.newscaststudio.com/2024/06/10/pbs-news-rebranding/), "News Hour" is now two different words. JE98 (talk) 14:42, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oppose - Doesn't seem worth moving over a single space. A redirect to this page would suffice. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 14:52, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support per nomination. The PBS website does indeed indicate the program's title as "News Hour", not "NewsHour". Users typing PBS NewsHour should be redirected to PBS News Hour. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 21:10, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support per nom. The name needs to be updated. PuppyMonkey (talk) 22:56, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support. In addition to the NewscastStudio reference, the show began writing "News Hour" as two words – when written in a single line, not only in the (two-line) logo – in all of its graphics last week, so PBS News Hour is clearly now the official name. Given that this article concerns an existing program that is putting out new broadcasts regularly, we should change to the new spelling even though (for the time being) almost all of the cited references use the camel-case "NewsHour" spelling. SJ Morg (talk) 08:39, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support Official PBS News website (current name for digital and social media platforms) did confirmed the name change as PBS "News Hour" in two words, no longer just one word. We should just moved the page boldly, although in meantime, some references still use single word name ("Newshour"), the single-word version will fallen in use eventually. 2404:8000:1037:456:E455:A216:3F71:20F0 (talk) 10:06, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
