Talk:WCCB

Untitled

Just wondering...should the history of the 1950's station on Channel 36 be here, or on WCNC's page? Neither station has a direct historical connection to the original station, but WCNC is the current occupant of Channel 36, so it seems more relevant over there. JTRH 13:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Fox Charlotte now seems to be beta testing out a new site design using the commonly used myfox layout at www.myfoxcharlotte.com Should this be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.68.44.29 (talk) 20:46, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

"Number One Fox Affiliate"

I removed the "number one Fox affiliate" statement, even though the writer lists Nielsen as its source. While the station puts that on their billboards (and cites Nielsen in very small type), WCCB didn't respond to my request for clarifying details (Number one for network programming? all day?) and there's nothing on the publicly available portions of the nielsenmedia.com Website to corroborate this claim. Furthermore, at least one other Fox affiliate makes the same statement. Even if WCCB is the #1 Fox affiliate in America, they're either the third- or fourth-highest-rated station in Charlotte (depending on where WCNC is). JTRH 00:34, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Wccb fox18 charlotte oldlogo.jpg

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Call letters

This article has stated for years that the call letters stand for "Charlotte Cy Bahakel." However, the WCCB calls were previously used on a station in Montgomery, Alabama (now WNCF) which Bahakel eventually bought. He then changed that station's calls and moved the WCCB calls to his new acquisition in Charlotte. So it sounds to me like a coincidence, if not a retronym, that the calls of the Charlotte station happen to include the initials of the city of license and the original owner.
