Logo change necessary

First Coast News debuted a new logo combining the ABC and NBC logos in the fall of 2017. The new individual station logos are as follows:

• A logo containing the letters NBC, a number 12, and the NBC peacock next to the callsign for WTLV.
• A logo containing the ABC logo and the callsign for WJXX.

Does anyone have any of those new logos? J4lambert (talk) 21:53, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

New WJXX logo

WJXX debuted a new logo in 2021.

• What an article! I actually enjoyed reading that; thanks for writing it! I have added some comments below and placed this GAN on hold for now until my concerns have been addressed. Please ping me once you have done so so that I may know when to reevaluation. Thanks, 𓃦LunaEatsTuna (💬) 05:23, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

  @LunaEatsTuna All changes should have been handled here and at transcluded sections of First Coast News. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:52, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

  Thanks for the fast response and the PDFs via Discord! I am now happy to pass this article for GA status. Congrats! 𓃦LunaEatsTuna (💬) 07:21, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Prose

• "south of Jacksonville." – wikilink Jacksonville as first mention in the body.
• "Clay filed an application for construction permit to build the proposed station." missing an a?
• "Principals in Clay Television consisted of Richard Fellows, a former city manager in Green Cove Springs and Orange Park, and his son, as well as three Clay County physicians and their wives." – is there a reason for Fellows' son to be mentioned separately here? It feels a bit jaded; how about "[…] Green Cove Springs and Orange Park, his son, and three Clay County physicians and their wives."?
• "other stations assigned call signs that same day include WYDC in Corning, New York, and WYDO in Greenville, North Carolina." – is this sentence relevant?
• "By August, when the FCC approved" – recommending adding a year here (I presume 1996?). The previous paragraph mentions 1997 which initially confused me.
• "as well as ABC's network news and soap operas." – I would wikilink soap operas.
• "leaving Allbritton with two remaining tasks: installing the permanent transmitter facility and constructing local studios and hiring a news team." – I know what it means but having what appears to be three separate things listed does not seem ideal. Perhaps a period comma could avoid any confusion?
• "Further, historically, Jacksonville had been a poor market for the ABC television network." – I may be mistaken, but should it not be 'Furthermore' here?
• "a restriction that typically prevented Big Four network affiliates from coming under common ownership" – could Big Four be wikilinked to somewhere?
• "In 2002, the news department of Fox affiliate" – I would wikilink Fox.

Refs

Because there are not really any refs used repeatedly, I decided to spotcheck at random—no concerns with refs 3, 6, 12, 25, 40, 44 or 55; they all support the article's content. Note that I could not find access to refs 27 or 64, which I had randomly selected during the spotcheck. I found one concern:

• Ref 58, published 1985, says that Jeannie Blaylock had just joined as a weekend anchor, but the text says "anchor (since 2000)".
  • There's a very specific reason why this is the case in context. She joined WTLV in 1985. WTLV's news operation was copy-pasted over to WJXX in March 2000, with its existing news personalities (and a few from WJXX). See more information below!
• Could anymore details be added to the citation template for ref 6?
• Refs 18 and 61 appear to be a dead links.
  • 61 is url-status=dead now. 18 moved in an FCC filing system: [1] As noted above, Allbritton affiliates currently are, or anticipate becoming, parties to local marketing agreements involving WJSU-TV, Anniston, Alabama, WBSG-TV, Brunswick, Georgia, and WYDP(TV), Orange Park, Florida. (emphasis mine)
• For consistency, The Florida Times-Union should be wikilinked in refs 37 and 52.

You might have noticed this, LunaEatsTuna, but this article makes comparatively heavy use of labeled section transclusion. This is because we had an article at "firstcoastnews.com" which I spruced up and moved to First Coast News—an article that someone looking to wikilink a news outlet in a reference might find first. Chunks of the news and staff sections in WJXX and WTLV actually are called from there. There is even ParserFunction code to display different years for Blaylock, Deegan, Gionet, and Hicken joining depending on which article you are viewing it on (since they weren't associated with WJXX until 2000 but had been on WTLV for years prior). By doing this, I'm hoping to create a model for the increasing number of US stations where the entire news product is shared/simulcast pretty much all the time under one umbrella brand (First Coast News having been a very early example of this). And if you're on WP:DISCORD, find me and I'll send refs 27 and 64 to you as PDFs. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:50, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

• Recommend adding template:Use X English

External links, templates (including coords and infobox), navs and cats all good.
