- I am going to reLAX a bit, but I will get to this within seven days :] ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 00:34, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- This pun should have earned me a block. Anyways, I have placed this article on hold for now and left my comments below. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 17:50, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- @LunaEatsTuna: Done. That news section is not getting much bigger in a market this small. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:34, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Prose
edit- In the lead, wikilink independent station.
- "when two groups proposed to start a second station in the city" – I am curious as to what the first station was.
- "The addition of a channel 48 station at Chippewa Falls" – wikilink as first mention in the lead.
- Wikilink Colfax for same reason above.
- IMO remove the acronym from the Federal Aviation Administration as it is not referred to again.
- "Meanwhile, the company's financial picture was dimming rapidly." – "financial picture" looks a bit editorialised to me; recommend rephrasing.
- "in October 1991, the FCC" > "Federal Communications Commission (FCC)" as first mention.
- I must ask as it is a short section—can § Newscasts be expanded at all? Might he worth checking.
- They are still airing just the half-hour news. This is a small-market station, and it tends to be that there is less coverage in the local papers of local news in smaller markets—and less coverage in general since about 2000!. In a lot of markets, Fox news share agreements have expanded, but not in Eau Claire. It's also unusual within Nexstar to see this outsourced news product still on the air (compare with the other Grant-to-Nexstar Fox stations with news: Nexstar bought the CBS in the Quad Cities, and it spun up its own newsrooms in Roanoke and Huntsville, which are larger markets).
- Ah—I see! Thanks for explaining.

- Recommend moving the sentence starting "Both stations discontinued" to above the tables for easier view and stylistic reasons. I do not really see a purpose in the sentence being down there.
References
edit- Ref 20 appears to have changed their URL.
- Ref 21 and 22 are identical; could you perhaps change their titles?
- Done.
Passes spotcheck on refs 3; 7; 16; 21; and 29.
