Copyvio check

Earwig says good to go. Quotations used—rarely—are in-line with WP:COPYQUOTE and only very short extracts.

Files

All images relevant and free:

• File:WLTZ Local NBC 38 logo.png: good, valid non-free rationale;
• File:Wltz dt2 2010.png: good, valid public domain rationale;
• File:AFLAC Tower Columbus Georgia.jpg: good, CC-BY-SA 3.0, uploaded to Commons by registered user.

Prose

• I doubt the first ref in the lead is necessary, given its cited elsewhere and the lead has no other citations.
• "section of East Columbus (postal address is actually Buena Vista Road in Columbus)" – maybe convert this into an efn note?
• "three groups applied for television stations in Columbus," – wikilink Columbus as first mention in the body; likewise:
• First mentions of ABC and NBC should also be wikilinked.
• The sentence starting "WYEA-TV would prove to be a challenge as the group's first property," reads a bit too long for me. Perhaps it is possible to add a full stop somewhere?
• "However, many of these changes were later trimmed back for economic reasons by Lewis." – is economic reasons the right word? Also:
• Lewis is only first mentioned later in the article.
• "By the start of 1981, American Family owned six stations, WYEA-TV and five outlets in larger markets" – recommend replacing the last comma with an em dash for better flow.
• "beginning to brand as "Z-38"," – recommend "beginning to brand itself as "Z-38",".
• "the station briefly had the first Black anchor on Columbus television," do the sources have a date for when this was? Seems noteworthy if possible.
• "anchor Suzanne Hudson said the news was "like taking a knife to our throat" and left her "absolutely floored"." – is this relevant? It reads a bit too much like a news article quoting a miscellaneous anchor.
• "In 2012, the station restored local news production from Columbus." – pretty short, I would merge this into the above paragraph.

• • All above Y done. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:53, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Refs

All sources are RS. Passes spotcheck. No concerns with refs 1, 5, 12, 22, 30 or 39.

• Ref 39 is missing a date.
• Ref 41: I believe "wltz.com" should be "WLTZ"?

• • All above Y done. Date added for 39 which is now 41 as I added two references. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:53, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Other

Infobox, navs, cats and other templates all good.

• Recommend adding template:Use X English.
• Could "alt=Refer to caption" be improved? Even just saying "a skyscraper with blue letters "Aflac", the l obstructed by a duck, at its top left" etc. should work.

• • All above Y done. Date added for 39 which is now 41 as I added two references. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:53, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
