File(s)

Both files are relevant and copyright-free.

Prose

• In the lead, remove "(SSA)" as it is never used again.
• In the first sentence of § Early years: Super TV, wikilink Baltimore.
• In the second sentence, is said company really that unimportant that it not be named?
• Is it possible to mention when (if known) Peter and John Fellowship announced their bid, for consistency.
• I would wikilink newsmagazine (IDK if I am dumb but I have never heard of that term until now).
• Wikilink cable TV.
• "general-entertainment independent" – wikilink independent to independent station.
• I know the second point is informatively sufficient but "economic factors" itself is a bit vague IMO.
• Just curious, why does it say Salditch was "preparing for life" instead of something like preparing for the future of WNUV?
• Wikilink NBC.
• For one sentence there are a lot of commas. How about "The FCC approved of their purchase by way of ABRY Communications in March 1989, and" to improve the flow?
• "antennas as an STV station" – recommend wikilinking and writing out satellite television.
  • That's S for subscription and it's introduced earlier
• I know this is hardly relevant but is it possible to provide a short, few word explanation on why WBAL-TV declined to carry the show?
  • I don't think that'd be relevant to this article.
• Wikilink Milwaukee.
• "attempt to put up roadblocks" – recommend "set up" for improved formality (I am a pedant).
• "low-power UHF station" – also write out and wikilink ultra high frequency with the abbreviation in parentheses.
• On what grounds did UPN contest?
• "became a front page issue" is informal – recommend rephrasing.
• "was late to sign an agreement with The CW" – hmm, how about "with the network" or "with it" etc. since The CW was just mentioned?
• "to start airing digital simulcasts" – I would wikilink simulcast.
• Wikilink OFDM.
• Wikilink ultra-HD.
