Channel 29.2
editWVIR has recently been airing promos on their main channel for their first multicast channel, 29.2, but all they say is that they will be carrying the Balitimore Orioles' games, but what will they do with the rest of the airtime on this channel? The regional sports channel MASN- the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network- also says they will be carrying the Orioles games. So is 29.2 going to be MASN?
Fair use rationale for Image:Cw 29 wvir dt3.PNG
editImage:Cw 29 wvir dt3.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. 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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Copy changes
edit- I'd suggest the last sentence of the introduction
WVIR-CD is operated in the Charlottesville area...
is changed toWVIR-CD operates in the Charlottesville area...
- On the second paragraph of the Television in Charlottesville: A quiet zone section, I think this sentence should be reworded:
The channel 64 permit was never built, though it was transferred to another group in 1966.
- @FooBarBaz: I changed the one above and below, but this one I can't exactly change. The reason why is that I can't find any information on when the permit was deleted at the FCC. It's not even in Broadcasting. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:40, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- In the second sentence of the section Gray Television ownership, change
on a temporary basis
totemporarily
- Swap the positions of the short description and the mdy date, per MOS:SO
- Done. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:18, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
Spot checks
edit- 1: The website does not say its effective radiated power is 10 kilowatts when operated
- Weird one here. Technical information is usually implicitly cited to the FCC. Go to [1] (a mirror of the FCC's broadcast database) and look at the info under 0000109093.
Effective Radiated Power: 10kW
The citation covers only the STA. In essence, "we licensed you for a lower level, but because of the issues you had, we let you crank it up". Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:11, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Weird one here. Technical information is usually implicitly cited to the FCC. Go to [1] (a mirror of the FCC's broadcast database) and look at the info under 0000109093.
- 13: The PDF shows the date, October 19, 1971, for the initial application
- 33: The website says that the February switch did continue and saved $40,000
- 38: The website does say they chose to move to channel 2 rather than channel share
- 48: The table shows all TV shows mentioned at the bottom of the article.
