    • Comment: A surprising number of potential hooks for a relatively short article (though alt0/4, alt1/7s and alt5/6 are pairs kind of playing on the same thing, in different ways). Alt6 is a play on the road name. Alt2 is based on a fairly-successful hook that ran for History of Flagstaff, Arizona. Alt1(a) and 7(a) are edgy and weird, and can be discarded or rephrased or whatever.

  • New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present. @Kingsif: I would like to see citations on the sentences with the "Virgin Bottoms" moniker for ALT1/a and Shinarump for ALT7/a. ALT3 I'd consider changing to "LDS Church" per MOS:LDS. I concur with ALT0 as all but one TV transmitter that serves the area rebroadcasts a Utah station, but there's one very fun exception that I can see why you missed. Assigned to Colorado City was K27EJ (now K27EJ-D), which in the 1997 TV Factbook (also p. B-173) is listed as rebroadcasting KTVK of Phoenix. It now rebroadcasts KSAZ-TV, probably because there is no Fox station from Salt Lake rebroadcast there. I have placed the necessary reference—a specialized table produced by the FCC—to support this. Without additional citations, ALT0, 2, 4, 5, and 6 are approved now, and the others just need either an additional citation or a hook wording fix.
