Recent GA, long enough, hook is sourced and interesting, and QPQ complete. Prefer initial hook, however, I didn't understand the full extent until I read the source link. What they sold included pre-packaged 'fake' pledge drive clips for other stations to air. Is there a way you could clarify that? Not required, but could be helpful.

- I was more meaning that they specialized in shows that stations turned to at pledge drive time, though they also did that. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:02, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
