Corrections[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Suggesting some corrections and cleanup:

• Neither WQED-FM nor WQEJ-FM are affiliated with NPR. (Although they are public radio stations, their format is classical. WESA_(FM) is Pittsburgh's NPR member station.)

• WQED's mission is not "to create an educated and informed viewer," but rather "to create and share outstanding public media that educates, entertains and inspires," per https://www.wqed.org/communityimpact/mission

• Consider using https://americanarchive.org/participating-orgs/1846 for the missing citation for the April 1, 1954 launch date under "History."

• The local programs listed as bullets under "Air content" are outdated/incorrect and also seem better-suited for the WQED (TV) article.

• The first four local channels listed as bullets under "Air content" are also outdated/incorrect. As per https://www.wqed.org/schedule, the current broadcast television channels are: 13.1 WQED HDTV, 13.2 WQED Create, 13.3 WQED World, 13.4 WQED Showcase, and 13.5 WQED Kids. (This also seems better-suited for the WQED (TV) article.) 89.3FM Pittsburgh and 89.7FM Johnstown are correct but could link to WQED-FM. Education and Interactive may not make sense in the context of "Air content."

• The Mister Rogers section seems redundant to the Fred Rogers and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood pages; but consider using https://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-fred-rogers-20030228-story.html for several of the missing citations. (Note that Fred Rogers had two grandchildren, not one, at the time of his death.)

• The FCC broadcast spectrum auction and repack information in the final paragraph under "Antenna tower" is outdated and incorrect (e.g. WQED is was assigned low VHF channel 4, not 2, as per https://wqed.org/rescan) and the section is written in future tense when it happened four years ago.
