Untitled[edit]

I used to live near Brattleboro, VT. I had to use Bradley Field to get out of New England for trips. On Ch. 3 Hartford, I seem to remember a meteorologist that originated from the south somewhere. This would be 1993-1997. Any recollection?--{{SUBST:User:Coryma}} 01:52, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to Coryma: could you be referring to Hilton Kaderli, from Oklahoma? He can be seen occasionally on tv commercials touting what I would casually term 'a gutter improvement system.' Seven1672 (talk) 16:09, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does it bear mentioning that WFSB's analog transmitter is now operating at reduced power (50kW)? I used the FCC query near the bottom of the article, and found the reference to this fact with File No. BSTA-20090127ADW. I had previously read about this elsewhere on the web.

Fair use rationale for Image:Wshm 2007.jpg[edit]

Image:Wshm 2007.jpg 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

History section[edit]

I've cut the History section down to size a few times in this article, as it has always lacked citaitons. Please do not revert this unless valid sources are found. Thanks, Markvs88 (talk) 17:31, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced lists of former employees[edit]

Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. This type of material does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in policies and guidelines. These types of unreferenced lists are excluded because:

WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
WP:NLIST tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons. A concerted effort has been going on for several years now to revise television station articles to reflect this consensus. thanks 74.14.24.50 (talk) 16:58, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sinclair is NOT buying WFSB[edit]

Sinclair is NOT buying WFSB anytime soon. Thus, Meredith will continue to own the station. also, WFSB Does not carry either Me-TV or Zuus Country, as Me-TV is technically already seen on some other station while ZUUS Country is not seen at all in Connecticut at this time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.20.81.165 (talk) 16:18, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Add history of "Eyewitness News NOW"[edit]

Can someone include somewhere about WFSB's Eyewitness News Now like what it is, how it originated, and that the fact it recently relaunched as a 24/7 information channel and it's CT's only 24/7 info network currently? I would love to see this. 2600:8805:D219:D800:F8E9:29A9:FEE:FBF2 (talk) 16:25, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WWAX-LD "theWAX"[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Just curious, would there be more context about WWAX (what programs they carry, basic info) or it would just be listed part of WFSB page? I get this is a new station in CT. 2600:8805:D219:D800:F8E9:29A9:FEE:FBF2 (talk) 16:28, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just saw the update. This is resolved and will be closed. 2600:8805:D219:D800:59DA:E828:ED3A:25A0 (talk) 00:58, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
