-TV/DT

Why did you change all the articles about Nashville TV stations to eliminate -TV/DT? Those ARE the official call letters for each, are they not? --Zpb52 07:52, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

• That doesn't matter. Any station that broadcasts using the same call letters on both TV band and DT band MUST carry the -TV or -DT suffix. In the interim (that is, until analog TV is phased out and DT becomes the standard), stations carry both suffixes in the -TV/DT format. It is similar to the rule about FM or TV stations that use the same call letters as AM stations. Take WSB in Atlanta, for example. AM is the default band, so there is no such thing as an -AM suffix. However, channel 2 must carry the WSB-TV suffix and 98.5 must carry the -FM suffix in addition to the WSB call letters. When you go to the FCC's website, as you instructed me to do, it gives you information on all stations carrying those call letters, whether they be TV or DT. Because the same call letters are being used on both TV and DT bands, the suffixes must be added until one or the other goes away. --Zpb52 08:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Thought I'd weigh in on this topic. There are alot of U.S. TV stations that are licenced with a callsign ending with -TV, some with -LP, and some with -CA. Most are just the call lettters with no postfix. However there are currently only 9, yes nine, stations licenced by the FCC with a callsign ending with -DT. There are currently more stations with -DR callsigns (17) then that. I got these numbers by doing an FCC database search by state, for each state, and searched the results for the string '-D'. This gave me hits for both -DT and -DR stations. If all stations have call letters with -TV or -DT at the end, why are they not listed as such in the FCC database? Please show me a rule or law from an official government site stating what you claim. —A 09:04, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh forgot to include this, I have compiled the list of all stations that have a callsign ending in either -DT or -DR. If anyone finds anymore please add them to a list. If it ever gets over 20 or so stations I'll move it to a non-user page. User:А/-DT Television stations —A 09:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

One last thing. Article names are to be the fcc assigned call letters of the station the article is about with very few exceptions. As I say in the template I use for renaming station articles: "Consensus on both WP:NC#Broadcasting and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations#Article_names is that the article name should reflect the actual call letters of the TV station." If anyone doesn't like this, it should be discussed at one of those locations. As per the content of the page, I usualy only change the call letters in an infobox and leave the text how it is. However, I always remove the -DT unless the station is one of the sacred 9. Using this moniker with a callsign is just a marketing tool and not factual. This is an encyclopedia, so unless you are talking about how "this station uses the -DT at the end of their call sign even though it is not their call sign" or something along those lines, we should leave it off wikipedia. —A 09:28, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

WXOW moved to WXOW-TV

I deleted the redirect and moved the article. Let me know if that isn't what you intended ;-) --TimPope 11:49, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

On Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania

Boothy, thanks for seprataing fact from "so called fact" when it comes to the history of Philadelphia city and county. I guess that one user (he/she will go nameless) is so obsessed about deleting facts and edits based on what he/she see's fit. I know we had this discussion in talk:Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, but it seems like the user wants to ignore the talk page discussion. Thanks for the support and KEEP FIGHTING!! :) --Moreau36; 2133, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
