• Lead: "the station broadened its appeal by affiliating with the new Fox network at its launch in October 1986" - suggest adding more detail (e.g. type of progams/target audience or whatever)
  • Reworded.
• History: "In 1991, it became the first station outside of San Antonio to air a package of San Antonio Spurs basketball games" - doesn't seem particularly notable to me, but perhaps it is. No issues with retaining it.
  • The Spurs now play a series every year in Austin, which is the only reason I've included the sentence.
• History: "Cannan and Beard were now the sole owners" - having more than one sole owner sounds odd to me, but perhaps it is fine in American English.
  • Reworded.
• News operation: "CBS also made investments in weather forecasting and anchor salaries" seems a bit vague, but perhaps the source doesn't permit anything more specific.
  • It does not.
• News operation: "the station had short-lived ratings momentum" - I'm not sure having read the source that "momentum" is quite the right word, but won't insist on a change if you're happy with it.
  • Reworded.
• Notable former on-air staff - both seem notable, and it doesn't say it's a full list, so seems OK. (No action needed)

• Spot check on "The station, renamed KTVV, moved to channel 36 in January 1973" - no issues
• Spot check on『Pappas dropped out, and the four other applicants reached a settlement agreement—announced in June 1982 but not approved until March 1983 by which Television Corporation of Central Texas would be a consultant to a merger of Austin Telecasting, Mountain Laurel, and Texas Television, known as Austin Television.』- no issues.
• Spot check on "On October 9, 1986, the station became a charter affiliate of the upstart Fox network" - I'm not sure about "upstart"
• Spot check on "In 1991, it became the first station outside of San Antonio to air a package of San Antonio Spurs basketball games" - no issues.
• Spot check on "That April, CBS agreed to buy the station for $160 million" - no issues.
• Spot check on "Under CBS, management turned over frequently, with six general managers in five years" I think in the context of the article, "six top management changes" does verify this, so no issues.
• Spot check on "The deal was completed on January 3, 2012," - not 100% sure on this one. It's the date of the articel, but the article also mentions "the parties agreed to an effective closing date of Jan. 1, 2012."
• Spot check on "Its news programs were faster-paced than the competition with a higher-than-average reliance on props and unconventional methods of storytelling" - no issues.

Great work as ever, Sammi Brie. I hope the comments above are helpful; I'm happy to discuss any of them. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 19:53, 22 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
