A major change in this article

I have removed WNNE-TV, WEMT, WSYT, and WDKY-TV from the text and the chart. Here are my reasons for doing so:

During 1987-89, when TVX was selling off stations to satisfy its debt, the FCC limit on stations per group owner was twelve. Sans these four stations, and prior to both the TVX sale and the restructuring into Great American Broadcasting, Taft's television group was as follows:

WTAF-TV Philadelphia
WDCA-TV Washington
WCIX Miami
KTXA Fort Worth/Dallas
KTXH Houston
WKRC-TV Cincinnati
WTVN-TV Columbus, Ohio
WDAF-TV Kansas City, Missouri
WGHP High Point/Greensboro/Winston-Salem
WTSP St. Petersburg/Tampa
KTSP-TV Phoenix
WBRC-TV Birmingham

That's twelve stations right there. There is no way Taft could have owned fifteen stations in 1987. The FCC wouldn't raise the limit on TV station ownership again -- to 14 per group -- for a few years. Also, I have seen NO EVIDENCE -- in either back issues of Broadcasting magazine (which was considered to be the industry's magazine of record) or anyplace else stating that the Taft Television and Radio Co. owned these four small stations.

Similar changes have be made within the TVX Broadcast Group article. Rollosmokes 16:57, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
