Fair use rationale for Image:Wcsh news anchors.png

Image:Wcsh news anchors.png 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.

Comcast ch. 6

Not any more. They moved it some boondock number I can't remember. Altered article to reflect this. Huw Powell (talk) 04:28, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

96. And Comcast seems to think they are a CBS affiliate now. Huw Powell (talk) 04:34, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Prose

Wikilink Portland.
Like the other time I suggested it, wikilink the four-year freeze line to somewhere.
I am confused on the meaning of "activity around this channel would proceed to unblock channel 6 in Portland".
- Congress Square Hotel's competitors were part of the group that got the channel 8 permit. Their withdrawal left the channel uncontested and led to the permit grant.
Is it possible to rephrase the opening sentence from the third paragraph to avoid such close repetition of equipment?
- Reworded.
"It announced" – how about WCSH here? Otherwise we use it three times in a row.
Wikilink NBC.
Curious, what does test pattern mean? Could it perhaps be wikilinked to somewhere?
- We do! It's at the more European title of Test card.
  - Ahh now I get it!
"The Rines family, which" – should it not be who? Relatedly:
The relative clause sentence between the commas (I forgor what it is called) for the aforementioned line is quite long.
- Split the sentence.
"into more modern quarters" – can this be elaborated upon? Was the Congress Square Hotel's location simply outdated?
Wikilink prime time.
I would wikilink digital television.
"this changed in February 1986, when WCSH" – is the comma needed here?
- Not particularly.
