Note on disambiguator

I believe this is the first article in the project to use a "(channel XX)" disambiguator. This is, as you might imagine, the best available option in not-so-great circumstances.

My flow for determining the correct disambiguator, which is written down at User:Sammi Brie/Radio naming, leaves "frequency" as the first option when a station has the same call sign in the same city and state as another station—in this case, the present WFMZ-TV.

This is basically the TV version of an article like KLEA-FM (101.7 MHz), but I do not believe this has been necessary (or would be in almost any other case!). Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 08:01, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

... that station officials climbed the 500-foot (150 m) tower of the first WFMZ-TV, smashed a bottle of champagne against the top and christened it "Miss Ultra High"? Source: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/68978985/antenna-antics/

Comment: "The first" must remain in the hook phrase because this is different from the active WFMZ-TV, which began broadcasting in the same city more than 20 years later.

Meets DYK requirements for length and recent creation (today!). An interesting hook, supported by the source newspaper clipping and photo there. No copyvios detected and QPQ fulfilled. Good to go. JGHowes ^talk 17:21, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
