Midway Point?

The Lancaster-York-Harrisburg area is NOT midway between Pittsburgh and Baltimore (this would be Breezewood/Bedford) and even if it were, there is no indication of what advantage this may actually provide. 207.13.211.199 15:57, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree considering that is is basically directly north of Baltimore, and their is another market in between, Altoona - Johnstown. The WGAL viewing area would not receive the Pittsburgh area stations over-the-air anyway, to far away, and with the exception of the community's on the border with Maryland, would not get the Baltimore Stations OTA either. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 06:34, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Significant trimming of Former Staff section

I just cut everyone out of the alumni section that does not have their own Wikipedia page or a reliable reference. The rationales are as follows:

Most importantly, per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
Secondarily, per WP:V, we cannot include information that is not verifiable and sourced. I'm not certain how it would even be possible to source this information.
Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

All of the people with their own pages are notable enough to appear on this list. However, if you look at pages about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of info, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher).

Signal strength?

NBC-TV weatherman Willard Scott occasionally referred to WGAL-TV during "Today" program broadcasts in the 1980s and '90s. He jokingly said that WGAL had "a signal that could be reached on the Moon." That's obviously untrue. However, did WGAL-TV in its analog (pre-digital) days have a unusually strong signal (perhaps to reach the various valleys in its Appalachian territory)?
