On the whole this article looks great!
- Earwig doesn't show any copying
- The article is readable, clear, neutral, and thoroughly cited (with small omissions noted below)
- I found two statements that weren't clearly cited:
- The lede says the station is broadcast from Shelby Oaks Corporate Park, but this isn't cited or mentioned in the body.
- This is fixed by adding to the body; it is in reference Comm130507.
- The infobox says the MT call sign is named for Michael Thompson. The body says that Michael Thompson owned MT Communications, and that the call sign comes from the company, but I didn't catch anything that said MT Communications was actually named after him. The body also talks about Memphis Telecasters, which has the same initials, so it's not obvious he's the source of the name.
- This was fixed by adding a second call to the ref about WMTU in Jackson. Not to be confused with Memphis Telecasters, whose construction permit did not result in a station. (For more information on the people involved in that company, see my GA at WCNC-TV)
- The lede says the station is broadcast from Shelby Oaks Corporate Park, but this isn't cited or mentioned in the body.
- I spot checked 18 randomly chosen citations. Only one major concern, and one minor one:
- Citation 65 doesn't seem to support that Tegna bought WLMT. The source only says that Tegna bought 11 stations while E.W. Scripps bought 8. Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't specify that WLMT was one of the 11.
- Added a ref that specifically indicates each divestiture. (Fun fact: 8 of the 19 divested stations have been rewritten)
- Citation 66 doesn't say the news station was called News Watch 30. This is a minor quibble, since other citations in the same paragraph do give that name.
- Added a more specific ref.
- Citation 65 doesn't seem to support that Tegna bought WLMT. The source only says that Tegna bought 11 stations while E.W. Scripps bought 8. Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't specify that WLMT was one of the 11.
- For images, there's only a single picture of the logo. Any other pictures it might make sense to add?
- Free-use images of TV stations are not always available. Especially relating to secondary stations. I do a search for appropriate images every time I raise a page to GA-level, and this one turned up empty.
