I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:32, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mike Christie: Responded to all the concerns. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:03, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Looks like you missed the first one? I don't think that's addressed by the changes you made. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 20:29, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Logos and image appropriately tagged; sources are reliable.

• "Though WBTI briefly expanded its commercial schedule": if WBTI was a hybrid of ad-supported and subscription, and the subscription programming increased (to 20 hours/day), how can the commercial schedule have increased too? Should this be "re-expanded"?
  • @Mike Christie: Fixed by removing this. I think it reads a bit clearer now. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:01, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

    That does it. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 21:02, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

• When does the limit of 20 hours a day change? It sounds like in June 83 only 90 minutes of non-free TV was broadcast on weekdays.
  • June '82. [1] A citation has been added.
• Suggest linking "wrote down" to Write-off#Write-down.
  • Done
• What's a translator? Can we link to an entry in the glossary? And "carriage" is also not clear; I guess it means the equivalent of market penetration, but even if I have that right a link would be helpful.
  • Linked in this article and also added to the glossary. The glossary needs lots of work and is missing some entries that it really needs—that's one of them. I suspect it is a bit UK-heavy in terminology. If you see something and go "glossary?", I will add it. To be quite honest, I had not heard of it until one of your recent reviews.

    Not too surprising -- you're probably the editor least in need of consulting it. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 20:29, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

• Suggest linking "receiver" to receivership.
  • Done
• "From 2016 to 2022, WSTR was the television home of FC Cincinnati, airing all matches not chosen for national TV": as far as I can tell it's not that FC Cincinnati has signed up with another station for 2023, just that the 2023 contract is not signed yet, and may well be with WSTR. Can we avoid making it sound as the relationship has definitely ended?
  • Read the footnote! Major League Soccer required all of its teams to commit no further than 2022 for local TV deals so that the league could sell national and local TV rights together, and that new deal displaces all local TV contracts (as noted in the quote in the reference in the footnote). You can hear it from me, or you can hear it from Don Garber: [2]

    "Many years ago, we went to our clubs and said, all of your local deals need to expire by the end of the [2022] season," Garber told reporters in December 2021. "All of your streaming deals need to expire. All of your data deals, all of your sports betting deals, everything that has a touch point with a consumer is all now in a package that we’re able to engage with traditional media companies that are transforming themselves digitally, to new media companies."

    Oops, missed that. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 20:29, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

• Under "Subchannels", I had to look up ATSC (I think I failed to comment on this on your other articles) and I see there's no ATSC 1.0 article. How about a link to just ATSC from that first mention?
  • Turns out that the retronym ATSC 1.0 as a redirect did not exist. It should have, so I've rectified that error. Linked. TV transmission arrangements in the US have become more...and more...and more complex over the last few years...
