Copy changes

• I'd suggest the last sentence of the introduction WVIR-CD is operated in the Charlottesville area... is changed to WVIR-CD operates in the Charlottesville area...
• On the second paragraph of the Television in Charlottesville: A quiet zone section, I think this sentence should be reworded: The channel 64 permit was never built, though it was transferred to another group in 1966.
  • @FooBarBaz: I changed the one above and below, but this one I can't exactly change. The reason why is that I can't find any information on when the permit was deleted at the FCC. It's not even in Broadcasting. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:40, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
• In the second sentence of the section Gray Television ownership, change on a temporary basis to temporarily
• Swap the positions of the short description and the mdy date, per MOS:SO
  • Done. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:18, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Spot checks

• 1: The website does not say its effective radiated power is 10 kilowatts when operated
  • Weird one here. Technical information is usually implicitly cited to the FCC. Go to [1] (a mirror of the FCC's broadcast database) and look at the info under 0000109093. Effective Radiated Power: 10kW The citation covers only the STA. In essence, "we licensed you for a lower level, but because of the issues you had, we let you crank it up". Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:11, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
• 13: The PDF shows the date, October 19, 1971, for the initial application Y
• 33: The website says that the February switch did continue and saved $40,000 Y
• 38: The website does say they chose to move to channel 2 rather than channel share Y
• 48: The table shows all TV shows mentioned at the bottom of the article. Y
