• @Epicgenius and Sammi Brie: a detail, the sources appear to say the smallest television market, but the hooks refer to the smallest tv station. Bruxton (talk) 19:23, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
  • Bruxton It pretty much is. The wording is also supported by [3] Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:46, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie: Unless I am missing something even in that one I read: "world's smallest Nielsen Television market". Bruxton (talk) 19:52, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

@Bruxton: First column, three or four paragraphs down: "the nation's smallest Nielsen-rated television station" Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:07, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

We have had discussions about smallest, largest, first etc. To me it looks like the majority of the RS states that because of the viewers it is the smallest TV market. I may have to get another opinion on the claim if you want to stick with it. That article even details the market in the image caption and a box/blurb. If I was to promote it as is it is likely to get talk page dissected. Bruxton (talk) 20:18, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

@Valereee: would you render an opinion on the hook claim before promotion. Bruxton (talk) 00:11, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

I think it could go in the quirky with a 'smallest station' hook. Valereee (talk) 00:36, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

@Bruxton and Sammi Brie: I forgot all about this. My interpretation was that the station in this context was synonymous with the market. Epicgenius (talk) 00:48, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

I see Epicgenius I was thinking literal building size. All the articles I read talked about the smallest viewership/audience. But if you and Valeree think it is ok we will go with it. Bruxton (talk) 01:01, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Oh... I now see why you were confused. I was going to suggest rephrasing the caption, but perhaps the problem is with the text (pictured), so maybe something like this?

• ... that the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and Sports Illustrated have all profiled the smallest TV station in the United States (studios pictured)? Epicgenius (talk) 01:12, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

• Yeah, that's fine by me. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:24, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
