Interesting article. This is ready. SL93 (talk) 00:53, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
@Nathan Obral and Sammi Brie: I wasn't able to find in the article where it says Baker ordered the closure of the station, as stated in the hook. Can you quote the text from the article? Thanks, Z1720 (talk) 19:30, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Z1720: You're reading the hook wrong. They were ordered off the air by the FCC; the marquee was lit on Baker's orders. Look for the paragraph starting
Despite the station ceasing operations...

- So the hook is saying that the owner is closing the lit marquee? My interpretation after reading the hook is that it is stating that the owner ordered the closure of the TV station. I wonder if I would be the only one that would read this hook in this way. Suggesting some ALTs below:
- ALT0a ... that a Miami TV station kept its marquee lit for 18 months after losing its license?
- ALT0b ... that the embittered owner of a Miami TV station kept its marquee lit for 18 months after losing its license?
