- Comment: An intriguing story that's...a bit weird to fit in a hook. Ideas are appreciated.

Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- As for hook ideas, for example you could propose something involving any of these facts:
- The call sign change being delayed for a while "because of delays with a key part"
- Being denied the channel 8 drop-in because it was too close to Nashville and Athens, despite the hilly terrain blocking reception from these cities
- Increasing its power several times and ultimately being one of 10 stations operating at the maximum power level of five million watts
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
@Sammi Brie: Nice work. I could approve either hook as-is, but let me know if you want to think of other hooks. Epicgenius (talk) 14:39, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: The drop-in story is great inside baseball and also confusing. One alternative: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:54, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
- ... that WTVK found out it was losing its ABC affiliation by a phone call just before one of its competitors announced it was the new affiliate?
- @Sammi Brie: I guess that works.
Tick for all three of these hooks, unless you had more you wanted me to look at. Epicgenius (talk) 19:06, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Sammi Brie: I guess that works.
