KUPX Rewrite

This is the final draft version of the rewrite of the KUPX article I'd been proposing. Please review it and let me know what you think on this talk page.

There are some things that you may not agree with in this article:

• The new article has channel 16 signing on in April 1998, not November 1997. I cannot verify that channel 16 signed on in November 1997, when its call letters were still KZAR-TV. On the contrary, an ACME Communications filing with the SEC for EOY 1997 indicated that KZAR-TV was not expected to commence on-air operations until 2Q 1998, which would begin April 1. KZAR-TV became KUWB in February 1998, then became KUPX in April 1998 in the intellectual unit swap.
• Other than the inTV affiliation and the DTV allotment, I didn't find any intellectual property to cite in the move of KUPX. A source cited in the KUCW article states that ACME dumped channel 30's religious and paid programming and replaced it with new programming, but there is no mention that any programming other than inTV went over to channel 16. It looks as if channel 16 was a brand new station startup.
• The article does not mention channel 16 having problems being picked up on cable; I cannot find any documentation to verify it.
