Congratulations, and thank you today for KNXV-TV, introduced: "Pound-for-pound, the most interesting TV station in Phoenix is probably the one with an N for "News" in its call sign yet which mocked local newscasts with the "Bluebird of Happinews" in its early years. After years of funding-related delays, KNXV turned up in 1979 as the first new English-language TV station in Phoenix in 12 years. It got built mostly as a conduit for ON TV programming (and is part of the ON TV Good Topic), but cable became widespread enough by 1983 that it was one of the first markets where the company withdrew. After being sold to Scripps-Howard Broadcasting and affiliating with Fox in 1986, KNXV found its stride and eclipsed heritage KPHO-TV, a station that failed to get with the times, as the leading independent station in the market. Plans for a newscast became reality in 1994—in time to be scrambled by a huge affiliation realignment which sent ABC to 15. In spite of substantial early promise and a style distinguishing it from its four competitors, News 15 scuffled hard after changes in management and talent. More recently, the station has expanded its news output and improved its quality, as demonstrated by two Peabody Awards in consecutive years."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:49, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Three stories related to today in memory, 11 September, 20 July and 20 June, the latter piece of art also pictured on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:27, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:27, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More Puerto Rico call swaps

Once again, NotiRadio Broadcasting has swapped call signs among several of their stations (two years after the last round of swaps), which will require complicated page moves:

The station at 680 kHz in San Juan (facility ID 8889), which had been WBQN the past few years, is now WAPA again, following an October 11 call swap.
The station at 1260 kHz in Ponce (facility ID 61147), which had become the new WAPA (AM) after the dust settled in 2022, became WBQN in the above swap, but is now WVOZ following another call swap on October 18.
The station at 1580 kHz in Aguadilla (facility ID 72452), which had been WVOZ (AM) since 2016 (well before any of the earlier swaps), wound up as the latest WBQN with the October 18 swap.

As you were the one to perform the necessary page moves in 2022, which followed various subsequently-reverted cut-and-paste moves by IPs, I figured I'd run this by you as well (particularly as the IP C&P moves happened yet again). WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 01:51, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Wehwalt; I think it's important to put how badly their news was rating post-NBC switch. It basically drove the entire arc of station history for half a decade and occupies substantial space in the article. The revamped blurb looks good.
