[edit] Removal of newscast schedules?

User:Amgine is conducting a systematic removal of all local programming information from the television station project. To all editors, please see the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Newscast_schedules.2C_redux, where the issue of removing locally originated programming schedules is discussed.

[edit] Afflilation change

I am almost certain that the affiliation change did not happen in May 1983. According to a videotape I have, a WDAZ program from June 3, 1983 was from NBC. It must have been later in 1983 that KTHI became affiliated with NBC. --PsychoJason 05:09, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll ask RickAbbo if he can take a look at the archives and see what's what. -AlexWCovington (talk) 05:18, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
I'll ask around and see when they actually switched. --RicKAbbo 21:22, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

It appears that the switch from KTHI to KVLY happened on June 5, 1995. I don't know if that helps anybody, but if you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I'm sure this date is accurate, because someone at KVLY emailed me. He was unsure when the switch from ABC to NBC took place. He thought it would have been May 1983. --RicKAbbo 08:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleaning Up

I think some parts of this article are a little hard to read. Like this:

The station had served as the longtime ABC affiliate in Fargo until May, 1983 when it went to the markets longtime NBC affiliates WDAY 6 in Fargo and WDAZ 8 in Grand Forks, thus moving NBC affiliation from WDAY 6 and WDAZ 8 to KVLY 11, and moving ABC affiliation from KVLY 11 to WDAY 6 and WDAZ 8.

[edit] DuMont affiliation?

Someone recently added DuMont affiliation (1953-1955) to this station's infobox. Is this true? A google search doesn't appear to be able to verify this information. Firsfron of Ronchester 22:03, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
