The proper name for WDTN's chief competitor is WHIO-TV, not WHIO. The former are actually the call letters of the television station. The latter should link to the radio station, which predates the television station.

  • Correction on that: WHIO should link to a disambiguation page, which will then allow the readers to decide whether they wanted WHIO-TV or WHIO radio. -SwissCelt 16:11, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WNBC-style infobox

I'm using the infobox from the "Template:Infobox Broadcast" used on WNBC-TV and other television stations. This is so to minimize bad infobox edits in the future: I realize that the previous infobox was hard to edit, and I don't believe there exists a template for that style.

[edit] Dayton and out-of-town affiliates

Dayton's not that unique, in having out-of-town affiliates nearby. Youngstown has been served by stations in Cleveland and Pittsburgh; the metro's cable systems still carry either Cleveland or Pittsburgh stations (if not both). Toledo is served by Detroit. Erie is served by Cleveland and Buffalo. And poor WLIO in Lima... it's had to compete in at least parts of its footprint against WSPD/WTVG/WNWO in Toledo, WCMH in Columbus, WLWD/WKEF/WDTN in Dayton-Springfield, and WISE in Ft. Wayne... with Cleveland's WKYC, Detroit's WDIV, and Indianapolis's WTHR all within reach of a good antenna. -- SwissCelt 23:09, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
