[edit] Page name
Why is this page named WTBS (TV) instead of WTBS or WTBS-TV? WTBS would be the simplest unless there is a WTBS radio or it is an acronym. Bogsat 15:33, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Also, why are two different articles about TBS/WTBS out there. At least someone had the good sense to combine the Superstation WGN article into the WGN-TV one. The same thing should happen here, other than some weekday and Saturday morning shows, the Channel 17 signal in Atlanta and the national feed of TBS air the same identical programming.--ShawnHill 20:57, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- WTBS is the terrestrial broadcast; TBS is the cable outlet. Technically, they are not the same entity. - Chadbryant 20:00, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Did WTBS (WTCG) truly have secondary ABC/NBC/CBS affiliation? Mhking 23:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move
WTBS (TV) → WTBS – {To match the official call sign at fcc.gov} WP:RM page
[edit] Survey
- Add your comment per Wikipedia:Straw polls
- Support, to match the call sign at fcc.gov and since no disambiguation is need. -Bogsat 20:38, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose; Radiojon says that the reason the article is titled with (TV) instead of -TV is to show that the -TV suffix is not licensed by FCC. Georgia guy 21:02, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- Support, no disambiguation is needed. - Chadbryant 21:17, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- Support, there is no disambiguation at present; plus the calls are simply WTBS. (Is there a WTBS-AM or FM?) Mhking 22:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- Support, as long as the edit histories of both pages can be preserved in the merge. Since this page was created on December 21, 2005 by overwriting a redirect, and the only edit on WTBS after that was to change the redirect from WTBS-TV to WTBS (TV), I think this may actually be feasible.

[edit] Discussion
- Add any additional comments
The page WTBS has edits, so I think this move will be a cut and paste move or done by an admin -Bogsat 20:38, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- Just to clarify to anyone who isn't aware, please do not cut and paste! An admin will take care of it, if a consensus is reached. Thanks! --Lox (t,c) 20:45, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
