Non-free / fair use media rationale for C Channel
Description

Logo for C Channel
Source

Scanned from Winnipeg Sun article from January 1983.
Article

C Channel
Portion used

Full logo.
Low resolution?

Grainy, low resolution, greyscale - no current, higher-quality reproductions have yet been found as the logo has not been in active use for many years.
Purpose of use

To illustrate the logo for the defunct C Channel service in Canada.

  1. This image is a low-resolution image of the logo of a specialty television network.
  2. The logo is of historic value with respect to Canadian broadcasting, as it describes one of Canada's first premium ("pay television") services.
  3. The network ceased operations approximately 25 years ago, and it is unlikely that the channel will resume operations, especially under the original name and logo.
  4. Assuming that there still exists a copyright holder for the logo, this image would not limit the copyright holder's ability to profit from the original source, nor will it dilute the importance or recognition of the logo in connection with its organization. This is particularly so given the long-defunct status of the operation.
  5. This image enhances the article in which it's displayed, as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone.
  6. This image was reproduced in other media (e.g. newspapers) during reporting on the television service during its existence. Its use in Wikipedia is purely encyclopedic and descriptive.
  7. Use of the logo visually identifies the station's programming and ownership in a manner that mere prose cannot, and meets all criteria in WP:NFCC.
Replaceable?

Not replaceable; logos are always presumed non-free per WP:LOGO.
