[edit] Article name

I have moved this article back to KATV from KATV-TV. Consensus on both WP:NC#Broadcasting and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations#Article_names is that the article name should reflect the actual call letters of the TV station. As can be seen here: [1] the call letters for this station are in fact KATV. Any concerns regarding this topic would be best addressed here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations. —A 08:58, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oldest in Little Rock, but not in Arkansas

KATV is the oldest TV station in Little Rock, but not the oldest in Arkansas; KFSM (then KFSA-TV) in Fort Smith beat it by a few months. There was a KRTV in Little Rock that was on even before KFSM, but it folded after a year; KATV then bought its studios and moved to Little Rock. (It maintains a Pine Bluff studio to this day to comply with the FCC's conditions for moving its license to Little Rock, though under current FCC rules it could close it and keep its studio in Little Rock even if the FCC moved its license back to Pine Bluff.) The original KRTV studios burned down a few years later.
