In your "Personalities - Past" segment, you list Max "Robey" as a meteorologist for KMOX. This would come as a surprise to anyone who grew up in Saint Louis in the '60s or '70s. May "Roby" was the anchor for the evening news at KMOX. He came on every night right after Cronkite finished the national CBS broadcast.

[edit] Wilmoth's position with KMOV
More than once Aimee Wilmoth has been labeled as a weekend meterologist. Wilmoth is only a fill-in meterologist. I haven't seen KMOV's weekend news in a while, but she has probably been filling in a lot on weekends, so some people probably think she is a weekend meterologist. If you go to KMOV's TV personalities section of their website you will find no mention of her. She can probably be left under current personalities with a tag of fill-in.

[edit] Wrong Steve Schiff link
The Steve Schiff referenced in the former personalities section is not deceased. It links to another Steve Schiff, a politician, and they are clearly not the same person. NewPasha 03:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Belo problems with Charter
prior to Super Bowl XLI, belo pulled the HD broadcasts of KMOV from the Charter cable in the St. Louis area due to an dispute with the cable provider, which left St. Louis out of luck in watching that game in HD. This feud been going on for quite some time, and has not been resolved to my knowledge. There has not been anything major in the local news regarding this since January.Kimmy78 15:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] kmov problems with the viacom tenure
I would like to add when Viacom took over KMOV in the mid 80s and started pre-empting programs, many cable providers (most that have since been bought out by Charter) just south and east of St. Louis began adding KFVS to the cable lineup, especially with the fact many the home television attena towers could pick up that station down there. During those years that KMOV was owned by Viacom, the much smaller market KFVS added the Missouri counties Jefferson and Franklin, and the Illinois counties of Monroe, St. Clair, Clinton, Marion, and Washington thanks to cable television. The Clinton/Marion county coverage is limited to the Centralia area, however, due to Charter cable (they use lineup based out of Mt. Vernon). St. Clair/Monroe coverage area pretty much includes New Athens, St. Libory, Red Bud, Waterloo, and Freeburg, mostly through the home TV attenas. Kimmy78 16:09, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Incorrect reason why station was sold by CBS
The reason CBS sold KMOX-TV as stated in this article is incorrect. CBS had to sell KMOX-TV in 1986 to Viacom because it had to raise money to thwart a takeover attempt by Ted Turner. CBS had to buy a station in Miami because NBC purchased then CBS affiliate WTVJ-TV in 1987, and later failed to come to an agreement to hook up with jilted NBC affiliate WSVN-TV. CBS was forced to buy WCIX-TV, a weak low-power station in 1988. Terehend72 20:22, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
