[edit] Departure of Leslie Griffith

I removed this section. It is not fact it's just a personal opinion of why someone may have left. It is basically a blog entry 4.142.96.249 23:01, 2 September 2007 (UTC)eric

[edit] Where is Leslie?

Leslie Griffith has been missing in action for about two months. Is she all right? Rlw (Talk) 01:08, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Griffith's resignation was announced - but not explained - on air on 17 November 2006. Rlw (Talk) 16:05, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

speculation was harrassment by dennis richmond and an out-of-court settlement. Yabbadabbawho (talk) 16:41, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Distinctive adverts

I think there should be a section on KTVU's distinctive features in the 1980s that people may remember fondly even now, such as the ethnic public-service announcements ("I'm proud to be a __-American" while some kid walks around in some ethnic neighborhood).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:KTVU 2 logo.PNG

Image:KTVU 2 logo.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Departure of Sara Sidner

Sigh. Thank you, Anastrophe. for reverting my edit. I watched, with my own eyes, Sara Sidner's departure from KTVU at the very end of the 10:00 News on 12/31/07. Hard to cite, but still true. I trust you will un-revert your needless reversion when sufficient proof is available. Rlw (Talk) 21:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

um, i detect some snarkiness there. whatever. WP:VERIFIABILITY vs WP:OR. i wish i'd had an opportunity to see her last broadcast, i liked her very much. but content on WP must be verifiable via reliable sources. 'i saw it' isn't. had i seen her last broadcast, i wouldn't have added the info to the article, because i'm not a WP:RS. sorry if you disagree with the reversion, but policy trumps that. Anastrophe (talk) 21:31, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. Is it better now? Rlw (Talk) 22:01, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

yes, excellent citations, thank you. Anastrophe (talk) 22:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
