[edit] Sinclair
The arrangement that turned WPGH's news operation over to WPXI is called a news-share agreement. Both companies (Cox and Sinclair) share ad revenue from the news venture. NO OWNERSHIP CHANGES TOOK PLACE.
According to the FCC Cox Television Ownership Report, WPXI is owned by Georgia Television Company, a wholly-owned venture of Cox Broadcasting.
Had Sinclair indeed assumed 10% of the controlling interest of WPXI, the station would no longer appear on the report above. Burghboy80 02:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Eleven?
Does the station actually spell out the word "eleven"? I can't watch WPXI, but I was not aware of that before. I will remove this statement if they in fact do not do this. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 23:39, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sinclair Ownership?
Sinclair does not own any part of WPXI. There's simply a "newsshare" between WPGH and WPXI. It's a contract that exists. So until someone can find documentation that Sinclair owns a portion of WPXI, any reference of ownership should be removed. --Write On 1983 02:01, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Channel 11 News HD
There is a speculation that Channel 11 News can be the first Pittsburgh news station to broadcast in HD. 66.153.65.224 00:42, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WPXI HD
WPXI now moved to a better studio as well as better technology and its new newsmusic "The Tower". I'm just stating this out because I've noticed the changes today.--Megamanfan3 00:21, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- Got a question here....is Channel 11 using the branding "Channel 11 News HD" as their news branding or just "Channel 11 News"? From what I have seen online (I don't live in the Pittsburgh area) it is just "Channel 11 News". - NeutralHomer T:C 00:36, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- No, they are still under as "Channel 11 News", but they are brodcasting under high def.--Megamanfan3 18:46, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- OK, that is what I thought. I will change that on the main page. Many thanks...NeutralHomer T:C 19:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Krista's Maternity Leave
I saw her on the Channel 11 News, this morning, and it looks like her maternity leave is over. I deleted the "(currently on maternity leave)" sentence, next to her name. Someone just needs to do something with the Scott Harbaugh filling-in thing. I don't know how to put it, that way. KiaraFan13 (talk) 01:24, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
