Listcruft

It appears this article suffers from extremelylonglistism; as Wikipedia is NOT a directory, I think it would be a good idea to trim this list back a bit (or a lot). There's no reason every person who works at the station needs to be credited in an encyclopedia article. The revision here is still list-heavy, and adding more folks to the list is, in my opinion, a bad idea. Let's try to establish a consensus here. Firsfron of Ronchester 00:30, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I would agree... given that (in the vast majority of cases) Wiki articles list solely on-air staff -- or, at the very most -- staff that are profiled on the station's Web site. Amnewsboy 07:30, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Staff?

Why should we include a "staff" section if we aren't including all the staff? And no, we aren't including all the staff. Elfred 03:49, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Non-air staff

Please stop adding non-air staff to the article; the WP:TVS standard is to only include on-air staff (if any staff is listed at all). Inclusions will continue to be reverted as vandalism, and reported accordingly. --Mhking (talk) 13:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

History to 1968

This station's website seems to have forgotten its own history. According to TV Guide (October 8-14, 1966), WKYT was a primary affiliate with ABC and carried only a few prime-time CBS programs (e. g., Red Skelton and My Three Sons). WKYT only started carrying CBS on a regular basis in 1968. 97.120.133.131 (talk) 05:01, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

I'll take this one! Initial remarks might take a few days. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 13:57, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Lead

• "Winchester Road (US 60) near I-75": comma in between
• "in 1967 and the station returned to CBS, the station eventually": "in 1967, the station returned to CBS and eventually"

Local programming

all fine

Technical information

• "analog signal;[75] due to reception issues.": maybe a comma would be better than a semicolon?

History

• Their announcement came the same day that WVLK abandoned their application for channel 18 for similar reasons, leaving WLEX unopposed in its bid to start WLEX-TV on channel 18.: The WLEX part seems unrelated; the WVLK part should be reworded, as they only cup up later and so look confusing here.
  • Disagree, but I have reworded this a bit. It's important because WVLK's move got the ball rolling on Lexington's first station.
• properties.[41] (Kentucky: No period, I think?
• Probably no more info after 2007?
  • No, nothing general to the station.
• and also no available free images?
  • I looked—I always do.

Spot-check

Checking every 9th ref in general

• [2]: that operates WLAP
• [9]: grading has started
• [19]: after WVLK had expanded it's original offer
• [28]: would continue as a CBS affliate
• [37]: that would give it a competitive boost
• [46]: they rejcted the offer
• [54]: accustomed to leading
• [64]: hourlong newscasts at 4 p.m. weekdays
• [74]: Apr 16, 2009

Overall

Sammi Brie, this are the only issues I could find. Ping me when done, I'll pass it. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 12:03, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

• @DoctorWhoFan91: Cleaned up the remaining items. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:23, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Great article as always, no issues in the spot-check either. Happy to pass. Congratulations, Sammi Brie DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 18:09, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
