Brief ABC affiliation period

I went through back issues of the Waco Tribune-Herald today looking for dates. KCEN was listed as NBC in May 1984, but gradually transitioned to mostly ABC during June, and was almost completely ABC by July 1984, carrying only Days of Our Lives and The Tonight Show. Those last two shows were dropped December 1, 1984, in preparation for KXXV's sign-on on 3/22/85. Cablevision moved KXAS to the basic tier to provide NBC to Waco viewers in the period between 12/1/84 and KXXV's sign-on. I did not get a chance to go through the rest of 1985 to find the date when NBC moved back to KCEN. Next time I'm in Waco I will stop by the library again and look, unless someone there wants to undertake this task. Incidentally, I must have been mistaken in my memory that KCEN was primary ABC in the mid-70s. I couldn't find any reference in the Trib for this. -- Gridlock Joe (talk) 03:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

rebranding as 9

http://kcentv.vvm.com/admanager/www/images/dtv_300by250.gif KCEN appears to have an updated logo; it replaces the '6' with the station's digital channel, '9', and appears not to retain '6' anywhere in the station's identity - not even as the base numbering for individual virtual channels. Should the new '9' logo be added to this page on the 17^th? --66.102.80.212 (talk) 15:58, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

what channel?

OK, so this station dropped what may have been an ill-advised rebranding to "9". But this article lists the channelnumber as 9, but subchannels at 6.1 and 6.2. Is this right? Seems incorrect. Can someone explain? This artcle seems not to. Thanks. YellowAries2010 (talk) 06:04, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

The station broadcasts over channel 9, but uses PSIP to identify as channel 6. -- Gridlock Joe (talk) 16:35, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material

Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

1. WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
2. As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
3. WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
4. Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 18:37, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
