Just a few notes here:

• KELO-TV and its satellites perfectly matched the flow of goods through South Dakota, which centered on Sioux Falls -- clarity? From the second half of the sentence I'm reading this as something like "it was a popular station because Sioux Falls was a manufacturing hub", but I can't see how that follows.
  • More like it was a match to the needs of advertisers.
• Might be worth contextualizing in "Young Broadcasting ownership" how common/uncommon digital TV access was at the time.
  • Good thought.
• UTV is not broadcast in Rapid City, where Rapid-owned KKRA-LP was the MyNetworkTV affiliate -- tense of this sentence is confused
  • Reworded.
• Has anything more come out about the MG/Nexstar ownership in the past 6-10 years?
  • Not...really.
• The news programs grew more sophisticated and professionalized -- do we have a timeline for this?
  • Reworded to be less puffy.
• It's worth (dup)linking KSFY and KDLT in the newscasts section, given it's disproportionately likely readers interested in that section will want to compare their coverage.
  • Done
• Can we give a timeframe on the switch from SD to HD?
  • Done (HD transition of news tends to take up way too much of news sections in articles like this)
• It might be more natural/less choppy to describe the history of the station's programs (introducing morning programs, afternoon programs, etc) in a dedicated paragraph rather than across separate sparse lines.
  • Done. Now with another ref which will help.
• KELO-TV additionally rebroadcasts -- no need for 'additionally'
  • Done

All good. I was wondering if actual statistics existed on how many people had digital-compatible devices at that point, but a Google Scholar search was only semi-helpful. Happy to pass this. Vaticidalprophet 18:21, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
