Categories of Availability
editWhere the channel's "availability" is concerned, I take it to mean availability on cable and/or satellite. What about stations that are not available on Canadian cable or satellite, but available terrestrially? One good example are the low-powered stations in Detroit (such as WUDT-CA). -- azumanga 02:11, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps we should give them their own section in off-cable/off-listing section. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 20:50, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Most of the .2's and .3's are missing from the cable; in one case a 750kW Fox -DT2 some 40 miles away is notable by its absence from CATV and from local newspaper TV listings. Signal comes in solidly on a new TV with an antenna, so belongs in the list. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 23:51, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

List of United States stations available in Canada → List of United States television stations available in Canada – The word "stations" is ambiguous; this article deals specifically with television stations.

- Support - CONSISTENT with counterpart page List of Canadian television stations available in the United States. -- Netoholic @ 12:46, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
- Question - why not "American television stations"? Unreal7 (talk) 16:51, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
- That would also work. O.N.R. (talk) 20:00, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
- I'd oppose that, as the topic relates to two North American countries. -- Netoholic @ 21:09, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
- "American" as a demonym is understood to refer to the United States. O.N.R. (talk) 10:38, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support adding the word "television" for precision. Leaning support on the separate matter of changing "United States" to "American".
intitle:"List of American"gives 518 results,intitle:"List of United States"gives 1,768 results. But the situation is complicated by redirects (is there a way to exclude those from the search?), and false positives on both sides like List of American Idol finalists and List of United States Marine Corps installations. But the use of both as adjectivals in titles is definitely attested. Seems like there's a trend of using "United States" in articles about government (and possibly geography), and "American" in other contexts. Colin M (talk) 18:23, 28 June 2019 (UTC) - Support to avoid ambiguity. First, the current title could refer to train stations, etc., and the other proposed move target is ambiguous because, per O.N.R., it could be confused with the term "North American." --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 22:18, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

List of United States television stations available in Canada → List of American television stations available in Canada – Per naming conventions. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 00:23, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose - mixes usage of a demonym and a country name. Keep it consistent. This is about stations based in the United States... "American television stations" could imply "American-owned", "American-style", etc. -- Netoholic @ 17:09, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose We're moving away from demonyms, not toward them, in page titles of this sort. See Talk:List of television stations in Canada#Requested move 12 June 2020. Raymie (t • c) 22:34, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
