I checked with the FCC and there is no rule stating two stations sharing the same frequency must be licensed to different cities. I deleted that sentence because it is unsourced and can't be backed up 4.142.144.138 13:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC)NormReply

Beth Shayne is not an anchor on WILX, although she is a reporter. She is the 5:30 and 10 anchor on sister station FOX 47. Chris Gervat is also on FOX 47, but he has subbed on WILX very rarely. Beth recently left Fox 47 and moved to North Carolina to work for the NBC affiliate in Charlotte. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.229.189.46 (talk) 15:37, 12 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Unless someone can explain how a list of all staff doesn't violate WP:NOTDIRECTORY, I'm going to remove it again. While I don't necessarily concur with this decision, it has found consensus at a number of different TV Station pages, and I see no reason for WILX-TV to be different.

The problem is that this list is completely relevant to the article. However, with the constant revolving door of many reporters, maybe their section should be eliminated. However, when you want to leave only anchors, it gets foggy. On WILX, the meteorologists (Andy Provenzano and Darrin Rockcole) and sportscasters (Tim Staudt in particular) are far more recognized than the weekend anchors. Combined the weekend anchors have less than 10 years combined at WILX. Tim Staudt has 40 years on air in Lansing, 30 of which are at WILX. (That's a record in the state of Michigan.) Andy and Darrin each have more than 20 years on air. Maybe they aren't nationally recognized, but locally they are. I think at least anchors, meteorologists, and sportscasters should be kept. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.176.244 (talk) 21:04, 21 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
