The proper name for WDTN's chief competitor is WHIO-TV, not WHIO. The former are actually the call letters of the television station. The latter should link to the radio station, which predates the television station.

• Correction on that: WHIO should link to a disambiguation page, which will then allow the readers to decide whether they wanted WHIO-TV or WHIO radio. -SwissCelt 16:11, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WNBC-style infobox

I'm using the infobox from the "Template:Infobox Broadcast" used on WNBC-TV and other television stations. This is so to minimize bad infobox edits in the future: I realize that the previous infobox was hard to edit, and I don't believe there exists a template for that style.

[edit] Dayton and out-of-town affiliates

Dayton's not that unique, in having out-of-town affiliates nearby. Youngstown has been served by stations in Cleveland and Pittsburgh; the metro's cable systems still carry either Cleveland or Pittsburgh stations (if not both). Toledo is served by Detroit. Erie is served by Cleveland and Buffalo. And poor WLIO in Lima... it's had to compete in at least parts of its footprint against WSPD/WTVG/WNWO in Toledo, WCMH in Columbus, WLWD/WKEF/WDTN in Dayton-Springfield, and WISE in Ft. Wayne... with Cleveland's WKYC, Detroit's WDIV, and Indianapolis's WTHR all within reach of a good antenna. -- SwissCelt 23:09, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pastwdtnlogos.PNG

Image:Pastwdtnlogos.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
