Good article criteria
[edit]
Well written
[edit]Lead
- alongside Pine Bluff–licensed CW affiliate KASN (channel 38). This could be changed to
alongside the nearby Pine Bluff–licensed CW affiliate KASN (channel 38)
. I presume KASN is mentioned because it is a nearby station, because according to Mission Broadcasting, it owns 29 full-power television stations.- Little Rock and Pine Bluff are in the same TV market.
- The stations share studios... Is this referring to KASN, because there are several other stations mentioned in the preceding sentence. This could be changed to
KLRT-TV and KASN share studios...
- Nope, all four. Clarified. This is an unusual arrangement in US television, what might be called a "double duopoly".
- South Victory Street (near the Arkansas State Capitol) in downtown Little Rock. Change to
South Victory Street near the Arkansas State Capitol in downtown Little Rock
. Sentences without brackets are better than with brackets, so brackets should be replaced where possible. - the network moved its affiliation to KLRT-TV in 1990. This confuses me. I though the preceeding sentence was talking about KLRT-TV.
- Yes, and this is a bit bizarre. Fox programs moved from channel 38 to 16, then back to 38, then back (for good) to 16. Added the words "for good".
- which was then controlled by KLRT-TV under a local marketing agreement. Is this referring to after the acquisition or before?
- Reworded
- Where in the body is the weeknight morning news broadcast mentioned?
a new morning show, Good Day Arkansas, was launched to supplant the existing 7 a.m. newscast on KARZ
History
- Optional: Articles can be linked in the body if already linked in the lead if you so choose.
- a group led by Deborah Mathis, a former KARK-TV news anchor. Could be changed to
a group led by former KARK-TV news anchor Deborah Mathis
. This would reduce the numbers of commas, which would be helpful in a sentence with commas and semicolons.- Done
- Is there a reason two of the final bidders are not mentioned. Article says there were eight final bidders and mentions six specifically. Are they just not notable?
- I mentioned bidders with large shares in the final licensee and bidders linked to notables (e.g. Milton Grant — this is part of a planned GT).
- (While in the general area, KRZB-TV did not reach Little Rock with its signal. It closed down in March 1988.) Would this work better as an explanatory footnote?
- Reworded a bit. I am really baffled that the Little Rock papers considered KRZB-TV competition. (I wrote that article too.) It did not reach Little Rock, which was really reason #1 it failed.
- South. Link Southern United States (assuming that's what it's referring to.
- Done
- What/who is Pruett?
- Thank you, that info needed to be copied over from KASN. The Pruett family owned KASN at this time.
News operation
- In early February. What year is this?
- 2013. Added.
Verifiable with no original research
[edit]Spotchecks done for reference 4, 12, 13, 16, 24, 29, 37, 50, 52, 62, 73
- As part of a liquidation of Newport Television's assets, Nexstar Broadcasting Group purchased KLRT and KASN in a 12-station deal worth $285.5 million (equivalent to $364 million in 2022) on July 19, 2012. Are you sure that is the date the sale actually went ahead or is it just the date the sale was announced?
- Added a new ref here and reworded in a way which will obviate this issue.
- Ref 52 is not loading for me.
- FCC CDBS refs are bad at this. Replaced with a new ref in a slightly different place.
Broad in its coverage
[edit]
Neutral
[edit]
Stable
[edit]
Illustrated, if possible
[edit]- Optional: Alt text for all images.
- Added to the other two logos (which I was considering removing)
- An image of any of the station's various buildings or the transmitter would be good, but it's fine if there are none available on Commons.
- I do a before check on every page I bring to GAN, but nothing came up. Not all that uncommon for my articles in this topic.
