Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 20:09, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
Infobox and lead
[edit]- Infobox looks good.
- Excellent lead (well-sourced and of reasonable length)!
History of channel 3 in Salem
[edit]- Remove the comma after "Salem in 1952".
- "Telecasters's" → "Telecasters'"
- I consider "Salem Telecasters" a singular noun per MOS:POSS, so I left this as is.
- No other issues (also well-sourced).
KVDO-TV as a commercial independent
[edit]- "telecasting February" → "telecasting on February"
- "first ever" → "first-ever"
- "with quality" → "with the quality"
- Remove the comma after "$410,000".
Sale to OEPBS
[edit]- "by Oregon Educational" → "by the Oregon Educational"
- Remove the comma after "lead by December".
- Add a comma after "two newscasts"
- "prime time" → "primetime" or "prime-time"
Public KVDO
[edit]- "including of the" → "including the"
- "of channel 16, while" → "for channel 16 while"
- "Deschutes County" → "Deschutes County's"
- That hatnote at the bottom seems out of place. Move it somewhere else, or a #See_also section can be made.
References
[edit]- Try archiving sources (especially those from Newspapers.com, which will disappear if the title changes).
