Hello! I will review this. charlotte ^👸♥ 18:32, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	One minor comment: in § Notable staff, it wasn't clear at first what (Hicken) meant; I'd replace it with something like "then Hicken". charlotte ^👸♥ 20:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	charlotte ^👸♥ 20:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	charlotte ^👸♥ 20:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	Spotchecking: (numbers randomly generated from this permalink) 2: Y 7: This source talks about the plans to build a new tower, but I don't see anything about those plans being denied. 13: Y Don't see the interim transmitter bit, but AGFing that this is in cite 12 (which I cannot access) 21: Y 27: Y charlotte ^👸♥ 21:29, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
	2c. it contains no original research.	charlotte ^👸♥ 21:29, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	Earwig and spotchecks return fine. charlotte ^👸♥ 21:29, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	On the short end, but the bulk of the prose is on the two member station's articles and I don't see room to expand. charlotte ^👸♥ 20:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	charlotte ^👸♥ 20:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	charlotte ^👸♥ 20:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	Some back and forth in the history, but the article is not drastically changing day-by-day. charlotte ^👸♥ 20:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	Website screenshot has a proper rationale; all other images are validly licenced. charlotte ^👸♥ 20:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	charlotte ^👸♥ 20:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
	7. Overall assessment.	Very solid article, unsurprisingly. One minor comment and pending spotcheck. charlotte ^👸♥ 20:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Queen of Hearts: Added the Donna Hicken last name information here. I usually do (known as $NAME while at $STATION), but in her 24-year on-air career, she had three different last names after marrying at different times the sportscaster and the meteorologist. Not kidding. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:27, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- And now she's the mayor! Spotcheck found a minor thing; placing on hold. charlotte ^👸♥ 21:29, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  @Queen of Hearts That should fix it. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:03, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
