  • Symbol confirmed.svg These three articles are new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline in the KWCS-TV article, the articles are neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. Three QPQs have been done. Not finding myself very enthusiastic about these Utah educational transmitter articles, I would suggest that the original hook is of more general interest than the others.

Template:Re Symbol question.svg Hi, I came to promote this. I agree the orignal hook is more of general interest, but I checked A-63 of the cited source and couldn't find any claim about being more educational outlets than commercial one. Can you point me to it? HaEr48 (talk) 12:41, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
Template:Ping You're gonna have to do a bit of math. A-63 contains the Utah listings, and the stations with a * in front of their call letters are noncommercial. The stations listed are: *KUSU-TV, *KOET, *KWCS-TV, *KBYU-TV, KCPX-TV, KSL-TV, *KUED, KUTV. Five non-coms, three commercial outlets. Raymie (tc) 08:19, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
Template:Ping Any issues? SL93 (talk) 01:20, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
Template:Re That makes sense. Thanks Template:U for clarifying it. The only part that's not obvious to me is whether noncommercial implies "educational" (as opposed to other noncommercial purposes such as political, religious, etc.) but if the author thinks it is something obvious then I will assume good faith and not dispute it.

Template:Re I do, in this context. FCC rules and guidelines refer to "noncommercial educational" broadcasting stations. All of them were carrying educational TV programming for schools at the time, too, and all five were owned by educational institutions (three universities and two school systems).
