I'll review this. IAWW (talk) 13:25, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

when UPN and The WB merged into The CW: This is either excessive detail for the lead, or needs to be explained more so a reader unfamiliar with the subject matter can follow it.

it was rebranded as Fox 35 Plus: "it" is rather ambiguous here. I suggest replacing with "the station"

• For the city of license. It used to be that you could specify any city within 15 miles of the allocation city.

in which the applications would be judged on several criteria, including integration of ownership and management (whether owners were involved in station operations) and an affirmative action criterion on minority ownership: Good explanation. I generally think these articles could do with more explanations like this – they make articles much more accessible for readers unfamiliar with these processes.

• This is also why comparative hearing was written.

which was coming under increased scrutiny: From who? IAWW (talk) 11:33, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

giving Metro a possible edge: Opinion, attribute IAWW (talk) 11:33, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

when work was reported to have started: By who? IAWW (talk) 11:33, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Reworded.

Press charged Rey with delaying the move of WKCF and thus reducing its revenues: Did the court rule in favour of this? IAWW (talk) 11:33, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good :)

As early as October 2001: "As early as" implies it was early, which is an opinion. IAWW (talk) 11:33, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What are "charter outlets"? IAWW (talk) 11:33, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Reworded.

many of which were competitors to these stations—were chosen: Which stations, and were chosen for what? IAWW (talk) 11:33, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

to serve its outgoing UPN stations as well as those that had not been selected for The CW: How are these two groups of stations different? IAWW (talk) 11:33, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good :)

Can you find an image in one of the newspaper reports relating to anything in the history section? IAWW (talk) 13:25, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Alas, nothing I can use. @It is a wonderful world: Just completed the prose changes. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 19:06, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Sammi Brie, thank you for responding to all my points. I am happy with all your changes and explanations. Apologies for a few vacuous comments, I was rather sleepy when I reviewed the prose. You have made the Fox Ownership section way clearer now though, so I can actually follow the text without any difficulty. IAWW (talk) 20:32, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
