Is this level of disambiguation necessary? -- Zoe

FWIW the programme the hacker interrupted was a broadcast of the 1977 Doctor Who story "The Horror of Fang Rock". Ironically enough when the normal signal was restored, it was at the part of the story where the Doctor finds the body of a victim electrocuted by the alien monster and his lines are "the shock must have killed him instantly"!

hijacking incident

It seems to me that the hijacking incident doesn't really belong in detail either here or under WGN but rather as a historical incident should have its own article and just be mentioned on these two sites. I'd love to know more about it (having witnessed it when I was living alone --- I thought he was saying something about watching me and such but then decided nobody could be and went to the kitchen until it got fixed.) but don't think it deserves more of the WTTW article's real estate. --Jaibe 19:23, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Separate Article for Soundstage

There should be a separate article for Soundstage, along with a list of performers who have appeared on the show. Mr. WTTW 01:21 Nov 23, 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:New d logo.jpg

Image:New d logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

CRITICISMS

Local and national media watchdogs have found that WTTW has several key challenges.

Block quote <WTTW suffers from layoffs, an overpaid executive staff, embezzlement, and financial mismanagement. It appeals to for profit corporations for funds, staff, and board members. In fact, WTTW holds a place of infamy as being the only station fined by the FCC for excessive commercialism.>

This in turn effects the quality of programming. There are few progressive television programs like Bill Moyers Journal or Now. Also a lack of non-white racial representation on shows such as Chicago Tonight, which itself rarely covers local, national, or international news perferring to cover mostly sports and entertainment. In general WTTW fails to

</regularly present perspectives by labor unions, the poor and working class, ethnic minorities or any of the demographics which comprise Chicago>

Museum?

Did WTTW, at one time, have a studio at the Museum of Science and Industry (in Chicago)? I have a long-ago youthful memory of such, from a Museum visit in perhaps 1963 or 1964. It may have been an exhibit, intended to illustrate how TV broadcasting is implemented. WHPratt (talk) 13:02, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
