This looks an interesting article and a cursory glance shows it is likely to be close to meeting the Good Article criteria already. I will start a full review shortly. simongraham (talk) 15:09, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The lead is reasonable with a length of 284 words.
Authorship is 83.1% from the nominator with small contributions from 58 other editors..
It is currently unassessed but Rater states that it is worthy of B' class status or higher.

Criteria

The six good article criteria:

It is reasonable well written.
the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct;
- The prose is clear with key terms explained or wikilinked.
- There are no obvious spelling or grammar errors
it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead, layout and word choice.
- It seems to comply with the Manuals of Style.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
it contains a reference section, presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
- A reference section is included; the sources listed have all the information needed.
all inline citations are from reliable sources;
- Spot checks confirm 4 ("Anderson Station Protests Location Of Spartan Tower"), 9 ("Seek Arguments On Spartan TV"), 17 ("WAIM-TV Is Off Air Now"), 21 ("TV, Radio Stations' Ownership Transferred"), 43 (""WAXA-TV will be sold to Chicago company"), 64 ("News Corp. Unveils MyNetworkTV"), 65 ("Sinclair Signs On to MyNetworkTV") and 71 ("Some of state's TV stations switching to digital Tuesday") all speak on the subject and are used appropriately.
it contains no original research;
- All relevant statements have inline citations.
- Kersmarki 1998 does not explicitly state that there was no eventual sale, but it is clear from the subsequent paragraph that the negotiations with Jones was superseded.
- I see no other obvious areas of uncertainty.
it contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism;
- Earwig gives a 1% chance of copyright violation, which is reported as "violation unlikely".
It is broad in its coverage
it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
- The article covers the main aspects of the topic.
it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
- The article does go into a high level of detail but is generally compliant as it is comparable to other articles on the topic.
It has a neutral point of view.
it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to different points of view.
- The article seems generally balanced, although it relies heavily on contemporary news sources.
It is stable.
it does not change significantly from day to day because of any ongoing edit war or content dispute.
- There is no evidence of edit wars.
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
images are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content;
- There is a map that is compliant.
images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
- I see that the logo was previously removed. Although not a GA criteria, it would be great to see at least the logo added.

@Sammi Brie: I believe that this article meets the criteria to be a Good Article.

Thanks, @Simongraham. I'd like to explain the logo removal. WMYA is an odd station in that it basically had the soul ripped from its body. Since its main subchannel is a national digital multicast television network, we don't use its logo. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:37, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. Thank you.
