List of historical TVOntario transmitters was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 14 April 2020 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into TVO. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here. |
On 5 January 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from TVOntario to TVO. The result of the discussion was moved. |
I thought there was a Wikipedia policy on using official callsigns as the title of articles, rather than the common name. Mjlarochelle 05:20, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Image:Cica.gif 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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:40, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
It appears the "History of Logo's for TVOntario" section is missing or links are invalid for the pictures. Medic48 22:49, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
CityTV is the third oldest. But which is the oldest in Canada? Does anyone know? I can't find any info on this, but would really like to know. 70.49.163.133 20:52, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
I like that GPS coordinates are given for the transmitter locations (makes aiming beam antennae easier, assuming your rotor controller is calibrated), but wouldn't decimal coordinates be better?
i.e. to lose the 'special' characters and make the locations easier to copy and paste into Google Earth, et al.
e.g. If you input 42°9′12″N 82°57′11″W into Google Earth, the actual location for the CICO-DT-32 transmitter is off by about 350m... if you instead copy/paste 42.153400, -82.953000 into Google Earth's Search field and hit Enter, it should take you to the correct location (note the shadow of the tower, and the triangle of guy-wire anchor points). Anyone near Windsor with a Garmin that could see which of those coordinate sets is more accurate? :)

Logo style is not exclusively cut-off at bottom anymore. Their advertising (bus stops, billboards) and facebook/twitter page all show full logos. https://www.facebook.com/TVO/?fref=ts https://twitter.com/tvo etc. CoolCanuck eh? 06:34, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on TVOntario. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

The opening sentence is not accurate: "TVOntario (often shortened to TVO and stylized on-air as tvo) is a Canadian publicly funded English language educational television station and media organization serving the Canadian province of Ontario."
While TVO is primarily funded by the Ontario government, it is also a charitable organization supported by donors across the province. TVO has also evolved from a publicly funded "broadcaster" to a digital media organization and extension of Ontario's public education system offering a variety of educational products.
Suggested edit:
"As the technological extension of Ontario’s public education system, TVO provides learning opportunities for Ontarians through educational products, current affairs, documentaries, and children's resources. TVO is funded primarily by the Province of Ontario and is a registered charity supported by sponsors and donors." Source: https://tvo.org/about
New to Wikipedia so please forgive me if I've missed a step in the protocol for edit requests.

The title of the organization, which also forms the title of the article, is outdated. "TVOntario" has not been in use since the 1990s. When search engines and other platforms cite Wikipedia, the organization is misrepresented across the web, such as in Google and Bing knowledge panels. What would be the best way to change, and accurately reflect, the current name of the organization? Earlbak ( talk) 20:41, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
provincial and educational stations such as TVOntario
But with John Turner: An Intimate Biography of Canada’s 17th Prime Minister, Steve Paikin corrects that record. The veteran host of TVOntario’s The Agenda has given us an insightful portrait
The result of the move request was: moved. Per consensus. ( closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky ( talk) 03:56, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
– This RM is the result of a concern from an editor, User:Earlbak, that the service was no longer known as TVOntario in any context, causing an outdated name to be perpetuated in Knowledge Graph, etc. (See above section.) News sources in Canada are mixed but show an inclination for TVO with some exceptions; note that sometimes Wikipedia keeping an old name keeps it around in the press. Since at least 2006, the TV channel has been known as TVO in legal documents with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, and while TVOntario seemed to persist as a shorthand name for its parent, this was not the case the last time the CRTC renewed its licence in 2015. Pageviews for TVOntario are just under double that of TV Osaka, the next most-viewed television topic of those linked at TVO. No other topics are known as TVO directly (usually an acronym for something else), so it may be a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Opening this to RM to at least gather additional feedback.
