What we need now somehow is a collection of old logos and slogans and screenshots taken of WAGM from 1965-now. This could be almost impossible to do, but it would show the reader the history of WAGM, the differences in the set, news style, logos, and even people. Tell me what you think benwnn92@aim.com
Would be impossible to do people. The station changes anchors on a regrular basis, due to the market being a "starter market" for young reporters/anchors. The names that have stayed the same, however, are Jon Gulliver (co-anchor Evening Edition/News Director) and Rene [Rainy] Clukey (Sports anchor/sports director) Sue Bernard was at the station for 20 years and left in 2001. She was replaced by co-anchor Cindy McGinnis who came from Global Television in Halifax. In 2005 McGinnis was replaced with new and current co-anchor Katie Graham.
One reporter, Shawn Cunningham, has been at the station for 5 years now, and is an exception to the usual high turn over rate at WAGM.
This would be great if we could find pictures (either past or present). We need tapes of the newscasts then we can get them on the computer.
TV schedules are not encyclopedic. (see WP:NOT.)
Please post if you have contrasting arguments. -- F a ng Aili 22:57, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
You wouldn't look in Britannica for ANYTHING on a TV station though. Local news is one of the main things this station is known for, infact well known due to its small market size. It is relevent and should be included. This is isn't a programming schedule for every single show on the station, JUST news. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Medicinematt ( talk • contribs)
This is an encyclopedia. If the station is notable it deserves an article. But if I wanted to know it's schedule, I'd buy a TV magazine (or visit the station's web page). BTW, I can't see a notice on the article that says that it's a news station. And even then, the "many TV station articles do have newscast schedules" summary given by last editor is not an explanation - schedules do not belong here. Misza 13 T C 12:11, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
You're mistaken. These aren't schedules for entire programming line ups, but rather are schedules for newscasts, which change infrequently. The news that is on Wednesday at 6:00 will likely be on at 6:00 five years from now. News at WAGM-TV NEWSSource 8 is an important part of this television station and what it is WIDELY known for across the United States, especially in the broadcast industry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Medicinematt ( talk • contribs)
Does WAGM-TV offer its CBS signal on a digital subchannel, like 8.2? RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 20:56, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Fox 8-1 is not broadcast in HD. The FCC allocates 19MB of total bandwidth for the single transmitter which both Fox 8-1 and CBS 8-2 are broadcast from with the majority of the bandwidth going to the CBS channel (approx 15MB) leaving only 4MB of bandwidth for Fox 8-1. Thus it is broadcast in 480i in a 4:3 format and that will not change unless the FCC changes the allowable bandwidth that can be broadcast from the transmitter. 166.248.1.16 ( talk) 18:20, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
