ALT1:... that when WIRK-TV ceased operations 64 years ago today, its president congratulated the chairman of the
FCC for "eliminat[ing] another small potato in this era of big business"? Source:
PDF p43
I'll take this review given the short time left for our date request. Article is long/new enough, sources are reliable, no tags, 0% copyright violation, QPQ done, hook is cited (ALT0 is hooky and interesting, ALT1 is good too but readers may not know what FCC and my suggestion would be to spell it out, but at that point the hook is too long for my taste). Please check the recent copyedit I made in the article. Request for February 29 appearance.
