It is a variation on mntv logo. 162.84.172.128 16:03, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Huh????? Gingermint ( talk) 23:16, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
I would like to see the logo from February moved out of the logo gallery and into the article near a discussion of the creation of My Network TV, without disrupting the article. Can someone more experienced in Wiki-code who knows what parts of the caption to cut do that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Morgan Wick ( talk • contribs)
I've reverted back for three reasons:
1: the line about Nets conflict games previously airing on WLNY (added by IP user "71.247.161.235") has NOTHING to do with this article; that fact is trivial. It belongs in WLNY, not here.
2: CoolKatt number 99999's attempt to restructure this article is unnecessary.
3: Johnissoevil's addition on the North Bergen tower, while being an important fact, can be rewritten, but I'll leave that up to him to do.
Rollosmokes 05:50, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Prior to the current Yankee and Nets games airing on WWOR, YES Network produced over the air games on other stations. The Yankee games were on WCBS-TV and the Nets games were on WLNY. Rollosmokes has deleted those references, citing it is unneccesary trivia. I believe that is more than mere trivia and has a place in the article.
Even if it is trivia, isn't one of the purposes of Wikipedia to share our knowledge with others. Even the smallest fact can create so much insight, and give one a better understanding of the subject. It is not like this article is too long.
I'd appreciate comments from Rollosmokes and others on the subject.

Too much has been done recently to make a mess of what had been a decently-written article. The last revision looked too sloppy, so I had to make the changes to simplify it once again.
I know what CK, David Levy, and maybe others will say about this: I am claiming ownership of this article. As hard as it may be for you to believe (especially CoolKatt, the biggest practictioner of WP:OWN), I am NOT. My only focus here is to write in an effective manner that KEEPS IT SIMPLE. That's all. Rollosmokes 17:30, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm seeing zero cooperation and a disruptive number of reversions. If this continues, I'm going to request that the article be temporarily protected. This will lock it into the wrong version for someone, so I suggest that you stop reverting and start discussing. — David Levy 18:45, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
I've blocked CoolKatt number 99999 for 24-hours for violating the three-revert rule. I offered to unblock on the condition that CoolKatt discuss the matter in good faith on this talk page and not revert again for at least 24 hours. CoolKatt then proceeded to post a message here, threatening to nominate the article for deletion. (I don't know how this occurred, as I never unblocked.) This obviously doesn't qualify as good faith, so the block stands. — David Levy 19:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Could someone more familiar with the My9 news team put up a list of its current anchors and reporters, similar to what's at the WPIX article? Also FYI, it looks like tonight was the last day at work for Rolland Smith and Cathleen Trigg. -- SHODAN 03:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
With Channel 9 dropping UPN on August 31 and not becoming MNTV until a few days later, would that make the station an interim independent for those few days? John 23:32, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I didn't put this in the main article because I felt it's just trivial info. But that's just me. Tonight, I was at work (I work in Sea Bright, NJ), and I saw several NYC news trucks ride by. The WWOR news trucks still have the "Box 9" logo used between the time they dropped UPN from their branding and the time they added the "my" to the old logo. Probably won't be long before they replace it with the current "My 9" logo. John 05:22, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Several folks who use IP addresses instead of screennames, specifically " 205.188.116.204" and " 69.34.89.183", have been insisting on editing this article without READING WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN. Hence, their results have been redundant and their additions are unnecessary. An explanation:
I revamped the article on October 28, removing the logo gallery and placing the logos within the text. With all of the fair-use image galleries being purged from television articles, I felt compelled to make these changes, as I believe the images should be kept, gallery or not. As you can see, the logos are all placed in areas of the text based on chronology. Rollosmokes 06:39, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
The current article says:
Call letters meaning: WWOR, the original calls, with an extra letter added
And, while that's certainly true, it doesn't explain where WOR came from in the first place. I looked in the article & don't see where the original callsign came from. So really I have 2 questions: 1) Where did WOR come from, and can it be added to the article 2) Shouldn't that info also be in the infobox?
Thanks in advance. -- Diogenes00 00:14, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
In response to David Levy's questions:
1. Why are you removing the interim "9" logo in favor of the logo that appears at the beginning of the article?
There are already lots of historical logos in this article already. Does removing one **interim** logo take away anything that is overly significant to the article as a whole?
2. Why are you replacing a high-quality PNG with an inferior JPEG of the same logo?
Who says JPEGs are inferior? You say they are, so I guess they must be. Anyhow, there are tons of other JPEG images on Wikipedia that are of good quality. Do you plan to purge all of these images also?
Specifically here, Image:WWOR_NewJersey.jpg is the official WWOR-TV logo, as it appears on the News Corporation website. If you cared to notice, it has both a proper licensing tag, and the fair-use rationale template. There is nothing wrong with this logo, as there was nothing wrong with replacing one of the temporary logos -- until YOU decided there was a problem. Rollosmokes 16:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:Wwortv200.png 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 this Wikipedia article 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 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.

Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in the article. Not including this type of material in articles abides by current consensus and is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). thanks Deconstructhis ( talk) 03:52, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
