Overall:
I only have some issues with the hooks: Both seem to somewhat mix up the subject of this DYK nom,
WMYD, and the related
ON TV (TV network). It seems to me as it was ON TV that did join the game late, which was caused by WMYD "blocking" the signal (?) with their previous program. (I must admit that I don't know much about the technical aspects involved here, so I might have gotten it wrong.) Similarly, ALT1 is mostly about ON TV, its backers, and its failure, and only indirectly about WMYD – I don't find that particularly interesting, but maybe because as a European neither of the two linked people are recognizable to me.
I'd approve an ALT0a where it's clearer what actually happened. And frankly I'd scrap the "contract dispute" part as well, it doesn't add much. IMO it should just say ON TV couldn't start broadcasting in time, because of Channel 20, and as a result fans missed 5 goals. (But again if I got the technical situation wrong, do correct me.) -- LordPeterII ( talk) 15:44, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
