The station isn't exactly "absent" from the FCC database; it's listed as "assigned to the U. S. Government." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpschaaf (talk • contribs) 13:03, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

KVZK-2 → KVZK-TV – Now one station Mvcg66b3r (talk) 03:51, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mvcg66b3r: I actually have a G6 out for this to be moved there. The availability of programming information is scarce. Just to get technical info, I'm emailing OPI. This is one station with multiple channels in a way that breaks every US norm, and media references consistently call it KVZK-TV. It actually appears to now be one 6 MHz multiplex on RF 5, but I'm not sure on that. Raymie (t • c) 04:29, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Quite happy to complete the page deletion for the G6 - just make sure it is per comsensus before the move happens. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:35, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: I prefer ALT1. On ALT2, I didn't see "the longest in the Pacific" in the source. It still reads well without the phrase. Excellent 5x expansion and a great read. Royal broil 02:25, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Royalbroil, I ended up removing that part of ALT2. I could have sworn it was in another source but alas... Raymie (t • c) 03:35, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
