This is what I think it should look like:

Current Talent:

Name:	Present Position(s):	Previous Position(s):	Joined KDFW On:
John Q. Anchor	Weekdays at 5, 6, & 10	KXII; KFOR	February 1, 2009

Former Talent:

Name:	Before KDFW:	Presition(s) Held:	Span:	Now At:
John Q. Anchor	WFOR-TV; WSVN	Reporter/Producer, Denison Newsroom	1988-1998	KJTL

What I typed in KDFW's talk page:

"As a viewer of Sherman-Ada for many years, I was recently able to upgrade to an amplified outdoor antenna, and I am viewing KDFW regularly since KXII-DT3 "Fox Texoma" does not have any major news operation. During Fall 2009, Fox broadcast stations air a commercial with music in the background. It contains clips of all the major Fox shows and in between the clips there are mug shots of the area news anchors and other personalities. At the end, a FOX logo appears. KDFW Fox 4 has their news anchors. Since "Fox Texoma" has none, they only show their Fox Texoma logo. Sherman-Ada does not have any local news in High Definition. Also Sherman-Ada is very reflective of the (terrible) quality of things in Oklahoma. There are many repetitive public service announcements and commercials. Now I watch KDFW primarily.

I edited KXII and KTEN's news anchors section. it is in the format of a Wikitable, instead of listing information one after the other.

I did not ask about editing KXII and KTEN. There have not been any objections. While I update their pages frequently, sometimes I miss a few updates, and some other Editor or IP User updates it before me. Whoever these people are, they do not have any objections. They update in the same format.

I figured there are more viewers of KDFW, and more editors of KDFW. If I put in another format, these editors might object and reverse my edits.

Are There Any Objections???????????? Let me know, and explain why. I will start:

I am for this new format (actually for all local news sections of broadcast station articles, not just KDFW) because it would better organize the information about the personalities, especially for the alumni/former talent/past personalities section."

I want to get started right away. I think I will because the present format is too confusing. Don't worry, I won't leave out any information. I might add a bio area for the news anchors.

There is a request to expand this article. And that is what I am going to do.
