Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 20:09, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Infobox looks good.
• Excellent lead (well-sourced and of reasonable length)!

History of channel 3 in Salem

• Remove the comma after "Salem in 1952".
• "Telecasters's" → "Telecasters'"

• I consider "Salem Telecasters" a singular noun per MOS:POSS, so I left this as is.

• No other issues (also well-sourced).

KVDO-TV as a commercial independent

• "telecasting February" → "telecasting on February"
• "first ever" → "first-ever"
• "with quality" → "with the quality"
• Remove the comma after "$410,000".

Sale to OEPBS

• "by Oregon Educational" → "by the Oregon Educational"
• Remove the comma after "lead by December".
• Add a comma after "two newscasts"
• "prime time" → "primetime" or "prime-time"

Public KVDO

• "including of the" → "including the"
• "of channel 16, while" → "for channel 16 while"
• "Deschutes County" → "Deschutes County's"
• That hatnote at the bottom seems out of place. Move it somewhere else, or a #See_also section can be made.

References

• Try archiving sources (especially those from Newspapers.com, which will disappear if the title changes).
