Fair use rationale for Image:Wbu cwtv.jpg

Image:Wbu cwtv.jpg 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Kingston, Ontario???

"WKTV enjoyed a monopoly in the Utica TV market until 1970 when WUTR signed on as an ABC affiliate. Later in the decade, original owner Kallet Television would sell WKTV to Harron Communications, owner of a chain of cable companies in the Northeast and also then-owner of WMTW in Portland, Maine. During this time, WKTV was carried on cable systems in areas as far-flung as Schenectady and Kingston, Ontario and for a time was carried on cable in Syracuse."

I'm in Kingston, and this looks like nonsense to me. I've never heard of WKTV and the only Utica station I've seen here was WUTR 20 (as 50, back when it was just a Watertown, New York repeater for 20; this is now WWTI). The original lineup on "cable tv kingston" during its construction in the mid-1970's (long before it was sold to Cablenet and eventually Cogeco) looked something like:

2	3 NBC	WSYR, WSTM Syracuse
3	2 "Global"	CIII Bancroft
4	4 CBC	CBOT Ottawa-Hull
5	5 CBS	WHEN-TV, WTVH Syracuse
6	6,8,13 CTV	CJOH 6 Deseronto (13 Ottawa)
7	7 CBS	WWNY-TV Watertown (originally multiple network affiliations, CBS as primary)
8	9 Radio-Canada	CBOFT Ottawa-Hull
9	9 ABC	WNYS, WIXT Syracuse
10	11 CBC	CKWS-TV Kingston
11	--	(deliberately left vacant)
12	16 PBS	WNPE Watertown/Norwood
13	--	Community-local programming, originally all monochrome except for automated time/weather text pattern.

NBC was being distributed as cable 2 in Kingston until that cable slot was given to TV Ontario (24 Ottawa) near the end of the 1970's, moving NBC3 Syracuse to Kingston cable 5, displacing CBS5 Syracuse's signal onto a cable midband (converter-required) channel. Nonetheless, the NBC signal in Kingston has always been from Syracuse. WKTV would've been co-channel to CIII when it signed on (as CKGN) in the mid-1970's; this may be part of the reason it never reached Kingston. Most of the other changes in the 2 - 13 channel range on the cable system merely replaced distant locals with home-DMA channels of the same network as they came on-air. --carlb (talk) 04:55, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
