- ... that in the span of three days, a Florida man was approved by bankruptcy courts to buy two Virginia TV stations and arrested on charges of laundering millions in drug money? Source: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/119472738/stations-sales-put-in-doubt-indictment/
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Greeting Prelude and Template:Did you know nominations/Oakdale Golf & Country Club
- Comment: Double DYK — these two stations go together to the point where WWCW calls half of WFXR by labeled section transclusion. Note that courts (plural) is intended: WVFT was in Tampa bankruptcy court, while WJPR was in Lynchburg bankruptcy court.

- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- I am a bit concerned about having these two links so close together, as they might violate MOS:SEAOFBLUE (there is no indication that "two Virginia" and "TV stations" lead to different articles unless you hover over them). Perhaps rewording the hook would help.
QPQ: Done. |
Overall: @Sammi Brie: Nice work on both articles. I just had a concern about the hook, though. Epicgenius (talk) 13:47, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: Understandable. This is a toughie. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:34, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Looks good to me. Thanks for coming up with ALT1, Sammi. (This one is 180 characters, since I ignored the second bolded link, but I'd suggest deleting "the span of" to shorten it even more.) Epicgenius (talk) 16:39, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
