Discussion

Factual accuracy dispute

I'm concerned about Mikedow (talk · contribs)'s recent edits to this article. His refrences cannot be proven (there are no links to any articles), and I've never heard of it being a WB affiliate before 2005, which is how the station website states it. Can anyone possibly do a little research, and confirm if the refrences at the bottom of the page are indeed true? —Whomp t/c 22:32, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

WTCN had been airing Kids' WB programming before 2005, but they've only been a full WB affiliate for one season (2005-06). -- M (^speak/_spoken) 14:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I talked to Mikedow (talk · contribs), and he said that The Palm Beach County Library, where he says he gets the imformation and refrences, allows its patrons password access to NewsBank, which is probably some database. According to him, it is not availible online or the general public. He did say that the refrences are true, though. He mentions that he also added information to WWHB, WEAT, WLDI, and WFTL.

I don't know if this breaks Wikipedia's policy, but here is the complete article from the Ft. Pierce Tribune:

WTCN to become latest WB affiliate Fort Pierce Tribune (FL) August 9, 1999

Estimated printed pages: 2

WTCN to become latest WB affiliate Mike Sherrill Tribune Staff Writer

TREASURE COAST-- Children will get "Pok symbol 130 f "MS LineDraw" s 9 mon" 12 times a week, adults can enjoy "7th Heaven," and teens can watch Buffy slaying vampires. Viewers of the local television station WTCN can expect some changes this fall as the station becomes a new affiliate of the Warner Bros. network, said Hal Protter, senior vice president of affiliate relations for Warner Bros. The local station will showcase WB's primetime line-up and three hours of the Kid's WB programming Monday through Friday, Protter said. "We're looking to compete successfully with the big three networks," Protter said. "In some markets, like Miami, we're number one on Monday nights." The station will make its fall changes in about three to six weeks, said Bill Brothers, owner of WTCN. The local station has signed on to be a Nielsen-rated station, competing with other area channels for ratings. "This is looking to be a good time for the station," Brothers said. WTCN, broadcast channel 16 and Adelphia channel 12, is not offered by TCI Cablevision in Fort Pierce. Fort Pierce television viewers can pick up the station via an antenna on channel 16. Local programming will still have a home on the network, as will the classic movies and hunting and fishing shows, Brother said. The station also will show several Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coastal Conference college football games and feature local high school sports. Edition: St. Lucie County Copyright, 1999, E.W.

Hopefully I haven't broken any laws and I have answered the question.

@Sammi Brie, Nathan Obral, and Wcquidditch: Here are some Newspapers.com clippings that prove WTCN was a WB affiliate in 1999/2000: Of course, it was only seen in Stuart/Port St. Lucie/Fort Pierce, not in Vero Beach or Palm Beach County. Here are some more search results: Yeah, the article could use a good rewrite. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 23:58, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

Holy mackerel @Mvcg66b3r, you just bumped a 19-year-old talk page thread. The article is crawling with pages that can be clipped now, and maybe I should do that down the line. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 05:18, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

I see no Mention of me August Gabrial, who sold the station to John Warner, under the then name of "Treasure Coast Broadcasters, Inc. Who Broght in Reg Miller to Anchor the local evening news. During this time there where kids shows like Mr Brians Song Around town. Treasure Coast Fishing Repot, and His School Sports with Tom Leary Then Came Bill Brother. He was approched to do a Real Estate Show... and from there went on to Purchase the Station. ~2026-45085-18 (talk) 16:46, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
