Great stuff there! As a resident of Dunedin for 25 of my most formative years, I was delighted to read the page.

There must be lots more famous Dunedinites... - wasn't Janet Frame born there?

[above text copied from Talk:Dunedin, New Zealand]

It would be great to have a sound file for the NZ pronouncation of "Dunedin" in this article!

Suburbs
A thought about the suburbs... With the three main centres, it makes sense to have separate articles for separate suburbs, With Dunedin, there are quite a number of suburbs that are writing something about, but I doubt that many of them warrant a full article. What I propose to do (unless there's any strong objections) is write an article called Suburbs of Dunedin, and give each of them its own subheading and paragraph or two. If necessary they can be moved to their own articles later, and it avoids having nine or ten new stubs. Good idea, or is it better to write separate articles now? Grutness|hello? 06:17, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC) (copying this article to Talk:Wikiproject NZ places, too)
 * well, it's now one week later (almost to the minute), and there's been no-one saying "Don't do it!", so the article's on its way. Grutness|hello? [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 06:35, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Some of the late additions are out of order or even in the wrong group. One example - Halfway Bush is more outer than Bradford, surely? (OK, tell me I should fix them; but hey I didn't even attend the Labour Weekend 48th anniversary gathering of my classmates chaired by the Mayor! I'll fix them if nobody closer does soon.) Robin Patterson 04:48, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point. Basically anything beyond the inner range of hills is probably dbest described as an outer suburb. I've been wondering whether it's time to start breaking out some of the main suburbs for their own pages, too - probably not all of them deserve separate pages, but a decent article could be written on somewhere like St. Kilda. The main Suburbs of Dunedin page is still a good guide though. Grutness...wha?  07:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

most remote...
I've just removed the following recently-added line:
 * Dunedin is the most remote city in the world from Western Europe. The distance from London is 19100 km.

Dunedin is remote, but this is just too vague. Dunedin and Invercargill are almost exactly equidistant from London, Auckland's most remote from Gibraltar, and Wellington is almost exactly antipodean to Madrid. "Western Europe" is just too vague for this to fly. Grutness...wha?  22:58, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I would scrap the whole paragraph about Dunedin being remote. I live in Dunedin and it doesn't seem remote to me. In terms of being remote from London or Western Europe, what meaning does this purely geographic remoteness have in the age of jet airlines and modern infrastructure? It would be more sensible to call a place remote that was physically hard or time consuming to reach, e.g. the middle of the Taklamakan desert. [MMS]

Separate History of Dunedin page?
There's been some good expansion to the history section lately - so much so that it might be worth breaking it out into a separate page and leaving only a summary here - any thoughts? Grutness...wha?  00:57, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Dunedin music scene in the 1980s
I've just removed the following new addition to the page, which was immediately after the paragraph about the growth of the "Dunedin Sound" in the 1980s:
 * Also at this time, there was what could be described as an "anti-Dunedin sound" core developing, in reaction to the perceived elitism of the Flying Nun clique, comprised of such groups as Let's get Naked, Cactus Club and number of other unsigned, but popular bands.

This is misleading, to say the least. Let's Get Naked, Cactus Club, Gamaunche, Craig Watt, Working With Walt, Wreck Small Speakers, and many of the other Dunedin bands of the era worked alongside Flying Nun bands, and although their sound was far more diverse than that usually associated with Dunedin Sound, they tended to be grouped under the same umbrella, especially by the music scene outside Dunedin. Certainly the development of most of these bands was not "in reaction" to anything related to Flying Nun, but was instead simply in the interests of a wider music scene. Small record labels like Rational and Xpressway produced a reasonable number of these bands (so they could hardly be called "unsigned"), and in many cases compilation albums by these labels featured tracks by artists who were also connected with Flying Nun. A case in point is Xpressway's "Killing Capitalism with kindness" album, which has tracks by everyone from A Handful of Dust to David Kilgour. Other artists worked directly with both Flying Nun and smaller Dunedin labels (David Mitchell, the Jefferies Brothers and Alastair Galbraith, to name but four of them). Grutness...wha?  12:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC) (former lead guitarist and vocalist in two or three mid 80s Dunedin bands)

Although I appreciate some of the comments of the writer above, I find it a bit sad that once again the 'Alternative Dundein music groups' of the 80's has been disassociated from the core 'Dundein Sound' groups. Maybe it just goes to prove that there was indeed a certain elitism involved with that movement. I was in a couple of the 'alternative' groups, namely Cactus Club & Fast Food at 8.' Although we did have opportunity to play alongside several of the 'Dundein Sound' bands, there was by in large, two very differing spheres of music existing in that era. It was difficult to forge an identitiy of our own, as the 'Dundein Sound', from my experience at least, was quite exclussive in many ways and we often felt viewed as outsiders. Please don't get me wrong, I personally liked many of the 'Dundein Sound' bands and went to their gigs. Although our bands were less popular nationwide, many of our bands were also able to pack out the venues in Dunedin at that time. The only references to the Dunedin music scene of the 80's on the net are always the 'Dundein Sound'. That's why it's sad that the original statement was removed from the Dunedin Page. So for history's sake (and for the integity of those bands concerned), there was indeed an alternative and vibrant music scene in Dundein at that time, forging out their own Dundin Sound. The alternative sound did develop of its own accord, however, I believe a major antecedent to this was in reaction to the perceived elitism of the 'Dunedin Sound.' 118.96.190.229 (talk) 02:21, 4 September 2010 (UTC) David Price (Pricey.)
 * It's not so much disassociating them from the Dunedin sound bands, just disassociating them from the sound associated with the Dunedin Sound and with what many people instantly thought of when they heard the term "Dunedin Sound". As I said, it's more a case that people tended to associate the Dunedin Sound with Flying Nun, though there was a considerable and more diverse music scene not recording for that label (e.g., all the Xpressway artists). My own bands (The Kaftans and The Moomins) were in very much the same situation as Cactus Club as far as that was concerned (in fact, IIRC our former drummer Riki Agnew later played with Cactus Club...). I certainly don't remember that any perceived elitism from the Nun bands was in any way part of the reason for the rise of this "anti-Sound" movement - it was more a case that there was a vibrant music scene in the town and that made it easier for other bands to start up and become part of it, irrespective of their sound. Of course, as the old saying goes, your mileage may vary. Grutness...wha?  04:27, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Fourth largest city in the world by land area?
This article (in its Geography section) claims that Dunedin is the fourth largest city in the world by land area. I've also heard "fifth-largest" quoted elsewhere. However, comparing the land area (3314.8km²) to the areas listed at List of cities by surface area, Dunedin would be around position #26. Does anybody have a reference for this claim? --Ghewgill 18:52, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. Odd. I've always heard it as fourth largest - and also heard Mt Isa (Australia) being the biggest. perhaps there has recently been some sort of regional reorganisation in China, since most of the ones on that list 9to which I've now added Dunedin) seem to be in the PRC... Grutness...wha?  22:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * That list seems slightly problematic. For example, nowhere in Wood Buffalo, Alberta is it described as a city, but as a very large non-dividable municipality. Similary prefecture-level city suggests that such administrative units are not really cities. On the other hand, there's quite a nice list here of populations, land areas, and population densities that avoids the silliness of legal boundaries, and measures conurbations and developed urban areas. Of course, by that definition, the largest city in the world is the tri-state area. It also has Sydney well ahead of Mt Isa, and gives Dunedin an estimated 85km2. However, depending on what you consider a city, by some measures, Dunedin probably is around number 4. --Limegreen 23:53, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Noted inhabitants
this entry is getting long, perhaps best to create new entry of noted inhabitants of Dunedin? Michellecrisp 06:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Wide Images
Is there any particular reason why we need to use the wide image template and a width of 1200 pixels for the panoramas on this page? I would have thought that the 800 pixel wide thumbnails we had were perfectly adequate, especially given the large number of panoramas on this page. Wellington still uses the smaller size, so why differ. Anyway, if anyone is more interested in a particular panorama, then they can simply view the full-sized version. In fact, perhaps we don't really need to include both of my mount Cargill panoramas? (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 08:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Map
Do we need to use that map? It's pretty horrible, and I notice the same thing has been done to Auckland and Christchurch. Would it be better to have an atlas map of NZ in the background and an inset of the South Island with Dunedin coloured in?

And with the current map... we are not a dot at the bottom of the peninsula, there should be way more red! Remember Dunedin is big ;) Timothy 16:15, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Most atlases are copyright, and therefore not suitable. And one of the few freely useable (the CIA factbook) isn't very much to scale. However, if you think you can draw a better one, or that it needs more red, then you are able to edit it.--Limegreen 22:42, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

We could always replace it with one of the PD maps I've made for other NZ towns and cities (e.g., the one for Milton). Grutness...wha?  09:48, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation
How is Dunedin pronounced?

Don/Done - eeh/a - din/dun/dean?

Split out Notable inhabitants?
A few months back there was a suggestion to split the notable inhabitants section out into a separate article. The section is now getting very big and quite messy, so perhaps the idea should be revisited... Grutness...wha?  00:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It's got my vote, looking at the London and New York City (FA) articles for comparison I don't see such a section at all. XLerate 04:25, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. I quite like the list, as long as it's maintained and kept current, but I agree that it is probably big and ugly enough to warrant its own page now. kabl00ey 15:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Just nit-pickin' here...
Surely the albatross colony is on an island? --Pete 12:21, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The article doesn't day that it isn't! What it says is that it's on the mainland, which it is - at the end of Otago Peninsula. It's the only place in the world where there's a Royal Albatross colony on an inhabited landmass - a landmass which is simultaneously an island (the South Island) and the mainland of NZ rather than a smaller offshore island. Grutness...wha?  23:39, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Obscure sentence, is this right
"Modern archaeology favours a date round 1100 AD for the first human (Māori) occupation of New Zealand with population concentrated along the south east coast."

This seems very strange ? Maori population concentrated along the south east coast ? Of New Zealand ? Of the South Island ? Surely most of the Maori lived in the North Island originally as they do today. Is the intention to mean, most of the South Island Maoris lived on the south east coast. I have no idea. The meaning is obscure. Someone more knowledgeable than me should consider revising this sentence.Eregli bob (talk) 10:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I've given it a minor tweak which hopefully will clarify things a bit. Grutness...wha?  00:13, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I wrote the sentence in the original form. It may sound strange but it's true. It's a widespread but mistaken belief that the Archaic population distribution was the same as that encountered by Cook. It wasn't. It was concentrated along the east coast of the South Island with just a very few people living in the very far north. Hardly any of the North Island was settled before 1350 and it was relatively thinly populated until about 1500. You can see something of this in the maps in Hamel, J (2001) The Archaeology of Otago, Wellington NZ: Department of Conservation ISBN 0-478-22016-2; also in those in Anderson, A (and others) (1996) Shag River Mouth Canberra, Aus; The Australian National University OCLC 34751263 ISBN 0-7315-0342-1 and Roger Duff's classic study of the Moa Hunters is also useful. No access to bibliographic details.) I traversed the matter briefly in Entwisle, Peter The Otago Peninsula John McIndoe Ltd., Dunedin NZ 1976 and again in Entwisle, Peter Behold the Moon the European Occupation of the Dunedin District 1770-1848 Port Daniel Press, Dunedin NZ 1998 at p.18. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter Entwisle (talk • contribs) 12:07, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

The original sentence means exactly what it says and I put it like that after careful consideration. The population was 'concentrated along the south east coast' which in the context means 'of New Zealand' and yes, that's the east coast of the South Island - from Wairau Bar in Marlborough to the Catlins in South Otago. That's where all the big sites are. I wouldn't claim a preponderance for the southern part of the South Island's east coast but there was definitely a concentration in what is now the Dunedin coastal area. There was another to the north from about Palmerston to Oamaru and another south of what is now the Dunedin coast.This is between about 1100 and 1450. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter Entwisle (talk • contribs) 12:14, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Climate
Hi, just to get some discussion going on the climate. The Foehn/ Northwest wind in winter is not cold, it's dry and warm. This is the same for all locations along the east of New Zealand....Napier, Hastings, Kaikoura, Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin primarily. Check out a forecast in the winter. In strong NW you will find maxima in the region of 20C. It's worth noting (perhaps this may go in the main article) that in August of 2007, Dunedin recorded New Zealand's highest temperature (incredible, I know) of 22.2C. This occurred in classic Northwest conditions. Certainly not a cold wind. Whilst it is true that Central Otago is cold, this does not make it a cool wind. The source of the warmth is that it is sinking, dry air which heats up very quickly due to thermodynamic processes. This doesn't change even in winter. The Foehn wind also happens elsewhere, and a good example is in Canada. In the Calgary area, these Chinook winds are very common. In winter they are warm and melt snow, bring plants out of dormancy and other assorted problems. And the Canadian landmass is much, much colder than Central Otago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.154.145.45 (talk) 09:03, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Addition to this: corrected statement....Rangiora got the warmest winter temperature (22.4C), not Dunedin, but Dunedin's August 22.2C was the highest that month. http://www.niwascience.co.nz/ncc/cs/monthly/mclimsum_07_08

Also, not sure I agree with the claim that Middlemarch frequently reaches into mid 30s. Mainly because it can't be verified. Is there a weather station in that town? Sure, you can have people in their back gardens claiming 40C+ all summer long in Central and Canterbury....the problem is that they are recorded in conditions that are not standard the whole world over, so they can't be used to back-up claims. Central Otago is actually cooler than many locals would like to think (though I would still personally describe their summers as hot). The warmest summer towns in NZ are Kawerau (BOP) and probably Hastings, not Central. Unfortunately, it's hard to find climatic data for this sort of thing. It would probably be reasonable to claim that Central exceeds 30C with frequency in summer. But the fact that the warmest temperature (officially) so far this summer is 34.8C (Timaru), I find it highly unlikely that anywhere reaches into the "mid-30s" (let alone the high 30s that was originally claimed) with genuine frequency. An interesting point is that Alexandra so far this year has been on average 5C warmer than normal, an extremely, extremely hot year in climatological terms (http://www.niwascience.co.nz/ncc/cs/monthly/mclimsum_08_01).

 * As most people who've lived in Dunedin for any length of time will know, the Foehn winds which come from the northwest in winter are significantly cooled by the ground conditions in Central Otago, making them icy cold - if the wind blows from the northwest in winter in Dunedin, you get thick frosts, which wouldn't occur if the wind was still warm by the time it reached us. Yes, there is usually a few hours of hot weather before hand - known to some locals as "Dragon's breath", since it is a forewarning of bitter weather for the following couple of days - but the wind then rapidly cools. As for the Middlemarch temperatures, no, there is no official reading from Middlemarch, but there used to be an official reading taken in Ranfurly, which has largely similar weather conditions. That station regularly peaked above 33.3 C (33.3 - 36.7 being logical to describe as the mid 30s). It is not unnatural to consider similar conditions likely in Middlemarch. Grutness...wha?  21:48, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

 * The reason you get this few hours of warm weather is because of the Foehn wind, warm and from the Northwest. The rapid cooling you talk of is nothing to do with Central Otago. What happens is you get a strengthening Northwesterly, bringing you this "Dragon's breath" you speak of, warm and gusty winds- this then switches to being icy cold because the wind changes to a southerly, *not* because the NW has somehow managed to get cooled by Central.

 * This is a standard meteorological effect that hits of all the east of New Zealand. The hottest weather often occurs at the end of the Northwesterly, this is a sign that within a few hours the southerly will kick in and temperatures will plunge. In winter, of course this brings you your icy conditions under the often cool and clear skies that follow a southerly (southerly air is often quite dry).
 * As fronts approach from the west (generally), the northwester kicks in and the west coast gets buckets of rain whilst the east will get high temperatures. When the front passes, you get the southerly change and the drop in temperatures. The east is more exposed to a southerly, so the change is more pronounced all down the pacific coastline.
 * Next time this happens, look at a synoptic chart, you will see the isobars marking the NW wind for Dunedin etc, and behind the approaching front they will be oriented in a southerly (or south-westerly) direction. This front can pass quickly, hence you may only get the NW for a few hours of a day, followed by the cold southerly.
 * Central Otago is not capable of significantly cooling a Foehn wind. It's not big enough, it's not cold enough and it cannot over-ride the driving force of the warmth, which is adiabatic heating from the air sinking on the leeward side of the mountains. From your observations it is clear that what you're describing is a common NW -> S change. Wikipedia has good articles on chinook winds and foehn winds. The Foehn is often responsible for record winter temperatures all over the world, even in the UK which has very small mountains (on the east of Scotland they once recorded 18C or 19C thanks to a Foehn wind from the southwest). Any cooling that follows is due to change of wind direction.

 * This may be the standard meoteorological effect in much of New Zealand, but it is not what you seem to get in Dunedin winters. You get weather in the following pattern:
 * 1) Warm, dry "Dragon's breath" from the nor'west for a few hours
 * 2) Icy, very dry winds from the nor'west for two or three days
 * 3) Cool, stormy, wet winds from the south for several days

 * It is this three-note pattern that is common in winter. The second phase of it is distincly the coldest, and also is distincly from the northwest. The southerly change which occurs as you point out due to the typical southern oscillation pattern doesn't occur ntil some considerably time after the change in temperature. Grutness...wha?  23:08, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

 * There's nothing particularly special about Dunedin that should make it vulnerable to a "cooling" NW. Canty Plains should be subject to it also, being downstream of MacKenzie Country. And why do we not get this cooling of a Foehn wind in other countries where the land is larger and colder?
 * There are issues with what you are claiming:
 * 1) The source of the air is over the Tasman Sea. Even in winter, at the latitude of Dunedin the SST there would be perhaps about 12C, getting up to 15C around Northland. This is pretty warm for winter water compared to other parts of the world (eg Northern Europe).
 * 2) Without the Foehn effect, this would produce a fairly mild wind, leading to daytime highs in the region of 10C-15C, depending on location and various other factors.
 * 3) Given the Foehn effect which does occur in NW conditions, this wind is stripped of moisture and heats up significantly on the leeward side- this is the basic driving force of the NW wind. Heating over land does occur in summer, but this only adds the odd degree or two. The reason for this is:
 * 4) Air is a very poor conductor of heat. Passing a wind over warm land will only heat it up slightly in New Zealand because the country is so small. All air coming to NZ has a very long track over sea, this gradually allows either warming or cooling of the air depending on season and air source- it's not efficient and it's only because of the long track that this occurs. However, if we want the land in NZ to significantly heat up our air, we are out of luck. As I mentioned in (3), you will get the odd degree or two but nothing massive.
 * 5) This all applies in winter also. We have a mild air source out at sea, which due to the Foehn effect ends up even warmer on the leeward side. It is possible that the air is cooled by passing over Central Otago- but the idea of it turning from a warm wind to one that is "icy cold" (in such a short distance) is notably un-physical. It cannot happen.

 * There are two basic means of heating up out atmosphere: Conduction and Convection. Conduction is hopelessly inefficient- relying on direct contact from land-to-air and then air-to-air. Given the insulating properties of air, alarm bells start ringing when someone claims that air can turn from warm to icy cold in such a small distance using this process.

 * A famous scientist once said that if the theory doesn't match the evidence then the theory needs revising. However, in this case the theory is very well understood, from several angles, even a non-meteorologist (say, a physicist with a bit of skill in thermodynamics) would recognise the processes that are occurring. The evidence suggests that your observations are wrong, how do you claim this cold wind is "distinctly from the northwest"? Can you get readings from a standardised meteorological station to prove this? Because at the moment we have considerable scientific weight versus unverified personal observations. In an encyclopaedia one of these is very much out of place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.154.145.45 (talk) 05:48, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I can't point to documentary evidence. I agree that it seems odd that the temperature of the wind drops significantly before the change of wind direction, and have puzzled about it for many years, since it was pointed out to me by my then girlfriend, who was a met. office worker at Dunedin Airport (which dates it - they haven't had a manned met. station there for some decades AFAIK, though I doubt the weather patterns have changed much since then). However, that is distincly the way the weather patterns seem to go, unlikely though it may seem. FWIW, her best theory was that, because of Dunedin's location (both sheltered by the mountains when the wind is directly from the west and close to the country's southernmost point), it was sometimes subject to a "blended" weather pattern: a cold, moist southerly air blowing across Southland (which would be hit by any front before Dunedin) would combine with a stronger warm nor'wester, leading to a cool dry wind that seems colder as it leads to frosts. Because of the relative strengths of these winds, it would still approach Dunedin from the west or nor'west. Whether this is the explanation for this quixotic pattern, i don't know, but it does make some sense. Grutness...wha?  09:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

population gone from 114k to 132k in 4 years? I think not
statistics NZ and the 06 census should be the main source for population statistics, not individual council websites, like on the pages of all the other cities in the country. Also, it's IMPOSSIBLE that the 3000sq km area could hold less people than the urban area at it's heart, it's totally contradictory. Simple maths. Unless we count that apparently imaginary extra 18,000 people who have moved there in the past 2 years. I've only noticed one major subdivision in Dunedin in that time near (Green Island), and I'm pretty sure it's not the fastest growing city in NZ, which it would easily be was this jump in population correct.

 * Agree - that Statistics New Zealand should be the authority for all NZ population data.
 * Disagree - that the last census figure be used. Statistics New Zealand states the census is an undercount, and the data can be up to 5 years old. The estimated resident population is a better figure to use, because it is more accurate and more up to date. This is the number Auckland uses for example.
 * Agree - urban area population <= city area population, given the urban area is a subset of the city area, and population is a natural number.
 * Comment - the increase of 4,341 or 3.8 percent, over five years, is quite modest. Compare with the national average of 7.8 percent.

Assessment
(copied from my talk page)

Hi Gadfium, I feel the "Start" assessment for Dunedin differs too much with the assessment guidelines. For "B" the guideline is "most or all Start criteria" but has issues such as "missing references". The article has all the "Start" criteria, and is clearly a "B" according to the guidelines. There are 18 books listed in the references, so it is not so much missing references as inline citations. If this is where the bar is set, most of Category:B-Class_New_Zealand_articles will need to be demoted, 1981 Springbok Tour, Frederick Weld, ACT New Zealand, History of Air New Zealand, all have similar or less references, basically empty the category. Please reconsider? XLerate (talk) 10:35, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The article is not only missing inline references (for the most part), but has numerous cleanup tags, at least one dating back to November 2007. I suggest you try turning on the "show hidden categories" in your preferences/Misc to see them. The "Modern Dunedin" and "Geography" sections have no refs at all, and there is a disputed tag on one statement. I accept that there is a detailed reference section which is not inline, but almost all those references appear to be for the history section, where they are anchored. These could be turned into inline refs quite easily.

 * The alternative to downgrading the article was to spend a lot of time cleaning it up (which of course I could have done, but I also know there are several active Wikipedians in Dunedin who could do so), remove many of the unsourced statements, or place a very obvious cleanup banner at the top of the article.

 * I'd be very happy to restore the B class rating if at least a few of the issues were dealt with - lets say fix the oldest requests for citations, move the refs for the history section inline, and source or remove the disputed statement.- gadfium 19:31, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I've edited the modern Dunedin section to fix it up a bit, though time is a bit short att he moment so I haven't done as much as I'd have liked. As to the "disputed" tag, I'm not sure how to deal with that one. Dunedin does have a reputation as a damp city, yet it is one of the driest cities in New Zealand (compare its average rainfall figures with Wellington and Auckland's, for instance). As such, it is a somewhat unwarranted reputation. What else can be said that doesn't breach neutrality? I've tried to fix it, but to me it looks pretty much the same as it did before.

 * Sometimes removing a disputed statement that you can't find a citation for is appropriate, even if you know that it's true. Sometimes, you can simply remove the dispute tag with a minor rewording, and the editor who placed the tag is satisfied, or never comes back to check. Anyway, good work, but I'd still like to see more improvements to the article before restoring B-class.- gadfium 02:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I've restored the B status since the article has been significantly improved. Please don't stop the improvements.- gadfium 05:53, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the details on what needs/needed fixing, yes there is still more do do, the Geography section is still unreferenced for example. XLerate (talk) 07:11, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I'm house-sitting at the moment, and all my sources are still at home in St. Clair. Maybe next time I'm back at my own place I'll be able to track down some references. The problem with some of it is that I wrote that section at least partly from "common knowledge" - i.e., what I can see out the window, what I know from having lived in Duendin for 20+ years, etc. - so actually finding individual references for it all may be a pain. Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  00:10, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Absolutely; I struggled to find a suitable reference for Middlemarch not known as a "suburb" in any ordinardy sense of the word - driving through farmland for an hour to get to a rural township of 300, only one or two buildings after Outram? I was going to look at referencing specific facts - years, distances, etc. NIWA may have some links with respect to the climate. XLerate (talk) 02:36, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Date of settlement
I don't know if this is the right place to put this but: there is a side column at the beginning of the article which says (among other things) "settled by the UK 1848". What is trying to be claimed here? The Otago Association's (Scottish Presbyterian) settlement was started March 23 1848. Permanent European settlement started with the Weller brothers' Otago station in November 1831. They were "UK" people - English - so that is a date the place was "settled by the UK". There were earlier European (in fact British) settlers, so what are we talking about anyway? It also says "Incorporated 1855". The Dunedin City Corporation - the first such thing in New Zealand - was incorporated in 1865, not 1855. Perhaps that was a typo but it would be good to correct it.

4 main centres error
Whats this malarkey about only 4 main Centres ? Census figures show that Dunedin has had fewer people than Hamilton for many years. Dunedin's"growth" has been stationary for decades. Without the itinerant student population Dunedin would be smaller than Tauranga and Rotorua. Hamilton's growth has been steady since the 1960s and now it is almost double the size of Dunedin.

Financial Importance
It seems to me the city gets short-changed in the article. It is noted many of the nation's biggest businesses began there. It is suggested Dunedin's significance began to fall around the beginning of the 20th century. This is at least 40 years too early and possibly 60 years too early. National headquarters began to move to Wellington around the time of the second world war. Capital did not. In the 1970s and 1980s(?) national headquarters moved on to Auckland.

Does Dunedin really have "a rich Māori heritage"?
I see that there's recently been a minor edit war (more like 'an edit skirmish') - among three different editors - about whether to say "The city has a rich Scottish, Chinese and Māori heritage" or "The city has a rich Māori, Scottish, and Chinese heritage".

This, however, begs the question: Is it really accurate to say that the city of Dunedin "has a rich Māori heritage"? Obviously, Māori settled the area for centuries before Europeans arrived, and the article notes that there was a Māori settlement ("Ōtepoti") in "what is now central Dunedin", but this was "abandoned by 1826" (prior to European settlement). And unlike some other towns/cities (e.g., Rotorua, Ruatoria), there does not seem to have been much Māori influence in the town's architecture and early culture.

Of course, we don't want to cause any disrespect to Māori, but we also need to be accurate. (I note also that the current citation that's at the end of the sentence refers only to "The Chinese community of Dunedin".) PatricKiwi (talk) 21:21, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

 * There's also a darker bit of history; a lot of Dunedin's old stone-works, including much of the harbour reclamation, were built by Māori prisoners shipped down here after Parihaka. They were helped by the local tangata whenua and their descendants remain part of the Dunedin community. (There's a small monument to them in the Northern Cemetery, put there in the 1990s I think on what, for a long time, had been an unmarked mass grave.) Putting that together with the pre-colonial history especially around the Peninsula and the Heads, I think that's enough to warrant mentioning "Māori heritage" in the lede.
 * —VeryRarelyStable 02:02, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * That's interesting. Do you have a citation for this? PatricKiwi (talk) 05:48, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Here are a couple:
 * Both are about a particular legend connected with the Māori prisoners and take the fact of those prisoners' being sent here and doing forced labour as background, which is less than completely satisfactory for what you want in a source. It's also apparent that there were more than one group of prisoners, including some who were brought here before Parihaka and contributed a large fraction of the work, which I hadn't realized.
 * —VeryRarelyStable 06:00, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * K C McDonald in his history of Dunedin municipality mentions them (and that Maori Road through the Town Belt was named after them having made it). The monument is in the Southern, not the Northern, cemetery - I have a photo of it, but it's poor quality; I could try to get a better one the next time I'm in Dunedin. Daveosaurus (talk) 08:43, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, there is also a monument in the Northern Cemetery, because I've seen it, though I didn't take a photo. Maybe some of them were buried in each. —VeryRarelyStable 09:28, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll have to go looking the next time I'm up that way.

WNYS-TV

WNYS-TV (channel 43) was a television station in Syracuse, New York, United States, which operated from 1989 to 2020. In its latter years, it was owned by Northwest Broadcasting as an affiliate of MyNetworkTV; it had common ownership with Fox affiliate WSYT (channel 68). WNYS-TV's operations were housed at WSYT's studio facilities on James Street/NY 290 in Syracuse's Near Northeast section; the station's transmitter was located near Maple Grove, a hamlet of Otisco, New York.

WNYS-TV went off the air on January 14, 2020, ahead of the surrender of its license as a condition of Apollo Global Management's 2019 acquisition of Northwest Broadcasting. At that time, the station's programming continued as subchannels of WSYT, continuing to use virtual channel 43. What was WNYS-TV's primary subchannel continues under the WSYT license as "My 43".

As an independent station
The station began broadcasting in October 1989 as an independent with the call sign WSNR-TV. Its call letters were changed in 1994 to WNYS-TV. This had been previously used on what is now ABC affiliate WSYR-TV (channel 9) from 1962 until 1978.

UPN affiliation; transition to The WB
On January 16, 1995, WNYS-TV became a charter affiliate of UPN. In that same year, Max Media Properties (then owner of WSYT) entered into an LMA with WNYS-TV and began operating the station out of that outlet's facility. It switched to The WB in January 2001 after which UPN was picked up ten months later on October 20 by low-power WAWA-LP (later WSTQ-LP). That station, however, would not be available on Time Warner Cable in Syracuse until July 2003, as cable companies are not obligated to carry low-power stations under Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. As a result, between June 2001 and July 2003, Boston superstation WSBK-TV served as the UPN affiliate for Syracuse Time Warner Cable subscribers.

MyNetworkTV affiliation
On September 5, 2006, WNYS-TV affiliated with its third network in the last twelve years becoming a MyNetworkTV affiliate. Along with other Sinclair stations in New York State, WNYS-TV and WSYT have been transmitting digital-only signals since February 17, 2009. Sinclair announced the sale of WSYT, the LMA for WNYS-TV, and WYZZ-TV in Peoria–Bloomington, Illinois, to Cunningham Broadcasting on February 28, 2013, following its acquisition of Barrington Broadcasting. The sale was necessary due to the FCC's ownership rules as Sinclair chose to keep Barrington's WSTM-TV (channel 3) in Syracuse.

However, in an updated filing with the FCC, it was revealed that WSYT would instead be sold to Bristlecone Broadcasting, a company owned by Brian Brady (owner of Northwest Broadcasting) whose only other assets in New York State were WICZ-TV and WBPN-LP in Binghamton. Those transactions were completed on November 25.

Following the consummation of the sale, Sinclair continued to operate WSYT and WNYS-TV through a transitional service agreement for six months until May 2014. Sinclair will continue to own the station's studios on James Street and its transmitter site in Otisco for at least ten years. WNYS-TV previously maintained its own website but as a result of the sale to Bristlecone, this was abandoned in favor of a shared website with WSYT. In late-January 2015, its second digital subchannel began carrying GetTV, a Sony Pictures Entertainment-owned digital off-air broadcast channel providing mostly classic films from the Sony library.

Bristlecone Broadcasting was incorporated into the Northwest Broadcasting corporate structure in a May 2015 restructuring of Brian Brady's broadcast holdings. On November 20, 2015, the WNYS-TV license was sold by RKM Media to Syracuse Broadcasting. The sale originated in 2005 as an attempt by Sinclair to buy WNYS outright for $3.1 million; the rights to acquire the station were transferred to Bristlecone as part of its purchase of WSYT, and were in turn sold to Syracuse Broadcasting for $250,000 on August 10, 2015. On October 1, 2018, Northwest acquired WNYS outright for $100,000. The sale was completed on December 6.

Surrender of license; move to WSYT's spectrum
As part of Apollo Global Management's purchase of Northwest, the company would have had to sell one of their two television stations in the market or shut one of them down, as a federal appeals court ruled that Apollo could not own both stations. After the sale was completed, it was decided to migrate the intellectual unit and programming of WNYS-TV to a digital subchannel of WSYT. WNYS-TV's license was then surrendered on January 21, 2020.

Subchannels
As mentioned above, the station shares WSYT's bandwidth and is officially recognized as a WSYT subchannel (if going by actual physical channel without PSIP intervention, channel 43's two channels are 14.5 and 14.6), but retains its own multiplexed channel map as channel 43:

Analog-to-digital conversion
WNYS-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 43, on February 17, 2009, the original target date on which full-power television stations in the United States were to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which was later pushed back to June 12, 2009). The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 44, using virtual channel 43.

KHSV

KHSV (channel 21) is a television station in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, affiliated with the digital multicast network MeTV. KHSV is owned by Howard Stirk Holdings and broadcasts from Black Mountain, near Henderson (southwest of I-11/US 93/US 95).

Channel 21 went on the air as KRLR, the second independent station for Las Vegas, on July 31, 1984. Initially reliant on music videos, it broadened its mix of programming and sports soon after launch. KRLR became an affiliate of UPN at its launch in January 1995 and changed its call sign to KUPN. However, after Sinclair Broadcast Group acquired the station in 1997, poor relations between Sinclair and UPN led the company to change affiliations to The WB in 1998, with the station switching its call sign to KVWB shortly thereafter. Sinclair then began managing and later owning the former WB affiliate, KFBT (channel 33). Between 2003 and 2006, both stations aired local newscasts powered by the company's News Central.

In 2006, when The WB and UPN merged to form The CW, Sinclair first signed a group deal for the rival MyNetworkTV service for KVWB before acquiring the rights to The CW for KFBT. To reinforce its new network identity, KVWB again changed its call sign to KVMY.

Sinclair agreed in 2014 to acquire KSNV, the NBC affiliate, from the Intermountain West Communications Company. However, since Sinclair already owned two Las Vegas stations, it opted to merge the three stations onto the two licenses it already owned. In late 2014, Sinclair switched the technical facilities and licenses of KSNV and KVMY while absorbing the MyNetworkTV programming onto a subchannel of KVCW. The former KSNV license and facility, now under the KVMY call letters, was then sold to Howard Stirk Holdings and renamed KHSV.

KRLR and KUPN
In 1980, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated four applications for comparative hearing to determine who would be the first to build and operate a television station on the ultra high frequency (UHF) band in Las Vegas. The applications came from DRES Media of Las Vegas, led by the Scott and Foremaster families; Alden Communications, a California firm which also filed for channels in Seattle and Portland, Oregon; Broadcast West Inc., based in North Las Vegas; and Channel 21 Corporation, whose principals were two New Jersey businessmen. Three of the applications had been filed in 1978, anticipating a possible boom in subscription television broadcasting.

The station began broadcasting on July 31, 1984. It originally broadcast as "Vusic 21", devoting most of its time to music videos; KRLR management boasted that theirs was the first 24-hour music video station in the country, though the format was also an aid to getting the station on the air in short order. Over the course of the next year, the independent station transformed its schedule into a broader mix of entertainment programming by acquiring movies and syndicated programs. The first notable exception to the music video format came months after signing on, when the station signed for rights to air telecasts of Las Vegas Americans indoor soccer. Sports played a key role in the station's schedule in the late 1980s; channel 21 broadcast a partial-season package of UNLV Runnin' Rebels basketball and selected UNLV football games, and it was also a heavy baseball broadcaster, featuring the San Diego Padres and Oakland Athletics on its schedule.

Dennis Todd, a subcontractor for KRLR, was working on the station's Black Mountain tower on May 4, 1988, when the nearby Pacific Engineering and Production Company facility exploded. Todd was known to tape some of his work and had a video camera with him while on the tower. After the first blast, he began recording the unfolding disaster; he was flown with his camera to NBC in Burbank, California, from which his footage was fed to NBC affiliates nationwide.

As the first Las Vegas station on the UHF band, KRLR's promotion in tuning and antennas forged a path for two stations that followed it in the decade: KBLR-TV (channel 39) and KFBT (channel 33). However, in the ratings, it was a distant second to KVVU, one of the nation's strongest independent outlets.

In 1993, DRES Media filed to sell KRLR to Las Vegas Channel 21 Inc., a company owned by Michael J. Lambert, for $4.875 million. The new ownership affiliated channel 21 with the new United Paramount Network (UPN) at its launch on January 16, 1995, and changed its call letters to KUPN on March 6 of that year. Lambert more than recouped his investment by selling KUPN to Sinclair Broadcast Group for $87 million in 1997; the transaction represented the company's entry to a market where TV revenues had doubled in just four years.

KVWB and KVMY
The purchase of KUPN came months before Sinclair's relationship with UPN frosted over. On July 21, 1997, Sinclair signed a long-term affiliation agreement with Time Warner, under which the group committed five of its UPN-affiliated stations to that network in 1998, with a sixth independent station to join in 1999. The high-profile move by Sinclair to move five stations from UPN to The WB, its direct competitor, led to a legal dispute between the companies. UPN sued Sinclair, alleging it had breached its affiliation contract by exiting it early. On January 14, 1998, Sinclair announced that KUPN would join The WB, taking the affiliation from KFBT, in a switch later postponed to March 1; KFBT did not pick up UPN, and a month later, Sinclair struck a deal to operate KFBT under a local marketing agreement. Channel 21's call letters remained KUPN until changing to KVWB on May 27, 1998.

The affiliation switch was beneficial for the station's ratings; in prime time, it saw a 150-percent increase between November 1997 and November 1998. In January 1999, Sinclair hired a news director with plans to debut an hour-long 10 p.m. newscast, the second in the market, for the fall television season; its launch was to be contingent on the station moving into new, 30000 ft2 studios to be built in Summerlin. The station instead programmed reruns of Star Trek: Voyager in the hour. In November 1999, KVWB tied KVVU in sign-on to sign-off ratings for the first time in history.

On October 13, 2003, Sinclair debuted local News Central hybrid newscasts for KVWB (at 10 p.m.) and KFBT (at 7 p.m.). As with others of its type, the newscasts combined local news coverage read by anchors in Las Vegas with national news and weather from Sinclair's corporate headquarters in Hunt Valley, Maryland. News Central wound down in March 2006; the KVWB newscast ceased on March 3 and was soon after replaced with one produced by NBC affiliate KVBC.

In 2006, The WB and UPN were shut down and replaced with The CW, which offered programming from both predecessor networks. However, Sinclair was late to sign an agreement with The CW. The news of the merger resulted in Sinclair announcing, two months later, that most of its UPN and WB affiliates, including KVWB, would join MyNetworkTV, a new service formed by the News Corporation, which was also owner of the Fox network. It was not until May 2 that an agreement was signed for KFBT and several other Sinclair-owned stations to join The CW. To reinforce their new affiliations, KVWB and KFBT became KVMY and KVCW in June 2006, relaunching as "My LV TV" and "The CW Las Vegas" when the new networks debuted in September.

On May 15, 2012, Sinclair and Fox agreed to a five-year affiliation agreement extension for the station group's 19 Fox-affiliated stations until 2017. This included an option, that was exercisable between July 1, 2012, and March 31, 2013, for Fox parent News Corporation to buy a combination of six Sinclair-owned stations (two CW/MyNetworkTV duopolies and two standalone MyNetworkTV affiliates) in three out of four markets; KVMY and KVCW were included in the Fox purchase option, along with stations in Cincinnati (WSTR-TV); Raleigh, North Carolina (WLFL/WRDC); and Norfolk, Virginia (WTVZ). In January 2013, Fox announced that it would not exercise its option to buy any of the Sinclair stations.

2014 license swap and sale to Howard Stirk Holdings
On September 3, 2014, Intermountain West Communications Company announced that it would sell KSNV-DT to Sinclair for $120 million. As Sinclair already owned a duopoly in Las Vegas, it could not add a third license, the company planned to sell the license assets (though not the programming) of one of the three stations to comply with FCC ownership restrictions, with the divested station's programming being moved to the other stations. On November 1, 2014, Sinclair began the process of realigning KSNV, KVCW, and KVMY. It moved the MyNetworkTV programming to a subchannel of KVCW and relocate KSNV's call letters, programming, and channel number to what had been KVMY. The KSNV technical facility then became KVMY, retaining virtual channel 21 but not the MyNetworkTV programming, and was sold to Howard Stirk Holdings, a company owned by conservative commentator Armstrong Williams. The $150,000 purchase price primarily consisted of the transmission facility. The call sign on channel 21 changed to KHSV on March 7, 2016.

Subchannels
The station's signal is multiplexed:

Analog-to-digital conversion
The present channel 2 digital technical facility was built by KSNV, then KVBC, and activated on October 22, 2002.

Pre-swap KVMY shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 21, on February 17, 2009, the original target date on which full-power television stations in the United States were to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate; pre-swap KVBC did not follow suit on that date. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 22; similarly, when KVBC shut down, its signal continued on channel 2 prior to the 2014 swap.

KVCW

KVCW (channel 33) is a television station in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, affiliated with The CW and MyNetworkTV. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside NBC affiliate KSNV (channel 3). The two stations share studios on Foremaster Lane in Las Vegas; KVCW's transmitter is located on Black Mountain, near Henderson (southwest of I-11/US 93/US 95).

Early years
On April 22, 1987, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued an original construction permit to 4-A Communications to build a new full-power television station, on UHF channel 33, to serve the Las Vegas market. 4-A Communications, owned by Lawrence and Teri DePaulis, became Channel 33, Inc. (which remained the station's licensee until 2015) in August 1987. The station, known as KFBT, went on the air on July 30, 1989, under a program test authority and was given a license one month later. The station's original transmitter was located in the McCullough Range southwest of Henderson. On July 20, 1990, a family ownership group headed by Daniel "Danny" Koker purchased Channel 33, Inc. Under the Kokers, KFBT was an independent station with a firmly local flavor and soon garnered much acclaim with features such as the scary B-movie showcase Saturday Fright at the Movies, hosted by Count Cool Rider, which aired at 10 p.m. Count Cool Rider was actually Danny Koker II, son of the station president and also one of the station's owners, who has since gone on to become a respected builder of custom motorcycles, as well as a regular expert on the History Channel series Pawn Stars and host of its spinoff, Counting Cars.

As a WB affiliate and return to independence
The station primarily broadcast older movies, sitcoms, and dramas during this era, as well as some Christian religious programs (as the senior Koker was a gospel musician) and professional wrestling (most notably World Class Championship Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance). KFBT became a charter affiliate of The WB at the network's launch on January 11, 1995, and remained an affiliate while owned by the Koker family. On December 18, 1997, the Koker family sold Channel 33, Inc. to Montecito Broadcasting Corporation with the sale being finalized on February 3, 1998. The same day that Montecito closed on its purchase of KFBT, it immediately entered into an agreement to be acquired by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, which Montecito entered into a local marketing agreement (LMA) to operate KFBT, until the transaction was completed. On March 1, 1998, Sinclair moved the WB affiliation to KUPN (channel 21, which later changed calls to KVWB, now KSNV) and KFBT was to affiliate with UPN but did not sign a contract and instead became an independent station leaving no local provider of the network over the air caused public outcry for Las Vegas viewers. Eventually the next year, KCNG-LP signed on and picked up the UPN affiliation, immediately asserting network exclusivity in the market and causing providers to drop KCOP and WWOR on their request. The station was rebranded as "Gold 33" and began showing mainly newer syndicated programming. Sinclair completed its purchase of Montecito and Channel 33, Inc. in February 2000, resulting in the creation of the market's first duopoly between KFBT and KVWB.

As a CW affiliate
On January 24, 2006, CBS Corporation (the parent company of UPN) and the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner announced that The WB and UPN would be shut down that September and have some of their higher-rated programs migrated onto a new jointly owned network called The CW. On February 22, News Corporation announced that it would start up another new network called MyNetworkTV. This new service, which would be a sister network to Fox, would be operated by Fox Television Stations and its syndication division, Twentieth Television. MyNetworkTV was created in order to give stations affiliated with UPN and The WB that were not mentioned as becoming CW affiliates another option besides becoming independent stations, as well as to compete against The CW.

Sinclair chose to affiliate KVWB with MyNetworkTV leaving The CW to join with either low-power UPN affiliate KTUD-CA (channel 25) or KFBT. Sinclair began negotiations with The CW to affiliate KFBT, and in April, when KTUD decided to go independent instead of pursuing a CW affiliation, KFBT was virtually assured The CW affiliation. An affiliation agreement was announced on May 2 and KFBT changed its call letters to the current KVCW on June 19, reflecting its pending affiliation with the new network. KVMY (now KHSV) affiliated with MyNetworkTV, when the network launched on September 5, two weeks before The WB was scheduled to shut down and The CW made its debut; as a result, KVCW rejoined The WB for the network's last two weeks of programming before switching its affiliation to The CW on September 18.

On May 15, 2012, Sinclair and Fox agreed to a five-year affiliation agreement extension for the station group's 19 Fox-affiliated stations until 2017. This included an option, that was exercisable between July 1, 2012, and March 31, 2013, for Fox parent News Corporation to buy a combination of six Sinclair-owned stations (two CW/MyNetworkTV duopolies and two standalone MyNetworkTV affiliates) in three out of four markets; KVCW and KVMY were included in the Fox purchase option, along with stations in Cincinnati (WSTR-TV), Raleigh (WLFL/WRDC) and Norfolk (WTVZ-TV). In January 2013, Fox announced that it would not exercise its option to buy any of the Sinclair stations in the four markets included in the option.

On August 13, 2013, KSNV-DT announced that the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives would move to KVCW as of August 19. The move of the program was necessitated after KSNV changed its schedule to accommodate a 3 p.m. newscast. On September 3, 2014, Sinclair announced the purchase of KSNV from Intermountain West Communications Company for $120 million. As Sinclair already owns KVCW and KVMY, the company will sell the license assets (though not the programming) of one of the three stations to comply with FCC ownership restrictions, with the divested station's programming being relocated to the other stations. On November 1, 2014, KVMY's programming was moved to KVCW's second digital subchannel, while KSNV's programming began to simulcast on KVMY's license. With the sale's completion, Sinclair now controls half of those stations. It also created a situation in which a CW affiliate is the nominal senior partner in a duopoly involving an NBC affiliate and a "Big Four" station.

Sports programming
On February 3, 2021, the Henderson Silver Knights announced a partnership with KVCW to broadcast 10 home games during the team's inaugural season. This partnership would continue in the 2021–22 season.

On May 21, 2021, the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces announced a partnership with MyLVTV to televise 25 games during the 2021 WNBA season. The Aces later moved to KVVU-TV.

Newscasts
In 2003, former sister station KVWB established a news department and began airing an hour-long primetime newscast at 10 p.m. It was part of Sinclair's centralized News Central operation that was based at the company's headquarters in Hunt Valley, Maryland. National and international news segments, weather forecasts and some sports segments originated from the company's Hunt Valley facility, while local news and sports segments were based at KFBT/KVWB's Las Vegas studios. The news department was shared with KFBT, which aired its own local newscast at 7 p.m. It also aired "The Point", a one-minute conservative political commentary, that was required to be broadcast on all Sinclair-owned stations with newscasts. The news department was shut down at the beginning of March 2006, as were the majority of Sinclair's news operations under the News Central format.

KVWB later entered into a news share agreement with NBC affiliate KVBC (channel 3, now KSNV) to produce a nightly 10 p.m. newscast for channel 21. The newscast, originally titled News 3 at 10 on The WB Las Vegas, debuted on April 4, 2006, and was later renamed to News 3 at 10 on MyLVTV to correspond with KVMY's affiliation switch to MyNetworkTV. The program was discontinued on December 15, 2006, and moved to KVCW the following Monday under the title News 3 at 10 on The CW Las Vegas. On August 11, 2007, KVBC became the second station in the Las Vegas market to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition and the KVCW broadcast was included in the upgrade. The 10 p.m. newscast originated from KVBC's studios on Foremaster Lane in Las Vegas near the border with North Las Vegas. KVBC also produced a 15-minute sports highlight program called Sports Zone, that aired weeknights at 10:45. Both programs were discontinued on September 28, 2009, and replaced with syndicated programming.

As of August 17, 2015, current sister station KSNV relaunched newscasts on KVCW. Wake Up with The CW Las Vegas airs from 7 to 9 a.m. and the half-hour broadcast of The CW Las Vegas News at Ten, airs at 10 p.m. Both newscasts compete with KVVU's 7 a.m. segment of Fox 5 News This Morning and the 10 p.m. airing of Fox 5 News at Ten.

Analog-to-digital conversion
When the FCC released its initial digital channel allocations on April 21, 1997, it had assigned KFBT's digital companion channel to UHF channel 32. The allocations met with considerable resistance from low-power broadcasters who would be displaced by the digital channel allocations, and on February 17, 1998, the FCC issued a revised final DTV allocation table. KFBT's original allocation would have displaced low-powered K31DO (now KNBX-CD), so the FCC substituted UHF channel 29 allowing channel 32 to be assigned to KMCC-DT in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and eliminating a displacement there. KFBT was granted a permit to construct its digital facilities on January 26, 2001. Technical difficulties delayed construction of the full-power facilities requiring extensions of the construction permit.

On November 8, 2002, KFBT was granted special temporary authority (STA) to construct a low-power facility in order to comply with the FCC deadline for commencing digital broadcasting while the full-power facilities were still being built. The station, now known as KVCW-DT, completed construction of its full-power digital facilities in January 2007 and was granted a license on March 8. Back in 2006, the FCC required each station with a digital companion channel to select which one it would continue to use after the end of the transition period (at that time scheduled for February 17, 2009). KVCW-DT selected channel 29 as its final digital channel and returned the channel 33 license to the FCC. Digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 33. Regular analog programming was dropped on February 18, 2009, with the station participating in the "Analog Nightlight" program for two weeks, with a broadcast explaining how to switch to digital reception.

ATSC 3.0 lighthouse
{{legend|#ffe8d0|Subchannel broadcast with digital rights management}}

On May 26, 2020, KVCW discontinued ATSC 1.0 broadcasts and became one of the first stations in the country (and the first in the Western United States) to begin broadcasting in ATSC 3.0. Its primary channel is simulcast on KTNV-DT5, MyNetworkTV on sister station KSNV-DT5, and KVCW-DT3, KVCW-DT4 and KVCW-DT5 on the fifth, sixth and seventh digital subchannels of KLAS-TV.

WMYA-TV

WMYA-TV (channel 40) is a television station licensed to Anderson, South Carolina, United States, broadcasting the digital multicast network Dabl to Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina. It is owned by Cunningham Broadcasting and operated under a local marketing agreement (LMA) by Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner of Asheville, North Carolina–based ABC/MyNetworkTV affiliate WLOS (channel 13). However, Sinclair effectively owns WMYA-TV, as the majority of Cunningham's stock is owned by the family of deceased group founder Julian Smith. The nominal main studio for WMYA-TV is the WLOS news bureau on Villa Road in Greenville, South Carolina; WMYA-TV's transmitter is located in Fountain Inn, South Carolina.

Founded as WAIM-TV in 1953, the station primarily broadcast local network programming to the Anderson area, serving as an affiliate of ABC and CBS after 1956. However, it lost ABC affiliation at the start of 1979 and failed as an independent station after six months, leading to more than five years of silence. It reemerged as WAXA and had more success serving the market, including two years as the region's first Fox affiliate. However, after the death of its owner in 1987 and more than a year off the air, the station was sold to WLOS for use as a rebroadcaster to reach areas of the Upstate that its Asheville-centric signal could not. In 1995, WLOS converted WAXA to separate programming as independent WFBC-TV. It then became an affiliate of The WB and later MyNetworkTV. Its programming was moved to a subchannel of WLOS in 2021, leaving WMYA to rebroadcast national digital subchannels. In 2022, the station became the ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) transmitter for upstate South Carolina; its subchannels are now transmitted by other local stations on its behalf.

WAIM-TV
On February 29, 1952, Wilton E. Hall, publisher of the Anderson Independent and Daily Mail (since merged as the Anderson Independent-Mail) and owner of radio stations WAIM (1230 AM) and WCAC-FM (101.1 FM, now WROQ), applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for approval to build a new television station in Anderson on channel 58. Another application was filed for channel 58 by the Anderson Television Company, and in August 1953, at Hall's request, the FCC added channel 40 to Anderson. The FCC then granted the construction permit for WAIM-TV on September 30, 1953. The station was quickly built and began broadcasting on December 11, 1953.

Originally an affiliate of CBS, the station's financial viability was nearly immediately jeopardized. Spartanburg radio station WORD held a construction permit for very high frequency (VHF) channel 7 and sought to use it on an interim basis from Paris Mountain, 27 mi west of Spartanburg and closer to Anderson than the originally proposed site of Hogback Mountain. The threat of a new VHF station which, unlike the UHF station Hall operated, could reach all homes without sets having to be converted immediately dimmed WAIM-TV's prospects. In February 1954, Hall petitioned the FCC to set aside its earlier grant of temporary authority for WORD-TV, later changed to WSPA-TV, to broadcast from Paris Mountain, having already lost nearly $60,000 in canceled advertising contracts and lost CBS revenue; he feared losing his CBS affiliation altogether. WAIM-TV was one of three stations protesting this relocation of channel 7, along with WGVL (channel 23) in Greenville and the never-built WSCV (channel 17) in Spartanburg; all three protests were denied.

WGVL and WAIM-TV took the case to the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, seeking injunctive relief from the FCC ruling, in the summer of 1954. On January 31, 1955, the appeals court heard arguments by WGVL and WAIM against the WSPA-TV authorization on Paris Mountain, having obtained six months prior a restraining order preventing Spartan from building its transmitter facility until the case was heard (though the studios were near completion and initial preparations had been made on Paris Mountain). While WGVL and WAIM-TV claimed that the FCC should not have granted the application without giving them a hearing, the commission argued that they did not have standing to show injury that would be caused by WSPA-TV going on air and that the procedure the stations sought to use was the improper forum to delay such a grant. Even though the two UHF stations won a hearing at the FCC, the hearing examiner's recommendation would not be favorable to them. Examiner James D. Cunningham recommended the FCC approve the WSPA-TV move to Paris Mountain, saying that the UHF stations "failed to make a satisfactory showing" as to the economic damages they would incur and that, because UHF converters were widely distributed in their broadcast areas, they would not be at a disadvantage. WGVL and WAIM-TV counsel asked for oral argument on the decision, warning that it would be "aggravating the forces now making for unequal competition in the television field and hastening the trend towards complete obliteration of UHF".

The FCC made a final decision in favor of Spartan on March 9, 1956, reaffirming many of the arguments made by the hearing examiner. When the appeals court gave its approval for WSPA-TV, WGVL and WAIM-TV announced their intentions to leave the air. On Sunday, April 29, 1956, WSPA-TV signed on; channel 23 left the air that day, Concurrently, the station also unsuccessfully sought relief in the form of moving channel 7 out of the Upstate and to Knoxville, Tennessee, while Hall engaged with equipment manufacturer Federal Telecommunications Laboratories in a legal dispute; he stopped paying what he owed on a transmitter he claimed was defective, "worthless and useless" because it could not broadcast network color programming in color.

WAIM-TV temporarily suspended operation on May 27, only to return two days later after securing additional programming. In July, it became an affiliate of ABC. In addition to a secondary affiliation with CBS, the station also broadcast South Carolina Educational Television daytime programs for schools for a time in the 1960s. While WAIM-TV's ABC affiliation agreement allowed it to carry any network program not aired by WLOS in Asheville, which was not receivable in the Anderson area, WLOS permitted the station to rebroadcast all ABC programs it aired. The station aired a limited schedule and sold very little local advertising.

In 1977, Hall announced the sale of his broadcasting properties to Frank L. Outlaw II of Greenville; the $850,000 transaction marked his retirement. Outlaw promised to begin live TV broadcasts from the Anderson studio. The sale was approved by the FCC the next year—with Outlaw selling a half-stake to Frank Nations and doing business under the name "The ONE Corporation" (Outlaw-Nations Entertainment) —but it also started the clock ticking on the need to reinvent channel 40. The owners had feared that they could have had to shutter the station on July 1, but ABC gave the station an extra six months to continue broadcasting its programming through the end of 1978, and in the last two months of the year, the station began to transition its schedule to that of an independent. On January 1, 1979, WAIM-TV became a full-time independent station.

Rather quickly, Nations and Outlaw found that Anderson merchants were not ready to do much television advertising. The station needed to get on cable across the Upstate to be viable as an independent. While some systems added WAIM-TV, cable penetration was too low in those days to meaningfully increase the station's potential audience. In January 1979, daily program hours were cut back from 16 to 8; Nations and Outlaw soon put the station on the market. In mid-May 1979, the transmitter broke down, plunging channel 40 into a silence that would last five years.

Nations and Outlaw sold a minority stake in the station to Ivey Communications of Orlando, Florida. Plans were formulated to return the station to service by the summer of 1980 with an upgraded physical plant. By December 1980, mid-1981 was cited as a date for the station's return.

WAXA
New South Television sold WAIM-TV in 1983 to Mark III Broadcasting of South Carolina, a subsidiary of Atlanta-based Agronomics, Inc. Agronomics changed the call letters to WAXA, obtained approval for a new tower site for the station, and broke ground in November 1983 on studios on the U.S. 29 bypass. The new transmitter facility would permit the station to cover the entire Upstate, though not Asheville; WAXA applied for a translator to cover that area.

After five and a half years, channel 40 returned to South Carolina screens on October 1, 1984, with a lineup mostly consisting of movies and syndicated reruns. Several local programs were added, including three music video shows and public affairs program Straight Talk. Stereo sound broadcasting began in March, making WAXA the first station in South Carolina to provide it.

WAXA was the area's first Fox affiliate when the network started on October 9, 1986; it also debuted on Asheville cable the next month, a major development for a station that had long struggled to reach viewers in western North Carolina.

However, momentum soon was halted by the death of Agronomics owner Anthony Kupris in October 1987; his widow Mary was largely an absentee owner who at one point told the Greenville News, "I'm not a broadcaster". In May 1988, Mary reached a deal to sell WAXA to Jones Commercial, Inc., of Chicago. Another major setback occurred while the deal was pending when Pappas Telecasting Companies, owner of competing independent WHNS (channel 21), secured a group affiliation deal with Fox; one of the reasons cited for the change was that channel 40 had been unhappy with the poor performance of Fox's Saturday night lineup. No contract was ever finalized with Jones, and while WAXA claimed that getting out of its Fox affiliation was reducing programming costs, it did lay off some staff in late 1988 for what it termed "budgetary reasons".

Simulcast of WLOS
In March 1989, it was reported that AnchorMedia, the owner of WLOS, was interested in acquiring WAXA. The next month, a sale contract was announced, as were plans for AnchorMedia to run the station as a satellite of WLOS for the benefit of viewers who received a marginal signal from that station.

The AnchorMedia deal required FCC approval, which was its own wrinkle because it would have created overlap with WLOS. At the time, one company could not own two television stations in the same media market. Awaiting this approval, and with many program contracts expiring, WAXA went off the air on September 1, 1989. Six months later, the FCC ruled; it found that the purchase of WAXA was not in the public interest and denied the transaction. However, the two parties continued to negotiate a simulcast agreement by which the station would not be sold outright but still simulcast WLOS.

In January 1991, WAXA returned to the air as a near-total simulcast of WLOS. AnchorMedia and Mary Kupris appealed the FCC's denial of the outright sale of the station and won a victory at the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which ordered the FCC to reconsider its denial; one concurring statement by Laurence Silberman noted that the court even considered ordering the transfer granted and expressed the opinion that "there is no alternative use for the frequency". That August, a public affairs program for the Anderson area, Viewpoint 40, was introduced as an opt-out for WAXA viewers only. In 1992, WLOS reached a deal with the Independent-Mail to share news material and announced it would start producing a South Carolina newscast at 6 p.m. for air on channel 40.

WB and MyNetworkTV affiliation
AnchorMedia, under the name Continental Broadcasting, sold its three television stations to River City Broadcasting of St. Louis in 1994. River City embarked on a strategy to operate channel 40 with separate programming from WLOS. On September 2, 1995, the station became independent station WFBC-TV (call letters previously used by WYFF from 1953 to 1983), using a mix of newly acquired programs and shows to which WLOS already held the rights.

River City sold its assets to Sinclair Broadcast Group in 1996. Because River City had split WFBC-TV from WLOS, Sinclair itself could not purchase both stations. The license for WFBC-TV was assigned to Glencairn, Ltd., a new group headed by former Sinclair executive Edwin Edwards. The family of Sinclair Broadcast Group founder Julian Sinclair Smith owned 97 percent of Glencairn's stock, effectively making WLOS and WFBC-TV a duopoly in violation of FCC rules. Sinclair further circumvented the rules by having WLOS take over WFBC-TV's operations as the senior partner in a local marketing agreement. Pulitzer Broadcasting, owner of WYFF, petitioned against the River City sale of WFBC-TV to Glencairn, contending that the combination of the Glencairn sale and LMA with WLOS would give Sinclair an "unfair competitive wedge" in the market.

Rainbow/PUSH, headed by Jesse Jackson, filed challenges against Glencairn's planned merger with Sinclair in 1998, citing concerns over a single company holding two broadcast licenses in one market and arguing that Glencairn—headed by former Sinclair executive Edwin Edwards, a Black man—passed itself off as a minority-owned company. The FCC levied a $40,000 fine against Sinclair in 2001 for illegally controlling Glencairn; it also prevented Sinclair from buying WBSC-TV outright because it would have left the Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville market with only seven unique TV station owners in the market as a result. FCC rules of the time required a market to have at least eight unique owners once a duopoly is formed. Glencairn subsequently changed its name to Cunningham Broadcasting Corporation, but its stock is still almost entirely owned by the Smith family, and the companies continued to be closely related.

As part of a 1997 affiliation agreement between Sinclair and The WB, WFBC-TV became a WB affiliate on September 6, 1999, and changed its call letters to WBSC-TV to reflect its programming and location in South Carolina.

In 2006, when The WB and UPN merged to form The CW, Sinclair first elected to affiliate with MyNetworkTV, a new network started by Fox Television Stations, over The CW. On March 2, ten days after the network's existence was announced on February 22, Sinclair affiliated 17 stations it owned or managed, including WBSC-TV, with the network. The call letters were changed to WMYA-TV in recognition of the new network affiliation. Local programming also continued to air. In 2008, the station began airing a fall package of local high school football games—North Carolina games on Thursdays and South Carolina games on Fridays—which by 2015 drew viewership comparable to or greater than MyNetworkTV programming.

On September 20, 2021, "My 40" and the MyNetworkTV programming moved exclusively to the 13.2 subchannel of WLOS. This left the WMYA-TV multiplex airing four diginets, with the main subchannel airing Dabl, in time for ATSC 3.0 conversion in 2022.

Subchannels
The station's ATSC 1.0 channels are carried on the multiplexed signals of other television stations in the market:

Analog-to-digital conversion
WMYA discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 40, on February 17, 2009, one day after the original date for full-power television stations in the United States to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which Congress had moved the previous week to June 12). The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 14, using virtual channel 40. The analog signal remained on for a time after as part of the SAFER Act to provide transition information.

ATSC 3.0 lighthouse

On June 2, 2022, WMYA-TV was converted to ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV), with simulcasts from WYFF, WSPA-TV, WLOS and WHNS.
