Discrepencies
There are some odd discreps in this article, I'd like them corrected, but as a long-time employee of WGBH am I disallowed from editing the article on grounds of conflict of interests? e.g. - Two differing dates are given for the fire at the Mass Ave studios... Either the story is more complex than I know, or someone's mistaken. Emyth 21:29, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

 * Anyone can edit, the relation you may have to the subject doesn't matter. Everyone is encouraged and welcomed to help out. :-) - Evil saltine 10:45, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Channel 2-Mobile
This historic concept needs its own webpage and needs to be revived.

text stolen from another website describing 2-mobile; more information needed, : The 2-Toy’s thematic parent was a ten-foot-high, plywood “2-MOBILE” bolted to an old Volkswagen chassis. The 2-Mobile ran fitfully, was unstable in the slightest cross-wind, and was a challenge to drive, but we did so anyway, and with great enthusiasm. The idea was to drive it through suburban communities “from the Cape to Route 128 and back to our studios by August 31st” while a large, lighted in-studio map charted progress during “the countdown to the end of our fiscal year.” In each community, volunteers organized grip-and-grin photos with local poohbahs while supporters of our children’s programs lined up, we hoped, with contributions envelopes while remote crews taped the fun. While all this was going on, we offered 2-Toys on-air. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.76.107.91 (talk) 19:14, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Sign-on/sign-off section
Lots of information, yet the format is messy (reads more like a memo than an article). Tried to clean it up, but I am not an expert concerning the information in that section. Also, I am not sure if such material should be included. Any thoughts? Pentawing 18:52, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't believe it has any encyclopedic value. 121a0012 03:22, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * If it stays, it should be at or near the end of the article, since it's misc. information when compared to the rest. - Evil saltine 10:40, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

I did some more cleanup and moved the section towards the end, yet I am still keeping the "cleanup" notation on the article. I am going to wait for two weeks, and if no one argues for keeping this section, I'm getting rid of it. Pentawing 03:47, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Since nobody has argued for keeping the section, I have commented it out. If someone does wish to include this material, simply uncomment the passage (though after reading through it, I don't believe it has any value). Pentawing 04:29, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Splitting article
IMHO, this article needs to be split into separate WGBH (FM) and WGBH-TV/WGBX-TV articles. While the history may be shared, very little about the programming is. Right now the article title is correct for the FM, but the contents are mostly about TV. 121a0012 02:39, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

 * If there is a lot more information on WGBH-FM, I would disagree about splitting the article. Instead, one could rewrite the introduction to better reflect the fact that the article is on both the TV and radio stations. Also, one could write separate sections devoted to each station (see the article KQED for an example). Pentawing 03:33, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree, without a doubt --wpktsfs 22:27, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

WGBH's music theme
The seven-second theme for WGBH is still the same, why do you still keep the old WGBH music theme for synthesizer and who composed the theme for the ID?
 * We aren't them, how do we know? --Wcquidditch | Talk 18:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Probably (W)GBH loves how they made their logo music. Chiagozie Elobuike (talk) 15:07, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

"The sign-off was similar to the sign-off, but in reverse."
What the hell is that supposed to mean? --User:Evice User talk:Evice Special:Contributions/Evice 11:59, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a typo. --Wcquidditch | Talk 19:00, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

 * No, it was referring to the direction in which the outline-2 logo moved at the very end of the clip. The copy expaining this in nauseating detail was stuffed into a comment, but I've exhumed it here.  Cause I'm a fan, too. --Baylink (talk) 01:18, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

The Early Years - 1968 to 1975
Originally (from 1968 to 1972) WGBH-TV (not WGBX-TV) would sign-on after thirty minutes of test-pattern and tone and then run a pre-recorded mission statement/sign-on (in glorious color) with William Pierce as the voice. Originally, WGBH had a loose confederation of colleges and universities making up "The Lowell Institute Co-Operative Broadcasting Council." Pierce would give a brief history of the station and would eventually read the names of the Lowell Institute members with a harpsichord selection as the musical background and a colorful kaleidoscope of lights with the Lowell Institute logo inside of the lights. Both WGBH and WGBX switched to color in 1967 and ran this until 1972.

WGBX-TV would simply turn on the transmitter with a test tone with a moving clock. Eventually they would use colorful slides for minutes at a time. Channel 44 was the poor step-child of WGBH for many years. Only now over the past fifteen years have they done something to differentiate channel 44 from channel 2. Today it is known as "'GBH Select/44." Originally, Channel 44 was a commercial allocation (WJDW-TV). Channel 68 (well before WQTV) was the original non-commercial allocation.

They changed the sign-on/off in the summer of 1972 with David O. Ives (the boss at the time) reading the updated mission statement including the mention of WGBH-TV, WGBX-TV, WGBY-TV (Springfield), and WGBH-FM. This would be run until the late 1980s. The idea was to be able to use this recording on both WGBH-TV and WGBX-TV.

Here is how William Pierce signed-on WGBH-TV and WGBX-TV from 1969 to September 1971:

''Good Morning! This is WGBH-TV Channel 2 or WGBX-TV, Channel 44 Boston, WGBH or WGBX is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to the WGBH Educational Foundation.

The Glory Years—1975 to 1988 sign-on/sign-off
The WGBH and WGBX sign-on and sign-off received a major makeover in the fall of 1975. The sign-on started with a scrolling sunrise of the downtown Boston skyline with a script read by William Pierce until 1984 and then by Tom Dunn. Then there appeared a pixelation sequence with a music piece called "Variations of America" by Charles Ives with photos resolving together of PBS programs, and after that a credit roll showing WGBH/WGBX's institutional supporters. After that two-minute or so sequence, a spotlight would appear and then the three-dimensional "2" or "44" logo would come up to the screen. Rumors had it that the logo made a swishing noise and that it scared some children.

The sign-off was similar to the sign-off, but in reverse. After the last program, the pixelation sequence would start, then a different script with a sunrise "now a sunset," then the "2" or "44" logo would become large, then zoom out to the screen, then spotlight and snow.

This is how William Pierce signed-on WGBH-TV and WGBX-TV from the fall of 1975 to August 1984:

''Good Morning! This is WGBH-TV Channel 2 or WGBX-TV, Channel 44 Boston, WGBH or WGBX is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to the WGBH Educational Foundation.

The William Pierce version of the sign-on/off script technically did end in 1984, but on rare occasions they would show that version even as late as 1988. Sometimes during the Tom Dunn era one could hear the William Pierce scripting while the Dunn speak was "recorded over" the Pierce.

The Modern Years—1988 to present sign-on/sign-off
In the fall of 1988, the WGBH and WGBX sign-on and sign-off was completely different. Many people didn't like the modern sign-off. The sign-on started with the zoom-in "2" and "44" logo first, next the script read by Tom Dunn, and then a new pixelation sequence, with PBS program photos by a gallery-like setting, with the credit Institution sequence set on moving clouds. The voiceover who did the mission statement was read by Christopher Lydon, chief reporter of the 10 o'clock news at the time. The sign-off sequence was the same as the 1975 to 1988 versions. -->

Problems
The intro really needs some attention. It says

 * WGBH is an established public television station for Boston, Massachusetts, which is a member of public radio networks (PBS, and NPR and PRI).

Does anyone else see a problem here? That an "established ... television" station is a member of "radio networks"? And that PBS is not a radio network and that PRI is not an organization with "member" stations? And that there is no mention of the production and distribution that WGBH does on its own of both television and radio programming? I started to reword this, but dropped it as it will take longer than I have to deal with it right now. (OK, so the next sentence does mention the TV productions, but still, the first sentence just seems inadequate in so many ways.) older≠wiser 01:24, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Removed Trivia section
Trivia section was removed. The only item it contained sounded like a plug. The presumed plug was added by a user who had previously vandalized the page.

Taken Down by WGBH Management
A user on Music Lane (can be found on Google) complained about Wikipedia saying the article on WGBH-TV carries the Charlie the Red Dog early in the morning at 7 A.M, saying some PBS viewers were not supporting either WGBH or PBS and let's take out the word, "disco". —the preceding unsigned comment is by 65.54.97.193 (talk • contribs) 18:46, December 26 2005 (UTC)

An article about WGBY?
I know WGBY gets a little mention in this article, but I feel as though it should get its own article. What do you think? JB82 { !@? } 03:46, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd be inclined to agree. 'GBY has its own web presence and seems to be run basically separately from the Boston station -- it's hard to even find a WGBH reference on their website. (I'd almost be inclined to break out WCAI/WNAN/WZAI into their own article too, but I'm not too sure about that.) Haikupoet 05:26, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Address of original studio
I edited the article to state that the original studios were at 84 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge. The city was not given originally in this context, and the article states that the station is in Boston; there exists an 84 Mass. Ave. in Boston which is not the former location of the studios.

Local programming?
This article is about WGBH-TV/FM in Boston too. This article has more national content and programming and its missing its great local programming which is totally missing. Programs such as Greater Boston, La Plaza, Basic Black and its Eye on Education. None of the mentioned programs are not even on the article. I might have a slant to this, but I highly respect the local programming from WGBH that can't be viewed outside the fifth largest televison market in the country and these programs cannot be found nationally on PBS.... Steven312 01:17, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Censorship
One or more people using IP addresses from WGBH and WGBH Educational Foundation have repeatedly been censoring sourced information, for an unknown reason, from the Suze Rotolo article. I just thought this should be known. Flipsod2 20:49, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

 * This, of course, isn't the place to make that known (unless you're trying to vent a grudge or some such). Take it up with Wikipedia's administrators.

 * Atlant 22:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for casting aspersions by suggesting I have a grudge. It is of note that someone closely associated with WGBH is actively censoring information. Flipsod2 23:51, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Your response to me seems to continue to suggest that you do. As I said (and said in good faith), if you have an issue, take it up with the Wiki admins; they can act on it.

Times are changing at WGBH. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.15.168.89 (talk • contribs) 16:24, February 2, 2006
 * Uh... I'm just wondering, what does that have to do with censorship by WGBH people? For that matter, does that have anything to do with the WGBH article at all?  That just seems... random, I'll say.  -- WC  Quidditch   ☎   ✎  00:22, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * BTW, that is a WGBH IP. That's a link... but everything else doesn't pan out.  -- WC  Quidditch   ☎   ✎  00:24, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

"Viacom digital television facility"
Could someone update that? I have no reason to believe Viacom owns the tower that WGBH-TV/WGBX-TV operates from anymore, since after the recent split all of its broadcast operations (like this facility) are part of CBS Corporation, as this facility has traditionally been owned by WBZ-TV. So, could someone update the Viacom references accordingly? -- WC  Quidditch  ☎   ✎  17:06, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * That is my understanding as well, but if so, they have yet to file an ownership change for the antenna structure registration with the FCC.
 * OK... after no luck at the FCC, I figured out what happened by looking at the SEC documents. Viacom did not spin off CBS; Viacom spun off "New Viacom" and then changed its name to CBS.  Theoretically, they are supposed to file "pro forma" transfers for all of the "Viacom, Inc." assets (including the 350 Cedar Street tower and WBZ-TV itself) but haven't (yet) done so.  So yes, that should be updated.  121a0012 20:55, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

A glaring omission ?
Most articles that are initialisms state what the initials stand for. Perhaps I am mistaken in that WGBH isn't an initialism, or perhaps the answer is already mentioned and I have missed it; however one of the first things and initialism article should state, surely, is what the initials stand for - no ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.103.205.80 (talk • contribs).

 * Well, okay. It's in the info box and was mentioned under callsign history, but I took a look at what was written there and it's not as clear as it could be. The answer is Great Blue Hill (from the original location of the transmitter in Milton). Hope that fixes the problem. Haikupoet 06:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

 * This is, in even my opinion, an exceedingly nit picky point. :-)  WGBH doesn't actually *abbreviate* anything, and therefore, isn't an initialism in the strictest sense of the words, in much the same way that most things people call acronyms aren't, because they aren't *words* (yet).  (And thanks for getting it right.)  It is often the case that ownerships pick callsigns because the "inspire" thoughts of specific local or station features or branding, but I'm not sure I think that's strong enough to qualify callsigns as initialisms.  That said, I do agree the explanation should be in there, as it is, as long as it's characterized properly. --Baylink (talk) 01:23, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Splitting the article
2 oppose, 3 agree.

Oppose. First off, I'm of the opinion that unless the radio and TV operations of a specific callsign have a distinctly different identity, or unless the article has reached a truly unwieldy length (which I can't say I think this article has), there really isn't much point in separating them, especially in situations such as this where the radio and TV operations are tightly intertwined. Now WGBY and Cape and Islands NPR are somewhat different cases, if only because they're in different media markets from the Boston stations, even though they are part of the WGBH umbrella organization. That said, however, WGBH-FM and WGBH-TV do cross-promote each other, and the member's magazine 'GBH gives programming information for both the radio and television sides. I just don't see a split as being productive, and in fact might create some unnecessary redundancy. Haikupoet 18:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I also oppose... But if a split is made, it should be done in a manner that correctly reflects the actual structure of the institution, no? WGBH Educational Foundation is the parent entity. WGBH Radio Boston is the FM entity that spawned the CAI/NAN stations. WGBH TV2 is the television entity. WGBY is related... And so on...  There are also the Online departments which are the institutions "third platform". Emyth 16:47, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose for the stated reasons. Atlant 16:56, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I disagree completely. The argument can also be that KYW-TV and KYW 1060 cross promote, WCBS-TV  WCBS 880 cross promote, but the reason those are separated, because they are different. WGBH-TV does not simulcast their programming on the radio, therefore the FM should not be on the main page. WPVI can get away because they simulcast their programming 24/7 on their FM station, therefore that can be in the same article.

 * The article, may I be direct, looks really messy. If the people really want the FM side of GBH in the article, why the hell is there not an infobox on the radio station? GBY should not be in this article because its not in the same market. Springfield/Hartford/Albany can't get GBH and Boston/Manchester can't get GBY, therefore should not be in the article. 'CAI/NAN should not be in the article because the logic that the stations doesn't simulcast GBH-TV, therefore have its separate article.

 * The cross reference is bullshit, and should be taken into consideration. If the logic is that if the radio stations aired Greater Boston or NOVA, then it should be in the main article (like WPVI reference earlier). They don't air the same programming, its similar, but not exact, therefore it should be separated.

 * If people believe the "its the same thing" shit, I'll be extremely happy to create a WGBH (FM) article. The people are idiots editing this article for the last 2 years, I hate coming to this article, when I click on it. Steven312 13:06, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Agree because WGBH-TV, WGBX, and WGBH-FM are three different entities. Also, Steven312 screwed up, saying WPVI had a sister FM station. It is the channel 6 sound carrier (in a nutshell). 75.120.52.154 23:58, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Agree because I think the article is becoming quite long. And because they are 3 different, independent programming entities (WGBH-FM is on a totally different medium, so that should be split off, at least). 207.119.203.11 18:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Agree that WGBH-FM & WCAI at least should be split off of this article. This article is getting quite long. 72.161.135.38 (talk) 22:52, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

WGBH outline
The pictures of the WGBH TV jingle are excellent. It's much better to have a visual picture of what's being talked about than having to imagine it. However, I found a still of the outline being formed on YouTube.com. I don't have the slightest idea how to incorporate it in with the other pictures and I would probably wind up screwing it up or getting in trouble if I tried to do it on my own. If anybody can pull it off (legally), I believe it would be an excellent representation of what the outline looks like at the beginning. I know finding pictures of the old WGBH logo/jingle is hard. Just a suggestion. Thanks!

Regarding the CANCOM satellite linkup.
Okay, this is User:DanCBJMS, however, I haven't logged in yet. Referring to the CANCOM satellite linkup comment - I would assume that since CANCOM is owned by the Shaw Cable company, would that mean that the CANCOM service would be applicable only to subscribers of StarChoice? This question is because there is a "PBS East" mentioned on the Bell ExpressVu website, but when I go onto Lyngsat.com WGBH-2 (NOT WGBH-44, I wonder why) is mentioned as being on one of Bell Canada's Nimiq satellites (I think it's Nimiq-2, I could be wrong). This could theoretically make me infer that WGBH IS the PBS East of ExpressVu.

Also, in support of the opposition mentioned above - I oppose splitting it off entirely yet. The reasoning is because WGBH TV and Radio are SO interlinked by the Foundation that it would be hard to do so. Now, if WGBH decided to take over all New England NPR and PBS stations and called itself the "Broadcasting Corporation of New England" or something to that regard, then yes I'd support splitting it off, but for the time being, no. Even WCAI/WZAI/WNAN is mention in WGBH's radio schedules, and occasionally spots for Cape and Islands NPR can be heard on WGBH 89.7/WNCK 89.5, especially in the summertime. The only thing I can see on the WGBY website that would "separate" it from WGBH is that the WGBY website lacks a "history", which is odd, I think. -134.117.168.232 20:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Last Chance Garage:A glaring ommission
OF all the WGBH-produced programs listed, why wasn't "Last Chance Garage" included?...this was back in the days BEFORE Tom and Ray Magliozzi(aka "Click and Clack") were household names on NPR.

"Last Chance Garage" was hosted by a Boston-area mechanic named Brad Sears, and there was the official "companion" book that went with it during the second season(now WAAAY long out-of-print). The show was on PBS(through WGBH) for at least five years(from 1981-86).

Please add this excellent show to the official program list.

Thanks,Baldwin91006 02:06, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree w/ Baldwin about this:NOT including "Last Chance Garage" on the list of shows is a disservice to us "backyard mechanics" everywhere...Michaela92399 02:02, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Now I tried to create a page for this series, and about a minute later, IT WAS DELETED!!!...now I'm gonna try again...Michaela92399 16:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

It seems that a user was watching this WGBH page last night for ANYTHING that wasn't pro-WGBH, and he/she picked MY page to delete!...now I will definitely try again...Michaela92399 16:31, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Michaela...who was it?...was it someone who has a greedy, "rush-to-judgement" factor for deleting your page?...Baldwin91006 16:49, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree this is worthy of including. Last Chance Garage was perhaps the first automotive how-to show, several years before Shadetree Mechanic.

Digital Channel Numbers
Why are the digital channel numbers for wgbh and wgbx listed as 19 and 43 respectively? As far as I know they're still 2 and 44. WGBH's website makes no reference to different numbers for digital signals. I also have not been able to find any reference to them elsewhere online.--129.64.174.30 (talk) 02:09, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Go to the FCC's Common Database System search page and plug in "WGBH-TV" under callsign. The digital channel is listed at the bottom of the station information box.  The FCC requires that stations PSIP with their analog channel number (even for those stations which will be remaining on different channels after 2009, as with nearly all Boston stations).  121a0012 (talk) 06:44, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

 * So if station are forced to PSIP their original analog channel number what's the point of bothering metnion the digital channel number?--129.64.228.125 (talk) 15:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

 * It is relevant to those who want to buy the right antenna or filter in order to receive (or not receive) the digital signal, and for those who are interested in broadcasting technology. 121a0012 (talk) 01:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Apologies for being slightly off-topic, but all the aforementioned about PSIP etc., does this mean that even though GBH will be on digital channel 19 or whatever, I still tune my television to channel 2 on February 17, 2009? (Yeah, I'm slightly retarded on these kinds of issues...) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raj Fra (talk • contribs) 02:47, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, unless you have one of the first-generation digital tuners that did not implement PSIP in this way. In some cases, it may be necessary to tune the receiver to channel 19 first in order for it to know that channel 2 broadcasts there (but most non-cable consumers will have used the "auto-set" function of their receiver to locate all local digital channels).  121a0012 (talk) 05:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Request for move
The other WGBH stations have their own articles now. The current article should be moved to WGBH-TV, and afterward, the space titled WGBH (without any suffix) should become a disambiguation page. New World Man (talk) 00:55, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * As WGBH is an unlicensed station, unless the station refers to itself as "WGBH-TV", it should be located at WGBH (TV). JPG-GR (talk) 03:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * WGBH-TV is a licensed station. Look at the FCC record at http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/tvq?call=WGBH and you'll see that it does have a -TV suffix. New World Man (talk) 03:27, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, crap, must've typoed. Sorry. JPG-GR (talk) 05:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

 * The organization is one, though, so while it might be appropriate to have separate articles for WGBH-TV and WGBH radio, the main article including history, callsign, station, most of this article, belongs at WGBH. —Centrx→talk • 04:16, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

VHF Analog chan 2 vs. UHF Digital chan 19
WGBH used to broadcast on VHF Analog channel 2, 54-60 MHz. But now it is broadcasting on UHF Digital channel 19, 500-506 MHz. This is a big, important, hidden detail. It means that viewers need an entirely different antenna to properly receive the new signal. How can we find out for sure if they will be keeping this UHF Digital chan 19 after the VHF Analog channel 2 signal is turned off mid-2009? This is a very important matter for those who want to continue to receive the signal. Please add this information to the article, with a source. (NB: the new channel numbers, such as 2.1 and 2.2, have no real meaning, no connection to actual frequencies, they are just virtual names.) -96.237.78.179 (talk) 00:01, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You can check the FCC's database to see if they have petitioned for a rule-making that would substitute another channel for channel 19. At present, they have elected channel 19.  The only other possibility is channel 42 (after WHDH-TV completes its transition), and 19 is a much better place to be.  There is no chance whatever that they will go back to VHF-low, and there are no VHF-high channels available in the market (with the pointless exception of channel 8, which would fit if the transmitter were on Nantucket).  (Channel 42, if and when somebody applies for it, would have to be within 15 km of both 350 Cedar St. (channel 43) and the UHF Candelabra (channel 41).)  I am given to understand that WGBH management would be perfectly happy to drop the broadcast signal entirely, were that not necessary to get on the broadcast-basic cable tier.  121a0012 (talk) 06:01, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Most of the Boston metro area UHF OTA channels appear to not be in use. For example, 33-37. Why would these not be available? Are they being used for something else? -96.233.20.92 (talk) 13:59, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, channels 14-16 are land-mobile allotments. Channels 18-20 are in use for DTV.  21 and 23 are precluded by the "donut" first-adjacent spacing rule against WGBY in Springfield and WLWC in New Bedford.  There's still an analog class-A on 24.  I believe 25 should be available, so long as it's far enough away from Mount Ascutney, Vermont.  26 is a digital LPTV, and would otherwise have donut-hole problems unless located in Hudson.  I think 28 may impossible (no intersection of donut holes between 29 at Stiles Hill, Boylston, and 27 at Parmenter Rd, Hudson).  30 would not be possible as a new allotment (donut hole against 29 in Boylston) but is grandfathered as one of the FCC's original 6th R&O allotments.  31 and 32 are in use.  33 is in use at Concord, New Hampshire.  34 is in use at Manchester (actually Goffstown, New Hampshire), and 35 is in use at Derry.  36 is then precluded by donut-hole and spacing to Albany.  37 is reserved for radio astronomy.  38 is possible if located on one of the Newton/Needham towers.  39 is in use.  40 is precluded by co-channel spacing to Springfield and Vineyard Haven.  41 is in use.  42, if WHDH doesn't take it back, would work and is fully spaced.  43 is in use.  44 may be possible.  45 is used in Hartford and Biddeford (Portland).  46 is used in Hartford.  47 is in use here.  48 is possible with a donut-hole limitation to Newton/Needham.  49 is used in Keene and Providence.  50 may be possible in Rehoboth (Providence) if that site is far enough away from Albany.
 * Summary: channels 25, 28 (in Boylston or Hudson), 38, 42, 44, 48, and 50 (in Providence) might be possible. 121a0012 (talk) 05:34, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Thank you for that amazing explanation! You obviously know a great deal about a very obscure but interesting field.  Where would one learn about these kinds of things?  What WP articles cover these subjects from this perspective?  Where does this kind of knowledge and data belong in WP, so that anyone interested in "Boston area OTA TV frequency allocation/usage" would be able to find it? -96.233.17.59 (talk) 02:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

 * The general answer to your question is that you hire a consulting engineer. I happen to know the market and the spacing restrictions reasonably well, even though I'm not an engineer (of that sort, anyway); I'd have a much tougher time answering the same question about Dallas, for example.  It's not clear to me that this sort of information belongs in Wikipedia; it almost certainly counts as original research.  It's research that I was happy to do, because I was interested in the answer, but not encyclopedic.  Someone who was suitably motivated might want to use an online mapping service to display the circles of exclusion given the existing FCC rules and allocations in use, but to do so for every market in the country would require the entire FCC database, and lots of individual knowledge about markets and geography.  A consulting engineer would combine that with U.S. Census data and software implementing the Longley-Rice propagation model to determine whether each possibility was actually feasible given the totality of FCC rules and economic reality.  (There are several vendors of such software.)  121a0012 (talk) 04:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, I can see how the current metroBoston details might not belong in a WP article... I am guessing from what you have said that we don't get to use some broadcast frequencies here because even though we aren't using them, they are in use "near-by", and a transmitter here would be "too close" to an existing broadcast zone that is in use. And are you also saying the although we may be getting signals on two adjacent (digital) freq channels, the actual transmitters have to be spaced by a certain geo physical distance -- about how much? That kind of general info for US OTA freq allocation/use certainly seems to belong in some WP article, along with links to where one would find the details of allocation/use for any particular area.

A bottom-line practical subject/question would be, in general, for US metro areas, how many OTA TV channels are in use, how many allocated to non-TV uses, and how many remain "unallocated and available" for general TV use? I am getting the impression that the general answer is "few or none remain unallocated and available"? -71.174.175.104 (talk) 23:14, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, all of the technical regulations for broadcast television are set out in parts 73 (full-power) and 74 (low-power) of the FCC Rules (Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations), although there is also significant case law. Other countries use different rules, and even within the U.S., different rules apply to the original 6th Report & Order table of allocations than would apply to any new allotment, and different rules apply to stations which are close enough to an international border to require coordination with Canada or Mexico.  There are two sets of spacing rules, one based on physical distance and one based on predicted electric fields (using Longley-Rice); proposed allotments must pass the first, and proposed facilities must pass the second.  The legal authority for the regulations comes from the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, which is codified at Title 47 of the United States Code.  The allotment spacing rules are specified at  paragraph (d).  121a0012 (talk) 02:35, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

WGBH Media Access Group
Hi,

I'm a WGBH employee, and would like to help clean up the WGBH-TV article, since I have access to most/all of the details in question in the article.

For starters, I can provide info verifying WGBH's media access history. What's the best way to verify/update facts without problems around COI? I'm happy to contribute facts for some sort of approval ahead of time, to avoid having them deleted later.

Here's the current language:

WGBH is also considered a leader in accessible media services for people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, or visually impaired. WGBH invented[citation needed] television closed captioning[citation needed], audio description[citation needed] (Descriptive Video Service), and created the Rear Window Captioning System for films[citation needed]; they provide these access services to commercial and public TV producers, and to home video, Web sites, and movie theaters nationwide.

How should I go about contributing the citations needed above?

Thanks in advance. Daisykin (talk) 15:39, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Since you are in a conflict-of-interest situation, please put your suggested material here on the discussion page, with references. Then the rest of us can decide what to incorporate into the article...-96.233.30.113 (talk) 12:26, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Production Funding?
Even WGBH's co-productions with, say, the BBC, are costly, and its budget must be a high multiple of most other PBS stations, even WNET. So where does the money come from? Does the station, for instance, have exclusive DVD/other media rights to distribution of its coproductions, which are then advertized on local PBS stations? Has the arrival of BBC America impacted any of this? Janko (talk) 08:40, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

 * That's an interesting question. I'd like to see some concrete figures, but so far as all the programs they produce is concerned, the other PBS stations that broadcast WGBH's programs pay for some (and probably most) of the cost. This is how PBS and NPR work in general when it comes to nationally broadcast content from member stations. Bostoner (talk) 22:01, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Antenna
"WGBH-TV's digital service operates on channel 19 from the same tower, with 700 kW average ERP from a panel antenna 374 meters AAT" http://www.bostonradio.org/stations/72099 (Updated: 2005-03-27)

What is a "panel antenna"? What is the antenna polarization of this signal? Please add a photo of the transmitter tower and the actual antenna to the article. What are the physical dimensions of the antenna?

The new digital OTA TV signal is very difficult to receive in the Boston urban area. Is there any data about this? The problem seems to be signal quality, more than signal strength. Multi-path problems? Seems particularly bad on windy days, or when an airplane passes by.

The channel 19 digital signal seemed sometimes usable in 2009, but mostly much worse (no reception) in 2010. What changed, and why? Are they doing experiments with the transmitter/signal? Is there any public source of information about this?

What special antennas are available for successfully receiving the WGBH channel 19 digital signal in Boston? -96.233.30.113 (talk) 12:48, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Channel 2.2
The article is vague and confused about 2.2. Previously, it broadcast a 480i SD version of 2.1 HD. Some time in April 2012 it started broadcasting a copy of 480i 44.2 "WGBH World" instead. The only difference seems to be that the 44.2 subchannel is fixed-bandwidth. 2.2 is currently variable-bandwidth, averaging slightly more than 44.2; 2.1 and 2.2 seem to both be variable, sharing a fixed bandwidth channel 19 together.

I can't access this, but maybe it contains useful info:
 * "WGBH World moves to channel 2.2 - Radio-Info.com Discussion
 * boards.radio-info.com/smf/index.php?topic=210042.0
 * Radio-Info.com Discussion Boards. Login, April 07, 2012, 04:18:58 .... Author, Topic: WGBH World moves to channel 2.2 (Read 5 times). ssetta. rimember."

When did 2.2 change? Why did it change? Is this connected to the ongoing broadcast antenna issues this month? Is this change temporary?-96.237.1.158 (talk) 13:09, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Broadcast status
WGBH/WGBX seems to have no public broadcast status page. They seem to hide related information on their "Contact us" page. When there is a problem with the broadcast antenna, they will sometimes put a note there about it. After a while, these notes disappear. There seems to be no public archive of this information.-96.237.4.73 (talk) 20:36, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I have also noticed this pattern of behavior, which is contrary to the traditions of openness and transparency in public service organizations. While rare, there have been both brief and extended outages of various GBH services. It is difficult to find out what happened either during or after outages, and a public record of these gaps in service does not seem to be available. This Wikipedia Talkpage seems to have the best record I have seen to date. Reify-tech (talk) 19:13, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

January 2013 broadcast outage
One evening late in January 2013 (Jan 25?) the fiber optic connection from the studios to the antenna site was broken, and WGBH/WGBX broadcast ceased for a few hours.

WGBH TV Studios in Basement of Museum of Science Sometime In The 1960s
Once upon a time when I was a child, I remember visiting the Museum of Science and there was a TV studio in the basement. Being the curious person that I was (and that I still am), I loved to touch and play with electronic stuff. I tried to play with some of the equipment and someone got mad at me and told me that I should not be playing with the electronics because that facility was the WGBH TV Studio. Do any of you know if WGBH spent time in the basement of the Museum of Science after their studio fire in Cambridge? Thank you. Allyn (talk) 20:18, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Broadcast outage October 2016

 * www.wgbh.org/about/contact.cfm
 * TRANSMISSION TOWER UPDATE - 10/24/16
 * On Saturday, October 22, there was a failure in the combined transmission antenna at the Needham tower site that affected over-air service for WGBX 44—our multicast services Create and Kids—as well as WBZ, WCVB, and WSBK, which all share the upper master antenna. Crews have been on the tower since Sunday assessing the situation.
 * While WGBH 2, which occupies the lower master antenna, was not directly impacted, its signal was temporarily off the air on Monday so the tower crews would not be exposed to its RF radiation.
 * As the diagnostic work continues, we have collaborated with the tower owner and the other stations that share the upper antenna, to move WGBX 44, WBZ, WCVB, and WSBK to the lower antenna position occupied by WGBH 2. This move has allowed all of those services to get back on the air.  And WGBH is now broadcasting on an auxiliary antenna at lower power.
 * On Tuesday we expect a new set of auxiliary antennas to arrive at the tower to be installed temporarily, and all channels will be moved to them for the duration of the repair work.

FCC repack, channel sharing, and other issues Aug 2019
I'm trying to figure out what just happened with the FCC repack. Digging out an old DTV converter box that displays OTA rf, virtual, and call sign data it looks like the following is true

WGBH-HD 2.1 is the "first" virtual channel, 1080 aka HD, on RF 5 WGBX-HD 44.1 is the "second" virtual channel, HD, on RF 5

World 2.2 is the nth virtual channel, 720 aka SD, on RF 32 WGBH-SD 2.3 is the nth virtual channel, 720 aka SD, on RF 32 WGBX-SD 44.2 is the nth virtual channel, 720 aka SD, on RF 32 Create 44.3 is the nth virtual channel, 720 aka SD, on RF 32 Kids 44.4 is the nth virtual channel, 720 aka SD, on RF 32

WYCN-CD 15.1 is the 1st??? virtual channel, 1080 aka HD, on RF 32 Cozi 15.2 is the nth virtual channel, 720 aka SD, on RF 32

Yep, 7 virtual channels on RF 32.

I tried to find the FCC docs, but its document templates do not reflect the technical strategy for channel sharing, etc.

The above is "documented" by the OTA encoding as displayed by my 2008 era channel master DTV converter.

Note this reflects the strategy for the incompatible DTV v3 roll out, so figuring out wikipedia templates to handle the multiple RF frequencies for a single broadcaster like WGBH and the multiple broadcasters on a single RF channel will only increase.

This note applies to WGBX, and the Boston NBC OTA situation using multiple transmitters at multiple sites, owned by multiple corporations as ripple effect from yanking NBC franchise from WHDH. WHDH "owns" RF which will be important in future DTV channel sharing in my opinion. Mulp (talk) 20:48, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

WGBH & Canada
Request for edit: WGBH's signal is no longer available in Canada. Therefore, this entire paragraph could be stricken: Under an agreement with Shaw Broadcast Services, WGBH-TV operates a satellite uplink facility at the station's Needham transmitter site. The facility relays the signals of WGBH-TV and four other Boston-area television stations (CBS owned-and-operated station WBZ-TV, ABC affiliate WCVB, NBC owned-and-operated station WBTS-CD, and Fox affiliate WFXT) to cable and satellite television providers across Atlantic Canada, and also relays the signal of MyNetworkTV affiliate WSBK to pay television providers throughout Canada. As a Canadian company, Shaw is not legally entitled to operate an uplink facility in the United States; as such, the company pays the WGBH Educational Foundation to perform this service on Shaw's behalf. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Code2396 (talk • contribs) 13:33, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It's my understanding that cable operator Eastlink still offers WGBH in the Halifax, Nova Scotia area and potentially other parts of Atlantic Canada – Eastlink's website doesn't provide region-specific affiliate information anymore but it's listed as being on Eastlink's Halifax lineup on Zap2It and TVPassport. Even if it is no longer offered by Eastlink, IMHO it's still pertinent to note it was available in Canada in the past (there are similar notes in the articles for other American stations like WTOL). — stickguy (:^›)— || talk || 21:30, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

generic complaint
An IP editor has repeatedly deleted the section describing the programming schedule, complaining that it is "generic". While it is not horribly dissimilar to the typical PBS station, this is still information of interest regarding the station. Given that just one editor has moved for this deletion and thus far three different editors have restored it, I am going to restore it again as there is sufficient sign of a working consensus for it. I invite the IP editor to come here and make their concerns known, and remind them to reach consensus for deletion before re-deleting it. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 15:09, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Ludovic Giuly

Ludovic Vincent Giuly (born 10 July 1976) is a French former professional footballer who played as a winger.

Giuly represented France at international level, gaining 17 caps over a five-year period and was a member of their 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup-winning squad. One of his greatest moments was being part of Barcelona's squad, as he helped the team win the UEFA Champions League in 2005–06. Since June 2022, he’s been the assistant manager of Lyon.

Early life
Giuly was immersed in the world of football from an early age since his father, Dominique Giuly, born in the village of Zalana, in Corsica, was a former goalkeeper, who played briefly in professional football for Bastia before continuing an amateur career until the age of 32 with several clubs in the suburbs of Lyon. Ludovic Giuly made his debut in the club in which his father was then active: the ASCMO, now known as Monts d'Or Azergues Foot, in the city of Chasselay, located about twenty kilometers from Lyon. He then entered the training center of Olympique Lyonnais. In 1994, he won the Coupe Gambardella with their U18 team.

Lyon
Giuly began his career with Lyon in 1994 at age 18, and made his debut for the club in a Division 1 match on 21 January 1995 against Cannes; a 3–1 win. The following season, Giuly earned the nickname "the magic elf", referring to his low height (1.64 metres) and his vivacious character. In the 1996–97 season, Giuly finished the season with 16 goals in 37 matches. During the 1997–98 season, he played 19 matches with Lyon and scored one goal. He made his last appearance for Lyon on 10 January 1998 in a 1–0 loss against Marseille, where he played 90 minutes.

AS Monaco
Giuly was signed by Monaco in the winter break in January 1998. The transfer fee was €7.5 million (£6.6 million), although the fee was then assessed at 42 million francs, which was a considerable sum at that time.

Just ten days after playing for Lyon against Marseille, Giuly made his Monaco debut against them in a 1–1 draw on 20 January 1998. Giuly scored his first goal for Monaco in a 5–2 win over Bordeaux in May 1998, on the final day of Ligue 1. In his first half-season with Monaco, he made a total of 12 appearances, scoring once.

In the 1999–2000 season, Giuly proved to be a key member in the Monaco squad on its right side, as he led his team to the Ligue 1 title for the first time since 1997. The next season turned out to be a troublesome campaign, after Monaco finished in 11th place in the league. Giuly scored 7 goals in 30 appearances. In the 2001–02 season, Giuly started strongly with two goals against Paris Saint-Germain and Lens respectively, before he suffered ruptured ligaments in his right knee which kept him sidelined for almost the entire season and spoiled his chances of playing in the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

The 2002–03 season was decisive for Giuly. He made his return from injury in a match against Troyes in a 4–0 win on 3 August 2003. In the 2003 Coupe de la Ligue Final between Monaco and Sochaux, Giuly captained the side and scored a brace in a 4–1 win to win the Coupe de la Ligue for the first time in the club's history. His good performance at Monaco led him being selected in the FIFA Confederations Cup which France won.

At the start of the 2003–04 season – Giuly's last with Monaco – he scored a superb overhead kick during a league match against Lens with an assist from Jérôme Rothen, having suffered an injury that kept him out for a week prior to the game. While the club floundered in the race for the Ligue 1 title, they had a fantastic run in the UEFA Champions League progressing through the group stage (where Giuly scored goals at home to AEK Athens and Deportivo de La Coruña) and making it through to the knockout stage. Here, Monaco eliminated Lokomotiv Moscow, Real Madrid (in which he scored a brace in the second leg) and Chelsea. Giuly captained Monaco in the final, where they lost 3–0 to José Mourinho's Porto. This was a particularly galling defeat for Giuly because he suffered a groin injury early in the match, forcing him to leave the field in the 23rd minute, being replaced by Dado Pršo. Without Giuly, the club's task of winning the final was even more compromised. Even manager Didier Deschamps admitted that losing Giuly was a "big blow" and said, "Giuly's injury was not good news for us – he is a very important player for us on the offensive side." This was Giuly's last appearance for Monaco.

Barcelona

Barcelona paid about €7 million to Monaco in order to sign Giuly on 28 June 2004, with Giuly signing a three-year contract. On 29 August 2004, Giuly scored on his Barcelona debut against Racing de Santander in a 2–0 win and played 90 minutes. On his move, Giuly was happy after enjoying a successful start to life in Spain.

Giuly helped Barcelona to win La Liga in the 2004–05 season, ending a six-year championship drought. He was the second top scorer for the club with 11 goals. Although his season was disrupted by several muscle injuries, Giuly was able to fulfil his promise to reach double digits in goals in his first year at his new club.

In 2005–06, he helped win the Spanish title again, as well as capture the second UEFA Champions League trophy for the Catalan club. Giuly propelled Barça into the Champions League final by scoring the only goal in their semi-final against Milan. After the match, Giuly said he had called on his teammates to keep calm and finish the job: "Ronnie passed me the perfect ball. I attempted a shot from the left, the ball went in, so much the better! Now we've got one foot in the final, we have to remain cool and work hard to try and go all the way."

Giuly played the full 90 minutes in Paris as Barcelona came from a goal behind to defeat Arsenal 2–1 at the Stade de France. Giuly subsequently scored, but the goal was ruled out due to the foul resulting Jens Lehmann sending off (making him the first player and only goalkeeper to ever be sent off in a Champions League/European Cup final). FIFA president Sepp Blatter later said he believed Giuly's goal should have stood.

In the 2006–07 season, Giuly, although still a key member of the Barça squad, eventually lost his starting spot in the team, when Lionel Messi was promoted from the club's youth ranks. This resulted in Giuly saying his farewell to Barcelona.

Roma
On 17 July 2007, Giuly signed for Roma on a three-year deal after the club paid a £2.2 million transfer fee to Barça. A month later, Giuly won his first trophy with his new club, winning the Supercoppa Italiana against Internazionale (0–1). On 26 August 2007, he made his Serie A debut for Roma in a 2–0 win over Palermo. The next match, on 2 September, Giuly scored his first goal in a 3–0 win over Siena. In the UEFA Champions League group stage, Giuly scored and provided assist for Mirko Vučinić in a 4–1 win over Ukrainian side Dynamo Kyiv on 27 November. In the second leg of the round of 16 in the Coppa Italia, he also scored and provided two assists for Mancini and Roma fan favourite Francesco Totti in a 4–0 win over Torino on 16 January 2008.

However, Giuly's only season at Roma had him scoring more than many starting players which made him in the top five scorers at the club for the season he spent at Stadio Olimpico.

Paris Saint-Germain
Desiring to return to France for more playing time, Giuly was coveted by Monaco, Marseille and Lyon, but on 18 July 2008, he signed with Paris Saint-Germain on a three-year contract, with PSG paying a reported €2.5 million transfer fee to Roma. On 9 August 2008, he made his PSG debut against former club Monaco in a 1–0 loss. After an early season goal drought, marked by injury, he scored his first goal for PSG during their 1–0 win over Lille on 10 November. He scored his second goal against Le Havre and lead the team to a victory against Lyon, scoring a header against his first club. He scored his first brace of the season on 7 February 2009 against Nantes. In his first season at the club, PSG had moderate success in Ligue 1, finishing in sixth place and narrowly missing out on European play due to inferior goal difference.

In his second season (2009–10), PSG's league form was much worse and they finished in 13th place. He scored the first goal for the Parisian team against Montpellier (1–1) on the first day of the championship and scored again in their second fixture against Le Mans, as well as in their fifth fixture, against Lyon. That season, PSG won the Coupe de France, defeating his former team Monaco in the final.

In his third and final season (2010–11), Giuly began by scoring in play-off round of the UEFA Europa League, away at Maccabi Tel Aviv. In Ligue 1, PSG pushed up in the league table, especially after the arrival of winger Nenê, who had transferred in the summer of 2010. On 27 October 2010, Giuly scored against Lyon in Coupe de la Ligue, allowing PSG to win the match 2–1. Giuly scored four goals in the league that season, against Montpellier, Brest, Sochaux and Nice, and also made eight assists. On 29 June 2011, Giuly's contract with PSG was not renewed upon expiry.

Return to Monaco
Giuly spent the summer of 2011 training with his former club Monaco. On 9 August 2011, he signed a two-year contract with the club, then playing in Ligue 2. His move back to Monaco was a surprise to the Monegasque supporters, though the club's goal was to return to Ligue 1 within the year. He got back the number 8 shirt he wore during his first spell at the club. A negotiated reconversion within the club was included in the contract. In his first match, the club lost 1–2 against Stade de Reims. On 29 August 2011, Guily scored his first goal in over seven years at Monaco in a 2–2 draw against Lens. On 14 January 2012, Giuly scored his second goal in a 1–0 win over Istres. On 13 April, he scored his third goal in a 2–0 win over Metz. Upon his return, he established himself in the starting eleven throughout the season.

Ahead of the 2012–13 season, Giuly found himself being frozen out of the first team by newly appointed manager Claudio Ranieri and lost the captaincy to Andreas Wolf. On 27 July 2012, Giuly left Monaco by mutual consent after just one year. In a friendly match against Tours, the club hosted a ceremony in his honour. Giuly said, "Monaco has allowed me to express the best years my life as a footballer. I want to thank the leaders for the conditions in which I ended my adventure with the ASMFC."

Lorient
On 31 July 2012, Giuly signed for Lorient on a one-year contract on a free transfer. Giuly made his debut, coming on as a substitute for Yann Jouffre, in a 2–1 win over Montpellier and two weeks later, on 1 September 2012, Giuly scored his first goal for the club, in a 3–0 win over Nancy. Then, four months later, in the second round of Coupe de France, Giuly scored his last career goal, in a 1–0 win over Sedan.

Towards the end of the season, on 11 May 2013, Giuly announced his retirement. Giuly ended his professional career on 26 May 2013 in a home match against his former club Paris Saint-Germain, in the final round of the season. Giuly left the pitch in the 72nd minute to standing ovations, and was even awarded a shirt with his old number by the visitors. His last appearance was also his 401st appearance in Ligue 1.

Monts d'Or Azergues Foot
Following his retirement, Giuly joined Monts d'Or Azergues Foot, a fourth-tier team based near Lyon; the team is a successor to Chasselay, where he started his career. On 4 January 2014, he inspired his team to a penalty shootout win over Ligue 2 side Istres in the Coupe de France.

International career
Giuly has been capped for France, but was removed from his country's UEFA Euro 2004 squad due to a leg injury he sustained in the 2004 Champions League final.

Giuly was not selected for the French 2006 FIFA World Cup squad, as young Marseille playmaker Franck Ribéry was selected over him. However, with Djibril Cissé having broken his leg in a World Cup warm-up match against China, Giuly could have been called up, but he asserted after the initial France squad was announced that he would go on holiday to Dubai and Kish instead of waiting idly in the stand-by squad, and Sidney Govou was called up instead. Despite this, France head coach Raymond Domenech opened a door for Giuly whether he want to play for the national team.

Giuly also qualified for the non-FIFA affiliated team of Corsica, having been called up for their 31 May 2011 friendly with Bulgaria.

Personal life
On 15 May 2007, Giuly's autobiography "Giuly by Giuly" was published by Hugo & Co. In the autobiography, Giuly settles accounts with former France coach Raymond Domenech, including revelations about his alleged affair with Domenech's partner Estelle Denis.

From September 2006 to March 2007, Giuly worked as a columnist each Thursday in Luis Attaque on Radio Monte Carlo (RMC). In 2010, he incorporated Ultimate Player, a service company for professional footballers. The company employs 40 people.

Giuly tested positive for the H1N1 (Swine flu) virus in October 2009 along with two PSG teammates, Jérémy Clément and Mamadou Sakho. This led to the league postponing Marseille's match with Paris St Germain.

In January 2013, Monts d'Or Azergues Foot named their home stadium after Giuly as the Stade Ludovic Giuly.

Danish Wikipedia

The Danish Wikipedia (Dansk Wikipedia) started on 1 February 2002 and is the Danish language edition of Wikipedia. As of July 2024, it has articles and its article depth is.

Task
One of the major tasks of Danish Wikipedia is to ensure that every Danish individual will be able to access, read and obtain information from Wikipedia. Danes will join a wide and open studying environment to discuss the knowledge with Wiki users from all over the world, thus raising people's level of knowledge.

Characteristics

 * No fair use: The Danish Wikipedia has no fair use provisions. No fair use claims are allowed and all images (except Wikimedia logos) must be available under a free license.
 * Copyright law: Very few works are exempt from copyright under Danish law, and the number of images available from third-party sources is much lower than that for the English and German Wikipedias. Images exempt from copyright due to laws in the country of origin are accepted. Works by the Danish government are protected by copyright like other texts, with the exception of laws and legal texts. However, this exception does not apply to accompanying illustrations, since these can be considered "works appearing as independent contributions" in these texts. Government publications and Danish insignia are consequently protected by copyright similar to ordinary works. It is likely that the text of heraldic blazons is free, provided that they were printed in the National Gazette or Statstidende (though the text may be free, an accompanying illustration is not). Composite works and joint works are protected until 70 years after the death of the last-living contributor. All photos are protected by copyright for at least 50 years, and this protection is considered to also apply to photographs of works of art otherwise in the public domain. Photos with artistic merit are protected for 70 years p.m.a. No equivalent of Bridgeman v. Corel exists, but a similar situation exists for pre-1970 images, since simple photos published before 1 January 1970 are still regulated by the pre-1995 rules, which operated with a short protection span for such works. Freedom of panorama can be applied for images of buildings, but images of permanently installed works of art in public spaces are only exempt from copyright if such use is non-commercial. Photos of statues can consequently only be used on the Danish Wikipedia if the sculptor died more than 70 years ago. A notable work of art with this problem is the Little Mermaid statue.
 * Commons: Files uploaded to the Danish Wikipedia must be used in article space within a week, or the file will be listed for deletion. This rule was introduced to discourage local uploads, given that all images used on the Danish Wikipedia are compatible with the requirements of Commons. Uploads to Commons are strongly encouraged.
 * Article assessment: The Danish Wikipedia has not yet adopted ratings equivalent to the English Wikipedia's featured articles and A-grade. The highest grade is Anbefalede artikler (AA) (recommended articles), which is defined as an equivalent of the English Wikipedia's good articles grade. Raising an article to this level requires a process similar in form to the Featured Articles process on the English Wikipedia, and many criteria are similar. In addition, any article nominated for AA must previously have been elevated to Lovende artikler (LA) (promising articles)-grade. Categories equivalent to Stub-class, Start-class and B-class are also used. Anbefalede artikler are tagged with the GA symbol known from the English Wikipedia, and Lovende artikler are tagged with a blue version of the same symbol.
 * Projects and portals: Wikiprojects and portals have both been introduced, inspired by the English Wikipedia. Examples are the History portal and "Shoot a Church", a project aimed at creating free images of Danish churches.
 * GA task forces. The first AA-Taskforce was introduced in 2007. The goal is to elevate entire groups of articles to AA status. The idea is similar to the English Wikipedia's Featured topics, but article quality will be lower than on the English project. Two taskforces currently exist: Capitals of Europe and heavy metal music.
 * Article of the Week: Ugens artikel (UA) features prominently on the front page for a single week. The article is selected by a vote and editors are strongly encouraged to improve it in the week leading up to its prominent display.
 * Since Danish is mutually intelligible with Swedish and Norwegian, administrators of the site collaborate with those at the respective Wikipedias through the Skanwiki section of the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki site.
