Olympic Channel (American TV channel)

Olympic Channel (branded as Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA) was an American pay television sports channel owned by the NBC Olympics, a joint venture between NBC Sports and the United States Olympic Committee. It was dedicated to Olympic sports, and was a franchise of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) Olympic Channel operation.

The network was founded in 2003 as Bravo HD+, which aired programs from the fellow NBC Universal network Bravo that had been produced in high definition. In 2004, the network was re-branded as Universal HD, serving as an outlet for HD broadcasts of programming from NBC Universal channels, as well as acquired films and television series. This format became increasingly redundant by the 2010s, as most mainstream cable networks were now being broadcast in the format. As such, in 2015, NBC Sports began to use the channel and sister NBCSN as an outlet for the programming of the defunct Universal Sports, consisting mainly of coverage of events in Olympic sports held outside of the Olympic Games.

In 2017, the channel relaunched as Olympic Channel, which continued this focus as a companion to NBCUniversal's broadcast rights to the Olympics; alongside Olympic and Paralympic sports coverage, it also carried documentaries and other programming chronicling the Olympic Games and its history, shoulder programming during the Olympics proper, and coverage of the Paralympic Games since 2018 (alongside NBCSN). In 2021, the channel aired live event coverage during the Olympics for the first (and ultimately, only) time.

On July 1, 2022, NBCUniversal announced that Olympic Channel would be shut down on September 30, 2022, with plans to move its programming to other outlets to be determined.

As Bravo HD+/Universal HD
The channel was launched on July 31, 2003, as Bravo HD+, serving as a high-definition companion service to Bravo, though not a simulcast of its programming. On December 1, 2004, the network was rebranded as Universal HD, shifting its focus towards library content, either filmed in high-definition or remastered into HD, particularly from Universal Pictures, Sony Pictures Television under a syndication agreement, and other NBC Universal channels.

Most of the programs broadcast by Universal HD were first aired by one of NBC Universal's cable networks including Bravo, USA Network, Syfy and Chiller before their HD simulcast networks were launched. In its early years, it carried sports coverage from USA in the HD format, including its rights to the Masters Tournament, tennis's US Open, and the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

The network's original purpose came amid bandwidth constraints that existed at the time, which limited the number of HD channels that television providers could offer to their subscribers. By 2007, however, technological improvements that improved capacity, and the growing amount of HD content, prompted more mainstream cable networks (including NBC Universal's channels) to begin launching their own HD feeds.

To fill its schedule, Universal HD acquired rights to network series that had been produced in the format, such as UPN's Sex, Love & Secrets and South Beach (with the former including the premieres of episodes that had been left unaired after its cancellation by UPN). From August 1 to December 26, 2007, the channel carried a weekly block of programming from then-sister network Sundance Channel, which was sponsored by Microsoft. It also, as part of a consortium of other NBC Universal networks and Sundance Channel, broadcast the entirety of the 2007 Live Earth concerts in high definition.

As Olympic Channel
In November 2015, Universal Sports, a sports channel owned by InterMedia Partners with a minority stake held by NBC, ceased operations. NBC Sports acquired the rights to the content that was previously held by the channel, which consisted primarily of competitions in Olympic sports, and dispersed across Universal HD, NBCSN, and NBC Sports Live Extra. In June 2017, NBCUniversal announced that Universal HD would be replaced by Olympic Channel on July 15, 2017. The move came in response to changing market conditions in the U.S. television industry, including the growth of "skinny" over-the-top linear television services delivered over the internet, and an overall decline in "niche" channels that originate little to no original programming.

The U.S. version of Olympic Channel was a franchise of the IOC's Olympic Channel network operated in conjunction with NBC Sports and the United States Olympic Committee. The channel carried coverage of competitions in Olympic sports that take place outside of the Olympic Games (such as world championships), and other programming focusing on Olympic athletes. It drew from programming commissioned for the international version of Olympic Channel, original programming produced by the USOC, and the archives of NBC.

The USOC had announced preliminary plans in July 2009 to launch an Olympic sports-oriented channel with Comcast, who would go onto announce its intent to acquire NBC Universal later that year. The joint venture was folded in April 2010, with the planned acquisition of NBC (who ran its own Olympic sport-focused channel with InterMedia Partners, Universal Sports) having been cited as a potential distraction from the proposed channel (which was originally intended to launch following the 2010 Winter Olympics).

The rebranding occurred on the morning of July 15, 2017; its launch weekend programming included coverage of events in the World Aquatics Championships, the Volleyball World Grand Prix, the World Para Athletics Championships and the IAAF Diamond League. Besides Xfinity, providers who carried the channel at launch included Altice, AT&T U-verse, DirecTV, Dish Network, Spectrum, and Verizon Fios, along with Hulu's live TV service; NBC stated that it would be available in 35 million households when the rebranding occurs.

The network carried news and highlights during the 2018 Winter Olympics (with full event coverage delegated to other NBCUniversal networks), including the Jimmy Roberts-hosted studio program Winter Olympics Daily, the daily medals ceremony, and the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) production Olympic Channel News. The network participated in NBCSN's event coverage of the 2018 Winter Paralympics. Olympic Channel was incorporated into NBC's event coverage of the Olympics for the first time at the 2020 Summer Olympics, airing coverage of the tennis and wrestling competitions, along with a repeating Olympic news feed during non-event hours. It also aired coverage of the 2020 Summer Paralympics alongside NBCSN.

On July 1, 2022, NBCUniversal announced that Olympic Channel would close on September 30, 2022, with a representative stating that the company was "reevaluating our programming distribution strategy regarding the content that currently airs on Olympic Channel". The closing comes as NBCUniversal prioritizes its streaming service Peacock, along with the earlier shutdown of NBCSN at the end of 2021 and move of its cable sports properties to USA and CNBC.

WTVF

WTVF (channel 5) is a television station in Nashville, Tennessee, United States, affiliated with CBS. It is owned by the E. W. Scripps Company alongside Ion Television owned-and-operated station WNPX-TV (channel 28). WTVF's studios are located on James Robertson Parkway in downtown Nashville, and its transmitter is located north of downtown along I-24 near Whites Creek.

History
WTVF first signed on the air August 6, 1954, as WLAC-TV, originally owned by the Life and Casualty Insurance Company, and Nashville businessmen Guilford Dudley, Al Beaman and Thomas Baker. Life and Casualty's chairman of the board Paul Mountcastle and his investment group also held controlling interest in WROL-TV in Knoxville (now WATE-TV), but the two stations were not considered to be co-owned. Ever since its inception, WLAC-TV's analog signal was short-spaced to Memphis' WMC-TV, and Atlanta's WAGA-TV, also on VHF channel 5 (coincidentally, WMC-TV began on channel 4 and was immediately short-spaced to WSM-TV in Nashville, now WSMV). WLAC-TV was owned alongside WLAC radio (1510 AM) and later WLAC-FM (105.9 FM, now WNRQ). The call sign reflected the initials of the insurance company. It immediately took the CBS affiliation from WSIX-TV (channel 8, eventually WKRN-TV on channel 2) because WLAC (AM) had been Nashville's CBS Radio affiliate since 1928. With WLAC-TV, Nashville became one of the smallest cities in the United States to have three fully separate network-affiliated commercial television stations. American General Corporation, a Houston-based insurer, bought L&C and WLAC-AM-FM-TV in the 1960s.

In 1975, American General sold channel 5 to the Hobby family of Houston (owners of KPRC-AM-TV and the now-defunct Houston Post), who changed the station's call letters to the current WTVF on December 1. The call letter change was brought on due to an FCC rule in place at the time forbidding TV and radio stations in the same city from sharing the same base callsign if they had separate owners. American General/L&C eventually sold WLAC-AM-FM to other interests and the other stations have had several owners over the years. In 1983, the Hobbys reorganized their broadcast holdings as H&C Communications after the Post was sold. Landmark Communications, based in Norfolk, Virginia, bought WTVF from the Hobbys in 1994.

On January 30, 2008, Landmark announced its intention to sell WTVF, along with sister station KLAS-TV in Las Vegas and cable network The Weather Channel. This was followed on July 14, 2008, with an announcement that WTVF would be sold to Bonten Media Group, which at that time already owned 16 broadcast television stations in five states, including WCYB-TV in Bristol, Virginia. However, the deal was called off due to the economic crisis of 2008 as Bonten informed Landmark that it could not close on the purchase after its key financial backer for that purchase, Lehman Brothers, filed for what remains the largest bankruptcy in American history. Although the sale of The Weather Channel and some other assets was eventually completed, Landmark (which changed its name from Landmark Communications to Landmark Media Enterprises in September 2008) took most of its other properties off the market in October 2008. As a result, WTVF and KLAS remained owned by Landmark. WTVF would have become the largest station owned by Bonten, as well as the first CBS affiliate in its portfolio.

On May 1 and 2, 2010, WTVF's newsroom was flooded with 3 ft of water, and became non-operational for three months as it was being rebuilt. During the flooding, equipment was hastily moved to other locations around the building to prevent disruption of the station's news operation.

On September 4, 2012, Milwaukee-based Journal Communications announced that it would purchase WTVF from Landmark for $215 million. The FCC approved the sale on October 22, and it was consummated on December 6. With the transaction's completion, WTVF became the largest Journal-owned station by market size (displacing flagship WTMJ-TV, which became the second largest). It also made WTVF the sister station of KLAS-TV's rival, KTNV-TV.

On July 30, 2014, less than two years after Landmark sold the station to Journal, it was announced that Journal Communications would be bought out by the E. W. Scripps Company in an all-stock transaction. Scripps retained the companies' broadcast holdings, including WTVF, and spun off their print holdings into Journal Media Group. This marks the second time that Scripps has owned a Tennessee television station, as it was the founding owner of WMC-TV in Memphis from its 1948 sign-on until 1993. The FCC approved the deal on December 12, 2014. It was approved by the two companies' shareholders on March 11, 2015, and it closed on April 1.

On September 24, 2020, a consortium made up of Scripps and Berkshire Hathaway announced the proposed purchase of Ion Media. As there were no regulatory complications within the Nashville market, the deal made Ion station WNPX-TV (channel 28) a sister station to WTVF. The transaction was finalized and closed on January 7, 2021.

WTVF-DT2
WTVF-DT2, branded as NewsChannel 5 Plus or NewsChannel 5+, is the second digital subchannel of WTVF, operating as an independent station. It broadcasts in standard definition on channel 5.2.

NewsChannel 5+ was introduced and launched in September 1996 as an all-news and information cable-only channel for the Nashville area. In addition to locally produced shows and newscast repeats, NewsChannel 5+ also carried programming from All News Channel until that service folded in September 2002. After that point, the channel's programming schedule relies mostly on original content.

NewsChannel 5+ was relaunched as an over-the-air digital sub-channel on June 21, 2009, nine days after the Digital TV transition of 2009, when WTVF began utilizing digital multi-casting on its digital signal. Since then, News Channel 5+ is being broadcast on digital channel 5.2. In mid-2014, WTVF-DT2's standard definition picture was upgraded to 16:9 SD widescreen to accommodate widescreen TVs.

WTVF-DT3
WTVF-DT3, the third digital subchannel, which is also available on Comcast channel 249, was launched as an affiliate of This TV on the same day as the over-the-air relaunch of NewsChannel 5+ on WTVF-DT2. On September 24, 2015, it was replaced by Laff. On September 1, 2021, Bounce TV replaced Laff.

Programming
From September 2017 to May 2019, WTVF produced the syndicated daily talk show Pickler & Ben, featuring country artist Kellie Pickler and comedian Ben Aaron. The program, which the station served as its flagship station, was recorded with a live audience at Skyway Studios, the former north Nashville studio facility of the Christian Broadcasting Network.

WTVF provides local coverage of New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash on December 31 each year since 2021.

Sports programming
In 1998, WTVF became the primary home station for the Tennessee Titans, then still known as the Oilers starting with that season, when the rights to air road games of the National Football League's American Football Conference moved to CBS from NBC. In 2014, the first eight weeks of NFL Network's Thursday Night Football were added to WTVF's sports programming roster due to the new partnership between NFL Network and CBS to simulcast that program. WTVF began simulcasting any of the Tennessee Titans' TNF appearances in the late half of the season, beginning with the Titans–Jacksonville Jaguars game on November 19, 2015. In the 2013 and 2014 seasons, that duty was previously held by Fox affiliate WZTV; from 2018 to 2021, WZTV broadcast TNF games as part of Fox's rights to the package. In 2022, TNF broadcasts returned to WTVF; currently, any of the Titans' Thursday night appearances air on the station through a simulcast with Amazon Prime Video.

In the mid-1980s, WTVF shared with WZTV the local broadcast rights to Southeastern Conference basketball games produced by the Lorimar Sports Network until that syndication service dissolved after the 1985–86 season. Beginning January 1987, when Jefferson-Pilot Teleproductions began syndicating those games, WSMV began serving as the package's primary Nashville-area rights-holder until WUXP-TV won the local rights for the rest of that package's run.

WTVF aired any Vanderbilt Commodores football games selected for broadcast on the SEC on CBS from 1996 to 2023.

Past programming
The station's Studio A, which was built in 1967 near the Tennessee State Capitol building, was also the home of the hit show Hee Haw for most of its 1968 to 1993 run; its last few years were recorded at The Nashville Network's studios, adjacent to the now-defunct Opryland USA theme park. Additionally, the 1970s syndicated version of Candid Camera originated from the station's facilities for most of its run.

The station's relation to WLAC, which was known for many years for its nighttime soul music programming, led it to air a groundbreaking show on Friday and Saturday nights during the mid-and late-1960s called Night Train hosted by Noble Blackwell (a disc jockey on Nashville soul radio station WVOL (1470 AM)), which featured R&B performances and dancing similar to American Bandstand. From 1972 to 1975, Show Biz, Inc.'s The Bobby Goldsboro Show was recorded at the WLAC-TV/WTVF studios.

In March 1984, WTVF launched its locally produced magazine format program, Talk of the Town, hosted by Debbie Alan. Co-hosts Harry Chapman and Joe Case joined the show a few months later. Case also did weather for the show and for the morning and midday newscasts, while Chapman was the station's entertainment reporter.

WTVF aired the CBS Daytime lineup out of pattern in the late 1980s to early 1990s. WTVF aired The Bold and the Beautiful on a delay at 1:30 p.m. and As the World Turns at 3 p.m.; Talk of the Town occupied the 12:30 p.m. timeslot. Like many other CBS stations prior to the 1993 debut of Late Show with David Letterman, WLAC/WTVF also did not carry CBS' late night programming airing their own syndicated programs such as newsmagazines and sitcoms.

WTVF-DT2 programming
WTVF-DT2 features locally produced programming, repeats of local news from the main channel, and a few syndicated shows that may not fit on the program schedule of the main channel. There is also live gavel-to-gavel coverage of high-profile criminal trials in the Nashville area including those of Paul Dennis Reid, Perry March, Mary Winkler, Lindsey Lowe, as well as the three suspects in the Holly Bobo case, the latter of which gained national attention in the 2010s. WTVF-DT2 goes live during severe weather and will sometimes air local newscasts if CBS programming is preempted on the main channel, such as during the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, which has been a staple in CBS Sports programming since 1982.

Since CBS Saturday Morning does not run on the main channel, it runs instead on WTVF-DT2 on a one-hour delay, from 8 to 10 a.m. CT. CBS Overnight News is also run almost in its entirety during each weekday morning, usually from 1:35 to 3:30 a.m., since the main channel airs certain syndicated programming, and does not join the overnight news program until 2:37 a.m. It also carries the full hour of CBS' Face the Nation, since WTVF only shows the first half-hour of the program; the main channel airs religious programming from 10 to 11 a.m. Children's educational programming on WTVF-DT2 is a replay of the children's programming block that is run on WTVF-DT3 on Sunday mornings; WTVF-DT2 rebroadcasts that programming on Sunday afternoons.

WTVF-DT2 also replays most, if not all, newscasts and editions of their locally produced show, Talk of the Town. In addition, WTVF-DT2's parent station also produces five hours of newscasts each week for NewsChannel 5+ in the form of an hour-long extension of WTVF's weekday morning newscast airing from 7 to 8 a.m.

News operation
WTVF broadcasts 37 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with $5 1/2$ hours each on Mondays through Saturdays and four hours on Sundays); in addition, the station produces the half-hour news/interview program Talk of the Town on weekdays at 11 a.m. and a weekly sports wrap-up program Sunday Sports Central on Sundays at 10:22 p.m. as part of the 10 p.m. newscast. The station also produces five hours of newscasts each week for NewsChannel 5+ in the form of an hour-long extension of WTVF's weekday morning newscast at 7 a.m. Weekday morning newscasts last from 4 to 7 a.m. (not counting the extension on NewsChannel 5+), and the 6 p.m. newscasts last for a full hour. Since February 22, 2014, WTVF's weekend morning newscast started at 5 a.m., lasting until 9 a.m. on Saturdays and 8 a.m. on Sundays.

Talk of the Town, the station's primary mid-day show, premiered on WTVF on March 19, 1984. The show features information about upcoming events around middle Tennessee, interviews with local personalities (some national), as well as some recipes are featured on the show. In April 2014, the station celebrated the show's 30th anniversary by airing pieces of old episodes within the past 30 years of the show's run for a few weeks. With the show still on the air, Talk of The Town was declared the longest locally produced television show in the Nashville television market, and the whole nation. It currently airs every weekday at 11 a.m. on the main channel, with replays at various times on WTVF-DT2/NewsChannel 5+.

History of the news department
A full broadcast of the August 8, 1974, 6 p.m. newscast exists in the Vanderbilt Television News Archive in Nashville, the result of the Archive's staff inadvertently leaving recording equipment on after taping CBS News' coverage of the events leading to the resignation of President Richard Nixon at 5:30 p.m., in the wake of the Watergate scandal. The broadcast featured interviews with Nashville-area and Tennessee politicians about that day's events in Washington and was anchored by Harry Chapman, with Ron Kaiser doing the weather and Hope Hines the sports. Main anchor Chris Clark filed a telephone report from Washington concerning reaction from the senators and representatives in Tennessee's Congressional delegation. Since it was not the policy of the Archive to record local newscasts alongside network ones and this occurrence was quite accidental, this may well be the only preserved, full-length Nashville television news broadcast prior to the late 1970s (when videocassette recorders became widely marketed to the public), other than local cut-ins to network election coverage and two 1973 special broadcasts of Today (on WSM-TV). It is available for public viewing at the Archive, but because of the equipment at the time, the broadcast was recorded in black and white, although all live television by then was broadcast in color. Before the advent of satellite technology in the 1980s, the Archive taped all CBS News broadcasts from the airwaves of WLAC-TV/WTVF.

During the 1970s and 1980s, the station used the Eyewitness News moniker for its newscasts. The current NewsChannel 5 branding and logo have been in use since August 1989. In 1974, WLAC became the first network affiliate in the country to use Electronic News Gathering (ENG) to bring live field reports to its viewers. On February 2, 2007, WTVF unveiled a new on-air look complete with a new state-of-the-art news set, weather center, and graphics in tandem its official upgrade to high definition newscasts (becoming the 25th television station in the United States to broadcast its local news programming in high definition and one of only four at the time with an HD weather center and system). The new set was built in a separate studio from its existing news set minimizing disruptions of news operations. The old, existing news set is now currently used for some original programs aired on NewsChannel 5+, which is broadcast over WTVF-DT2.

WTVF produced daily 90-second news updates for UniMás affiliate WLLC-LP (channel 42), anchored by Eva Melo. It was the only Spanish-language newscast in Nashville, a market consisting of about 4% Spanish-speaking viewers, a fast-growing audience in the Middle Tennessee area. As of 2011, WTVF no longer produced news updates for WLLC-LP, as they were canceled.

WTVF started using Scripps' standardized graphics in May 2016.

Weather coverage
The station's weather coverage utilized its first live doppler radar in 1958.

On April 16, 1998, WTVF was knocked off the air due to an F3 tornado striking downtown Nashville. This occurred while meteorologists Ron Howes and Joe Case were broadcasting live, showing the actual tornado from the station's SkyCam as it entered downtown Nashville. Before the interruption of the signal, which was caused by winds in excess of 100 mph, the station's weather camera on top of the AT&T Building (then BellSouth Building) captured the tornado as it moved into downtown Nashville during the station's broadcast of wall-to-wall tornado warning coverage that afternoon. The station returned to the air shortly after that, with Chris Clark and Ron Howes broadcasting weather information from the station's transmitter, with the help of a legal notepad, a two-way radio and a television camera connected directly to the transmitter for the remainder of the afternoon.

Currently, the station's weather department utilizes data from five National Weather Service NEXRAD doppler radars (Nashville, Huntsville, Memphis, Paducah, and Louisville). The station also has a policy of broadcasting uninterrupted, wall-to-wall severe weather coverage when a tornado warning is issued for any part of the station's primary coverage area.

Past on-air staff; awards
As WLAC-TV, the station helped launch the career of a young African-American reporter and local Nashvillian named Oprah Winfrey by making her a regular news anchor in the early 1970s. Behind Winfrey, the station's most notable anchor is Greek-American Chris Clark (real name Christopher Botsaris), who served as the station's main anchor for 41 years from 1966 to 2007, longer than anyone in Nashville television history. In June 2006, Clark reduced his daily anchoring schedule to only the weeknight 6 p.m. newscast and announced his retirement at the end of his contract in 2007. Clark's final broadcast aired on May 23, 2007. The station ran a number of on-air tributes in the days leading up to Clark's departure. He signed off with a tribute to his co-workers and friends and gave his closing line a final time: "I'll see you then...", which was the closing line he used at the end of each teaser. Rhori Johnston, the co-anchor on the weeknight 5 and 10 p.m. broadcasts, succeeded Clark at 6 p.m. Before arriving at WLAC/WTVF, Clark, a graduate of the University of Georgia, worked for stations in his native Georgia in Atlanta and Albany. While at Albany's WALB-TV, Clark interviewed civil rights movement leader Martin Luther King Jr.

In 1998, WTVF-TV hired investigative reporter Phil Williams, who had previously been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize while working at The Tennessean and a recipient of the George Foster Peabody Award while working for WKRN-TV. As a result, WTVF created one of the country's most highly acclaimed investigative units, which it branded as its NewsChannel 5 Investigates team. As the team expanded, Williams assumed the title of chief investigative reporter. in 2001, Williams and photojournalist Bryan Staples received the prestigious IRE Medal for an investigation of police corruption that resulted in threats against Williams and his family. Williams and the NewsChannel 5 Investigates team also exposed questionable contracting by the administration of then-Gov. Don Sundquist, receiving a Peabody Award, a duPont-Columbia University Award and a George Polk Award.

The team won its second duPont Award in 2010 for an investigation of corruption inside the Davidson County General Sessions Court system and a third duPont in 2012 for its "Policing for Profit" investigation of civil forfeiture abuses. In addition, the team (including Williams and investigative reporter Ben Hall) received a 2013 Peabody Award for its "Questions of Influence" investigation of shady deals by Gov. Bill Haslam's administration. The continuing "Policing for Profit" investigation later received the 2015 Hillman Prize for Broadcast Journalism.

Subchannels
The station's signal is multiplexed: {{legend|#DFEBF6|Broadcast on behalf of another station}}

Analog-to-digital conversion
WTVF signed on its digital signal on November 15, 2001. The station shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 5, on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 56, which was among the high band UHF channels (52–69) that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition, to its analog-era VHF channel 5.

After the transition occurred, some viewers in the immediate Nashville area were having reception problems of the VHF digital channel. On July 6, 2009, the station filed an application to operate a low-powered digital translator on UHF channel 50, broadcasting at 100 kW, to serve viewers that could not receive the VHF signal. The original application to operate this translator has yet to be granted but STAs have been approved. On July 31, 2009, WTVF began simulcasting on its digital subchannels the over-the-air relaunch of "NewsChannel 5+" (originally a cable-only channel) on 5.2 and the addition of classic movie network, This TV on 5.3.

On September 7, 2012, WTVF relocated its main digital signal to UHF channel 25 and shut down its UHF fill-in translator on channel 50. The VHF channel 5 was converted to a fill-in translator to serve the far fringes of the station's viewing area.

Spectrum incentive auction results
Due to the station's participation in the FCC's 2016–17 spectrum incentive auction, WTVF filed for a construction permit to relocate its digital allocation to UHF channel 36. As a result, on October 18, 2019, WTVF moved to its new frequency due to spectrum repacking. Ion Television O&O station WNPX-TV, which previously broadcast its digital signal on UHF channel 36, moved its digital signal to UHF channel 32 on the same day.

Out-of-market coverage
Viewers residing in several areas outside of the Nashville media market can view WTVF, depending on the cable provider and location. Carriage of the station's signal on cable systems outside the Nashville market is subject to Syndication exclusivity, or SyndEx, where the local CBS affiliate's feed substitutes that of WTVF when network and/or syndicated programming is shown on both stations at the same time.

Southern Kentucky
WTVF is a significantly viewed station in the Bowling Green, Kentucky, TV market, owing to its transmitter being located on the north side of Nashville. As a result, its signal was strong enough to be received in most of that area. For its first 52 years on the air, WTVF had a decades-long monopoly in providing CBS programming to certain counties in south-central Kentucky as that area was originally part of the Nashville market until Arbitron collapsed Bowling Green into its own market area in 1977 as a result of the growth and success by that city's ABC affiliate WBKO. Even after Nielsen also assigned Bowling Green its own market area in 1985, CBS was still not available from a local outlet in that area. This changed on February 1, 2007, when NBC affiliate WNKY launched a new second digital subchannel to serve as that area's own CBS affiliate. In spite of the existence of WNKY-DT2, WTVF remains available on several cable systems in the Bowling Green market. Mediacom cable systems currently carry the station's main channel in the Morgantown (Butler County) and Brownsville (Edmonson County) areas. WTVF also remains available on Charter Spectrum in Bowling Green, along with the on-campus cable system WesternCable at Western Kentucky University, as well as the Glasgow-based cable system of the South Central Rural Telephone Cooperative, which services much of the eastern half of the Bowling Green market. The SCRTC in Glasgow also has been piping in WLKY, the CBS/MeTV affiliate in Louisville, as a secondary option since 1990, along with that city's previous CBS affiliate WHAS-TV, which served as such for its first 40 years on the air. Many areas of the Bowling Green market can still pick up WTVF via an outdoor antenna; some users of indoor antennas in southern Kentucky, and the far reaches of the station's coverage area can also pick up the signal thanks to the station's 2013 digital signal upgrade.

The Glasgow Electric Plant Board also carried WTVF and WSMV as distant CBS and NBC affiliates, respectively. That provider dropped WTVF, WSMV and their associated subchannels from their lineup in late 2017 as WNKY and WNKY-DT2 claimed market exclusivity in terms of NBC and CBS affiliates on that system.

In 1968, the station, as WLAC-TV, once applied to set up a low-power translator station on the campus of Western Kentucky University for improved reception within Bowling Green city limits; this plan may have never come to fruition.

Western Kentucky
Mediacom carries the station's main channel on their systems in Caldwell and Crittenden counties, including the communities of Princeton and Marion, both of which are in the Paducah, Kentucky–Cape Girardeau, Missouri–Harrisburg, Illinois media market. The station is also carried on Murray Electric System cable in the Murray area of Calloway County, which is also in the Paducah market. WK&T Telecom also makes WTVF available to its Calloway County customers. WTVF is also carried on cable systems in Muhlenberg and Hopkins counties, which are in the Evansville, Indiana, market.

Other areas of Tennessee
WTVF is carried on several cable systems in other areas outside of the Nashville market and within the state of Tennessee. In Jackson, Tennessee, WTVF is currently the only Nashville-based station that is carried on Jackson Energy Authority's E-Plus Broadband cable service. Other systems in the Jackson market carry the station, including WK&T Telecom's customers (under the Flite label) in the Trenton area of Gibson County, as well as two of the three northwest Tennessee counties within the Paducah market, Weakley and Obion, including the Martin–Dresden and Union City–South Fulton areas, respectively.

The station is also available on cable in the Fayetteville area of Lincoln County, the only Middle Tennessee county that is assigned to the Huntsville, Alabama, media market. WTVF's main channel is also carried on cable systems in Fentress County (Jamestown), as well as on Spirit Broadband Cable channel 5 for that provider's customers in Cumberland County, Tennessee (including Crossville and Fairfield Glade), both areas of which are in the two Central Time Zone counties of the Knoxville media market.

Northern Alabama
From 1957 until the 1980s, WTVF, along with WSMV, WKRN, and later WZTV, were all carried on cable systems in northern Alabama, including the Huntsville, Florence and Decatur areas. As new national cable channels launched they were gradually dropped from those systems throughout the 1980s.

XXXIX Panzer Corps

The XXXIX Panzer Corps (XXXIX. Panzerkorps, also previously designated the XXXIX. Armeekorps (mot)) was a German panzer corps which saw action on the Western and Eastern Fronts during World War II.

Operational history
The Corps whose home station was formed (as the XXXIX Army Corps) in 1940 for the German invasion of France, in which it was part of Group Guderian, the 2nd and 1st Armies. In June 1941 the Corps was assigned to Army Group Centre for Operation Barbarossa, Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union. It initially attacked towards Vilnius and then took part in the first Battle of Minsk. By August, it was assigned to Army Group North for the attack on Leningrad.

In 9 July 1942 the Corps was reorganised as the XXXIX Panzer Corps. It was shifted to the Rzhev salient, under the 9th Army of Army Group Centre, where it was involved in Battle of Rzhev in the summer of 1942. Army Group Centre evacuated the Rzhev salient early in 1943. During the autumn, the Corps took part in the defence against Operation Suvorov, withdrawing to positions east of Mogilev.

During June 1944 the XXXIX Panzer Corps took part in the defence against the Soviet summer offensive, Operation Bagration; covering the strategically important highway through Mogilev, it was one of the strongest corps in the Army Group at the time, with four high-quality divisions. Soviet breakthroughs to the north and south saw the Corps threatened with encirclement within a matter of days, while the 12th Infantry Division was encircled in Mogilev and destroyed. The corps commander, General Robert Martinek was killed on 28 June and his replacement Otto Schünemann, was killed the following day. The Corps disintegrated at the Berezina River crossings as its columns attempted to cross the river under heavy air attack; nearly all its units were destroyed by the 2nd Belorussian Front in the subsequent encirclement east of Minsk. The commanders of the 110th, 12th, 31st and Feldherrnhalle Divisions, Kurowski, Bamler, Ochsner, and Steinkeller respectively, were all captured.

The Corps was reformed by redesignating Gruppe von Saucken, composed of ad hoc battle groups along with the 5th Panzer Division and commanded by Dietrich von Saucken. Renamed XXXIX Panzer Corps, it fought for the control of Minsk and then retreated in the face of the subsequent stages of the Soviet strategic offensive through Belarus, Poland and Lithuania, being pushed back into the Courland Pocket. During this period, the rebuilt Corps was reinforced with the 4th and 12th Panzer Divisions as well as the Panzergrenadier Division Großdeutschland, taking part in Operation Doppelkopf. Late in the year it was redeployed to East Prussia before being reorganised and withdrawn for use in the Ardennes Offensive. It was assigned to Hasso von Manteuffel's 5th Panzer Army.

After the defeat of the Ardennes offensive in the Battle of the Bulge, the Corps was redeployed against the Soviet offensives in Pomerania as part of the newly organised 11th SS Panzer Army, Army Group Vistula. It was employed in Operation Solstice, the failed counter-offensive at Stargard against the spearheads of the 1st Belorussian Front. On 27 March the Corps was thrown into a disastrous counter-attack to relieve the fortress of Küstrin, and was almost entirely destroyed.

Tremadocian

The Tremadocian is the lowest stage of Ordovician. Together with the later Floian Stage it forms the Lower Ordovician Epoch. The Tremadocian lasted from to  million years ago. The base of the Tremadocian is defined as the first appearance of the conodont species Iapetognathus fluctivagus at the Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) section on Newfoundland.

Naming
The Tremadocian is named after the village Tremadoc in Wales. The name was proposed by Adam Sedgwick in 1846 (as "Tremadoc group").

GSSP
The GSSP for the beginning of the Tremadocian is the Green Point section (49.6829°N, -57.9653°W) in Gros Morne National Park, in western Newfoundland. It is defined as the first appearance of the conodont species Iapetognathus fluctivagus. This horizon can be found 101.8 m above the Greenpoint section datum within bed number 23. The boundary lies within the Broom Point Member, of the Green Point Formation which is part of the Cow Head Group. The first planktonic graptolites appear 4.8 m above the first appearance of Iapetognathus fluctivagus at Greenpoint section.

The Tremadocian ends with the beginning of the Floian which is defined as the first appearance of Tetragraptus approximatus at the GSSP in Diabasbrottet quarry, Västergötland, Sweden.

In 2015, the Lawson Cove section in Millard County, Utah, was proposed as an Auxiliary boundary Stratotype Section and Point (ASSP) for the Tremadocian stage and Ordovician system. In addition to the first appearance datum of I. fluctivagus, fossils of olenid trilobite Jujuyaspis and planktonic graptolite Anisograptus matanensis are present in a nearby section. In 2017, the Xiaoyangqiao section near the Dayangcha Village, North China, was proposed as the second ASSP for the base of Tremadocian/Lower Ordovician. The first planktonic graptolites can be found right below the Cordylodus lindstromi Conodont Zone in this section. Both ASSPs were approved through supermajority vote by the Subcommission on Ordovician Stratigraphy in 2016 and 2019, respectively. However, in 2021, the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) proposed to deny the use of specific points and replace them by Standard Auxiliary Boundary Stratotypes (SABS) for more "flexible" correlations with GSSPs.

Regional stages
In North America the first stage of the Ordovician is the Gasconadian Stage. In the Baltic region, the stages corresponding to Tremadocian are the Pakerort stage (lower) and the Varangu stage (upper).

Major events
The Cambrian-Tremadocian boundary is marked by the Cambrian-Ordovician extinction event. Overall the amount of biodiversity of the Cambrian was maintained. At the beginning of the Tremadocian, about 485.4 million years ago, biodiversity, which had been at a low level, began its long increase phase, known as the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event.

At the Furongian‒Tremadocian boundary, a mantle plume event occurred on the territory of the northwestern Gondwana, which is now the Iberian Peninsula. Ollo de Sapo magmatic event continued in this region further into Ordovician.

Several global events are observed in sediments of the Tremadocian age: the Acerocare Regressive Event, Black Mountain Transgressive Event (both in the Early Tremadocian), Peltocare Regressive Event, Kelly Creek Regressive Event, and Ceratopyge Regressive Event (the last two in the Late Tremadocian). Lithological features of the Black Mountain event are observed in Australia and Gorny Altai, Russia. The Ceratopyge Regressive Event records in Baltica at the end of the Apatokephalus serratus zone. Above the disappearance of Ceratopyge fauna, sediments are presented in a more depleted form due to the decreased sea level in the Late Tremadocian.

The middle of the Tremadocian witnessed an extinction event known as the Mid-Tremadocian Extinction Event or the Base Stairsian Mass Extinction Event, which is particularly known to have affected Baltican conodonts. This extinction event may have been caused by anoxia.

Tremadocian life
Planktonic graptolites, an important index fossil, appear during the Tremadocian. Tremadocian cephalopods were not very different from their Cambrian predecessors. Specimens of Ellesmeroceras and possibly Bassleroceras, found in Santa Rosita Formation, northwestern Argentina, show that cephalopods first migrated to the waters off western Gondwana already in the early Tremadocian. In the middle Tremadocian, cephalopods became more diverse and occupied new ecological niches. During Tremadocian there was an exchange of fauna between Avalonia and Gondwana across the Rheic Ocean, as evidenced by the findings of morphologically similar trilobites of the genus Platypeltoides in Belgium, Wales (both were parts of Avalonia) and Morocco (Gondwana).

Ocean and climate
The Early Ordovician in general was a time of transgression. The climate was slowly cooling throughout the Ordovician.

Talk:Lady Katherine Grey

Untitled
I believe she was not universally always known as Lady, and I believe she is recognizable without it. Therefore "Lady" shuld not be included in the article title (as the requirement for such inclusion is: person if universally recognised with it and their name is unrecognisable without it). It seems to me that recently, there has been sort of campaign by some users to put titulary into headings, without any solid support from naming conventions, and this here apparently is a part of such campaign. 217.140.193.123 02:34, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Dear Arrigo (and please remember to sign your name on all comments) I moved the page in accordance with naming conventions, which were discussed at length and agreed before you arrived on this project. You will note that the pages for her sisters, Lady Jane Grey and Lady Mary Grey, are similarly named, and the previous name of the article was inconsistent. Deb 21:57, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Firstly, I signed using four tildes. Your further demands (if exist) for signature are unfounded, and only make you appear worse.

I have read the agreed naming conventions, which clearly state that "lady" is included "if person is universally recognised with it and their name is unrecognisable without it". It is not very far to think that you Deb actually do not understand very much of the convention. And we others do not need to follow your ideas nor your "own" conventions, whatever such are.

It might be that Jane Grey and Mary Grey are in wrong location. Certainly, their locations are no argument here - sisters are not always known similarly.

Your tone in the comment reminds me of the thought of "the troll who got there first". 217.140.193.123 23:28, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Name in published primaries
Thomas Randolph's letter 23 September 1560 refers 'the Lady Catherine, daughter to the late Duchess of Suffolk (CSP Scot., i, 483), CSPF Elizabeth (1559-60), 3, has 'L. K' ! Irrelevant to this discussion, Lady Catherine or Lady Katherine / +/- Grey, all that matters is that the person is uniquely designated in their article title, as we can all set links in other articles as we prefer. Unoquha (talk) 19:40, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Return
I think the earlier renaming was without any voting. Consistency is no reason if those other articles are in wrong places, and they may. We do not need to be "consistently wrong". Arrigo 12:55, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I have reverted this change. Deb 16:21, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Background of the case: the naming convention 6 for other non-royal names states "Courtesy titles (also referred to as an honorific prefix)² such as Lord or Lady differ from full titles because unlike full titles they are included as part of the personal name, often from birth. As such, they should be included in the article title if a person is universally recognised with it and their name is unrecognisable without it. For example, the late nineteenth century British politician Lord Frederick Cavendish was always known by that form of name, never simply Frederick Cavendish. Using the latter form would produce a name that would be unrecognisable to anyone searching for a page on Cavendish. Similarly, Lady Gregory, the Irish playwright, is more recognisable to readers than Augusta Gregory."

 * You seem to feel you are some kind of arbiter here. You are not, and no one owes you an explanation.  If you want facts, go and look at google.  In the meantime, please remember to sign your posts. Deb 11:40, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Not sure if it merits any link on this article but I just finished transcribing a manuscript that aparently belonged to Lady Catherine Grey (named in the document as "Countess Katherine Seymour Hertford").

The manuscript is listed as University of Pennsylvania Ms. Codex 823. --Doc 16:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * It's very interesting. I agree, it's difficult to know whether a link is merited - I would say it depends whether how many other MSS are in existence that are known to belong to her.  Presumably none? Deb 17:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup?
I've removed the cleanup tag that was placed, pending someone explaining what kind of cleanup they believe is required. Deb 16:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * You're absolutely right, I should have been more specific. I have added a more specific tag, believing that this article needs sections.Lilac Soul 17:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Lady Jane Grey
Jane was the sister of Catherine Grey and is famous for being the nine days queen, but her title as monarch is disputed, she was never crowned. I don't think this article should refer to her as Jane I of England, but Lady Jane Grey. Moerover, in the article about Jane Grey, she is refered to, in the title, as Lady Jane Grey.

Image
The new image is much better than the previous one.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:56, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Most beautiful?
Judging by the image, I would say "least ugly" was nearer the mark :-) Deb (talk) 20:38, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Which image? The one of her holding her son shows her to have been rather doll-like in appearance.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:18, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * That's true. I was only looking at the miniature. Deb (talk) 11:43, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Frances Grey
Why is Catherine's mother referred to as Lady Frances Brandon? In her mother's article, she is referred to as Frances Grey, Duchess of Suffolk. To refer to her by her maiden name is confusing, inconsistent with her own article, and conflicts with methods of title usage elsewhere in Wikipedia. PandaPounce (talk) 01:23, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I've edited the sentence to say "by his marriage to Lady Frances Brandon", which is the name she's best known by and which I hope covers your point. Of course, important 16th century women are often known by their maiden names - Lady Jane Grey and Lady Catherine Grey are cases in point. Moonraker (talk) 02:46, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Not Listing Spouses
What is the problem with listing spouses? After adding Anne Parr, wife of William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke, this happens -- (Undid revision 476413108 by Lady Meg (talk); we don't list any other spouses either; it's not done in the sources); Why? What does "it's not done in the sources" mean?? -- Lady Meg (talk) 23:35, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Succession box
Hi! I removed the box, sorry for forgetting to sign in. Being unable to sign for months in has had its effect. Anyway, I removed it because it was wrong: Lady Catherine Grey was never "Heir to the English and Irish Thrones". The heir to the throne is the person seated on the throne. The first-in-line is either heir apparent or heir presumptive but not "the heir". Furthermore, it can be said that Lady Catherine Grey was "preceded" by her sister but it can also be said that she was preceded by Lady Mary Tudor. Likewise, it can be said that she was succeeded by Lady Elizabeth Tudor, Lady Mary Grey or Viscount Beauchamp. Even if all this were not true, I still find "heir presumptive/apparent" succession boxes quite pointless, trivial and unsightly. What purpose do they serve? They soon multiply and before you know it, you see succession boxes such as "heir to the throne of Flanders", "spouse of the heir to the English throne", etc. What do you think, Jeanne? Surtsicna (talk) 23:05, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Support removing these boxes. (Lady Catherine Grey as heir apparent would have been "preceded" by her sister, as there was a document, the letters patent of 21 June 1553, which named both, in this order). Buchraeumer (talk) 23:38, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Whatever the merits of who was heir at this point, Surtsicna is using "heir" in a different sense to that now recognised. I think we've been over this before. PatGallacher (talk) 23:53, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Succession boxes do provide a reader with rapid information regarding his or her title as well as successor, etc. I for one find them helpful.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:20, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree, but I also agree that, where used for heirs, they should be restricted to "official" heirs. Deb (talk) 18:50, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Burial
Surely Catherine Grey is buried at Salisbury Cathedral, along with her husband. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.52.86.208 (talk) 10:01, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
 * She is now. I'll fix that. Deb (talk) 13:05, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Portraiture
This article appears not to have been monitored for some years now, but I am nonetheless going to make a suggestion that someone consider adding a section on portraiture. The iconography of Katherine Grey is itself an interesting topic. It begins with the miniature of circa 1562 now in the collection of the Dukes of Rutland at Belvoir Castle, and includes several full-sized paintings later adapted from the miniature. The variations in the content of those full sized paintings and the meaning of those variations have been analyzed in an academic article by Martin Spies: "The Portrait of Lady Katherine Grey and her Son: Iconographic Medievalism as a Legitimation Strategy" in Early Modern Medievalisms: The Interplay Between Scholarly Reflection and Artistic Production, edited by Alicia Montoya et al (Brill, 2010). There has also been a suggestion that certain portraits sometimes identified as depictions of either Elizabeth when a Princess or Lady Jane Grey may in fact depict Katherine Grey Seymour circa 1560-65. See J. Stephan Edwards, A Queen of a New Invention: Portraits of Lady Jane Grey Dudley, England's Nine Days Queen (Old John Publishing, 2015).2605:E000:FFC0:3B:1197:2EDC:F482:BF3C (talk) 03:24, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Spelling of name
This article spells the subjects forename with a C: "Catherine." I am not entirely sure why this is the case. It seems to be the result of a pervasive modern convention to respell pre-modern names using modern spelling preferences. The problem is most effectively illustrated through the sixth wife of Henry VIII, whose name is likewise spelled today as either Katherine or Catherine Parr. In fact, Parr herself consistently spelled her own name Kateryn. But modern writers seem to ignore the preferences of the individual and instead to impose their own modern sensibility in a most disrespectful manner. Virtually all contemporary sources spelled Grey's name with a K, not a C. This includes all official documents generated by the Tudor government (see UK National Archives, search keyword "Katherine Grey" for period 1500-1599). As someone whose own name has an unconventional spelling, I feel the need to speak up for Lady Katherine Grey Seymour. Her name should correctly be spelled with a K (Katherine), regardless of the spelling preferences of modern writers and authors.2605:E000:FFC0:3B:1197:2EDC:F482:BF3C (talk) 03:37, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Guy Bertrand (lawyer)

Guy Bertrand is a lawyer operating in Quebec City. He is a founding member of the Parti Québécois and ran in the PQ leadership election of 1985. He had been a Quebec sovereigntist of the pur et dur stream for most of his public life, before shifting to the opposite Quebec federalist ideology during the 1990s. He converted back to sovereigntism during the 2000s. He is also the author of Enough is enough! (translation of the French Plaidoyer pour les citoyens 'Representing citizens'), where he criticizes the destructive and dishonest tactics of the Quebec separatist movement, but indicates continued support for their ideals.

He defended Léon Mugesera, well publicized anti-Tutsi speaker of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, and faced accusations from the Barreau du Québec for remarks he made during the Mugasera trial. He accused the Canadian government and the Supreme Court of Canada of giving in to pressure from Jewish organizations, which he claimed wanted Mugasera deported.

In 2006 Bertrand made a case for Quebec to have its own team in the upcoming 2008 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships being held partly in Quebec City. However, Quebec is not a member of the IIHF and even if admitted, would need to work their way up to the "A" Pool of the World Championship from the lowest division. The idea has also not garnered much support among Quebec hockey stars. Top forward Vincent Lecavalier has publicly opposed the idea.

In October 2007, Bertrand told a provincial commission on reasonable accommodation for cultural minorities that French is threatened by language accommodations. He also claimed that English and multiculturalism in Montreal are undermining French, and that newcomers must acculturate into the majority. Commission co-chairman Charles Taylor reminded Bertrand the commission is about religious accommodations for minorities and not linguistic ones.

Bertrand criticized Montreal Canadiens captain Saku Koivu for not being able to speak French, despite having lived in Quebec for quite some time. Bertrand said it "demonstrates contempt for it".

In 2014, three years after having launched his work Liberté-Nation Bertrand recidivated with a documentary in which he proposes his "business plan" to realize the independence of Quebec. Bertrand, who believes that the initiative of independence must come from the regions, proposes the creation of a federal republic of Quebec in which the 17 regions would exercise the status of autonomous states, but united.

Bertrand believes that such a structure would allow making the Québécois 'nation' a free, modern and prosperous one.

Kojin Karatani

Kōjin Karatani (柄谷 行人) is a Japanese philosopher and literary critic.

Biography
Karatani entered the University of Tokyo in 1960, where he joined the radical Marxist Communist League, better known as "The Bund," and participated in the massive 1960 Anpo protests against the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty, which he would later come to view as a formative political experience.

Karatani graduated with a B.A. in economics in 1965, and added an M.A. in English literature in 1967. The Gunzō Literary Prize, which he received at the age of 27 for an essay on Natsume Sōseki, was his first critical acclaim as a literary critic. While teaching at Hosei University, Tokyo, he wrote extensively about modernity and postmodernity with a particular focus on language, number, and money, concepts that form the subtitle of one of his central books: Architecture as Metaphor.

In 1975, he was invited to Yale University to teach Japanese literature as a visiting professor, where he met Paul de Man and Fredric Jameson and began to work on formalism. He started from a study of Natsume Sōseki.

Karatani collaborated with novelist Kenji Nakagami, to whom he introduced the works of Faulkner. With Nakagami, he published Kobayashi Hideo o koete (Overcoming Kobayashi Hideo). The title is an ironic reference to “Kindai no chokoku” (Overcoming Modernity), a symposium held in the summer of 1942 at Kyoto Imperial University (now Kyoto University) at which Hideo Kobayashi (whom Karatani and Nakagami did not hold in great esteem) was a participant.

He was also a regular member of ANY, the international architects' conference that was held annually for the last decade of the 20th century and that also published an architectural/philosophical series with Rizzoli under the general heading of Anyone.

Since 1990, Karatani has been regularly teaching at Columbia University as a visiting professor.

Karatani founded the New Associationist Movement (NAM) in Japan in the summer of 2000. NAM was conceived as a counter–capitalist/nation-state association, inspired by the experiment of LETS (Local Exchange Trading Systems, based on non-marketed currency). He was also the co-editor, with Akira Asada, of the Japanese quarterly journal Hihyōkūkan (Critical Space), until it ended in 2002.

In 2006, Karatani retired from the chair of the International Center for Human Sciences at Kinki University, Osaka, where he had been teaching.

In 2022, Karatani was awarded the $1 million Berggruen Prize for Culture and Philosophy.

Philosophy
Karatani has produced philosophical concepts, such as "the will to architecture", which he calls the foundation of all Western thinking, but the best-known of them is probably that of "Transcritique", which he proposed in his book Transcritique, where he reads Kant through Marx and vice versa. Writing about Transcritique in the New Left Review of January–February 2004, Slavoj Žižek brought Karatani's work to greater critical attention. Žižek borrowed the concept of "parallax view" (which is also the title of his review) for the title of his own book.

Karatani has interrogated the possibility of a (de Manian) deconstruction and engaged in a dialogue with Jacques Derrida at the Second International Conference on Humanistic Discourse, organized by the Université de Montréal. Derrida commented on Karatani's paper "Nationalism and Ecriture" with an emphasis on the interpretation of his own concept of écriture.

I had zapped it as soon as I saw it: it's called a speedy deletion, per policy WP:CSD, criterion G4 (reposted material). Howvever, IJJ above convinced me to undelete and it and open one more discussion, since two years had passed and since there was continued interest in the subject - from you. :) There's now a discussion on which you already commented. Based on what happens there it'll be either deleted once more, or retained. Finally, I am sorry your first article landed in the thick of all this procedural BS - it is bad luck. Your next article should hopefully have a brighter future. Cheers. - CrazyRussian talk/email 01:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sources are everything. Go add another comment to the deletion discussion page (don't vote twice though) with as many links giving as much info that indicates this is a real established thing - CrazyRussian talk/email 01:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I should add here that I wasn't aware of the fact that it had been reposted a couple of times. I'm sure you weren't either! It's a pity those don't show up in the editing history. From this point of view, CrazyRussian acted properly. However, it's obvious that your article is not just a repost of deleted material. Therefore, and also because two years have passed since the discussion that led to its deletion, I think a new discussion is warranted. Let me add that I'm not yet convinced of the language's notability myself. I'd be grateful for some neutral references to the language (Google is not very helpful in this case).

History of Science WikiProject
Doubleg, you might be interested in WikiProject History of Science. Despite the name, it coordinates all kinds of STS work (and history of medicine as well). What STS topics are you interested in/knowledgeable about?

Regarding your suggestion about the portal, it is organized the way it is for several related reasons. First, no one has created an STS portal. In part, this is because STS is primarily an academic discipline, rather than a coherent collection of encyclopedic topics. If such a portal existed, its subject would probably be the discipline itself; for readers unfamiliar with the discipline, the name would not make sense if it was simply a combined portal for all the different philosophical, historical, and sociological topics related to science and technology that it might include. History of science is a discipline as well (and arguably a subfield of STS), but it is also a (relatively) well-defined historical topic, and the latter is primarily the subject of the portal.--ragesoss 15:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

WTF

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REST OF THE ARTICLE? A BRIEF INTRO, AND THEN SOME CRAP ABOUT THE BAND?????? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.119.92.198 (talk) 04:15, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Discipline
Strict discipline — up to and including corporal punishment — prevails, a fact well known throughout Staten Island.
 * Not that I've ever heard. Took it out. --User:Jenmoa 02:37, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

I go there there is no corpral punishment--72.89.80.135 (talk) 04:37, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

I went there starting in 1989 and there was no corporal punishment at that time. I would expect such punishment more likely then than now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.192.232.51 (talk) 18:32, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Best high schools in the country?
That line seems pretty biased.

-Bizznot 02:15, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

The whole article seems pretty biased. It reads like the pamphlet they give out to 8th graders instead of being encyclopedic. 68.238.225.127 12:06, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Did you read the article? US News and World Report reported it as one of the 100 best schools in the country. The NY Daily News states it is one of the best schools in NY. So it is notable and the article is just stating what 2 reputable sources are claiming. Callelinea 13:46, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

And I'll remove the one citiation needed.68.238.225.127 17:37, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did read the article, and you should check the history. I did not add the notice about deletion. I did find the original article about it being a super school. First off the article is 8 years old now. But still a quick search of the schools that did have the article don't have it mentioned so promintely. Not only that but if you did check the Farrell website it reads almost exactly like the opening here. Here's the link http://www.usnews.com/usnews/culture/articles/990118/archive_000090_4.htm

thats weird they didnt give me a pamphlet --72.89.80.135 (talk) 04:36, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Jim Albus
How is it possible that Jim Albus, born 1940, attended a high school established in 1961? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.192.232.51 (talk) 18:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Who was Monsignior Farrell?
On almost every Catholic high school website on Staten Island, I never see any information about the school's namesake. Who was Countess Moore? Who was Monsignior Farrell? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.250.243.68 (talk) 17:03, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Admissions Statistics
The admission stats don't add up. It's claimed the 200-250 students are accepted each year, but current enrollment is 1,200. That means an average of 300 students are accepted each year. And that assumes that all students accepted choose to attend. The admission rate has to be higher to support the current enrollment figure. Either the enrollment figure needs to be corrected, or there needs to be additional evidence that there are only 200-250 students accepted each year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.154.18 (talk) 23:43, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

"Actor who starred in 'The Graduate' in 2002" when The Graduate came out in 1967...??
How is this possible? The person this is attributed to, John Lavelle, wasn't even born until 1981. I'm sorry, I didn't realize someone who won't be born for another 14 years can star in a movie.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.19.36.24 (talk) 00:38, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: as you have not cited reliable sources to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article. - Arjayay (talk) 10:50, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
 * And we have no articles about these individual people. The people are the alumni, but the group is all that appears notable (to wikipedia standards) at this time. So neither the group nor the people are "notable alumni". DMacks (talk) 16:30, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Alumni: The Tenderloins and Impractical Jokers
The comedy troupe may be notable, and the show may be notable, but neither the troupe nor the show can be considered an alumnus. The individuals who are in the troupe and the show may have attended the school, but they are not considered notable alumni simply because they are in The Tenderloins and in Impractical Jokers. Each member must be individually notable (generally shown by having a reliably sourced individual wikiarticle) and have a reliable source showing that he attended the school before he can be added to the alumni list. Meters (talk) 02:28, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
 * , In a list of notable alumni, most of the entries will be individual alumni, but there is no policy that prohibits groups of alumni. I've seen dozens of entries -- mostly for musical groups -- that were formed at a particular high school, college or university that is listed under notable alumni. See The Shirelles at Passaic High School or Blues Traveler at Princeton High School as just a handful of examples that I can easily pull off the top of my head, and I have added neither of these entries which have been in these articles for years. The Tenderloins were formed at the school, all are alumni of the school and their attendance is backed by strong reliable sourcing.Given the evidence of group entries in lists of alumni in other articles, it would appear that the burden of proof is on you to provide evidence based on Wikipedia policy that such entries must be deleted. Alansohn (talk) 04:24, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Whether something is done in other articles is not the point. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. I could just as easily go to those articles you list above and remove the entries, citing the removal from this article as justification. I have seen such groups removed from many school articles' alumni lists. We edit by consensus. The consensus on this article is clear (note the multiple removals of this entry form the alumni list, the protection of the article because of this issue, and the response to the above semi-ptoected edit request on this issue.)
 * On the issue as a whole, alumni are people. A musical group, or a theatre troupe, or a sports team, or any other group of students from the school is not an alumnus. Alumni lists are for individuals, and each individual listed must be individually notable.
 * Your repeated claim that this is a WP:PRESERVE issue  is incorrect. The entry is being removed because the entity simply does not meet the list's inclusion criteria of being a notable alumnus. That's not something that can be fixed, and thus WP:PRESERVE cannot apply. The group was removed because it is not an alumnus, and if the individual members were removed in prior edits (I can't remember if it that has happened in this article but it certainly has in other articles) they were removed because they have not been shown to be notable. Per WP:ALUMNI all entries must be notable. Per WP:NOTINHERITED being a member of a notable group is not sufficient to show that that individual is notable. Normally notability for list inclusion purposes is shown by having a wikiarticle, and a redirect to a group article does not cut it.
 * I will link to this thread from the Schools Project page so other interested editors will see this. Meters (talk) 05:19, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * By WP:LISTBIO, they should not individually be listed unless they are individually notable. One obvious test is that none appear to have their own WP article (merely redirects to the group or TV program). By WP:NOTINHERITED, being a member of a notable group or involved with something else notable is not sufficient for individual notability. If it sounds like I'm just parrotting Meters, that's because we are both just parrotting the linked policies/guidelines. According to the group's aricle, the group was founded in 2000 and involves people who were born in 1976. It says they went to high school together, but it does not say that the group formed as such while they were in high school, and their age of ~24 at founding makes it unlikely they would be. Therefore, "the group" does not have any cited or obvious connection to the school, so it shouldn't be listed either. This is actually in contrast to The Shirelles case, since their formation actually is related to the school (not even just by chronological coincidence). DMacks (talk) 05:33, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Your narrow interpretation that "Notable alumni" can only mean a list of individuals is your own idiosyncratic bias, entirely unsupported by any shred of policy. Of course, you can threaten to take your edit war elsewhere, but you'd just be imposing your baseless stance and disrupting longstanding consensus in these other articles."Notable alumni" means people who have attended the school, with no restriction on groups. WP:ALUMNI is an interesting essay, but even that doesn't take a stance one way or another. WP:LISTBIO simply takes no stance that prohibits a group.The group is notable, you can't possibly deny that. The members of the group all attended the school, graduating together in the same year and that information is backed by reliable and verifiable sources. They haven't "inherited" anything, as they are notable as a group of alumni of the school. All you've done is stamped your feet and insist that WP:IDONTLIKEIT based on a specious misinterpretation of an essay. By contrast, WP:PRESERVE is policy and it says that encyclopedic content should be preserved in the article, where it belongs, while your sole stance is that it must be deleted. If you want to make a policy-based argument, you've got to find a policy that supports the claim. An essay is worthless for this purpose. Alansohn (talk) 05:39, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

 * I would say, if a group is restricted to alumni of a school, and if the group has a Wikipedia article, it qualifies to be listed in the "Alumni" (or "Notable alumni") of the school's Wikipedia article. -- Softlavender (talk) 06:53, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Alansohn, no one is arguing that the group is not notable. But that does not make the members of the group notable. You say '"Notable alumni" means people who have attended the school' but that's not correct. It means "notable people who have attended the school." Being a member of a notable group does not necessarily mean the members are individually notable. Meters (talk) 00:21, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Agree complete with Meters. As for Softlavender's argument, I could weakly (very weakly) see your point. However, performance groups do not generally disbanded if one member leaves. Generally, that person is replaced. Then what? Do we then remove this group from this notable list and start this kerfuffle all over again? What we have here is a notable group of non notable people that all happen to have a connection to this school. The notability of the group endures; the non-notability of its members may or may not endure. The connection to the school may or may not endure. If any of these dudes achieve individual notability, by all means add them. Until that happens, no. John from Idegon (talk) 01:24, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * If there is a notable group that reliable sources show has a very strong connection to the school (for example, formed by students, while they were at the school, and as a result of being at the school) then I can see mentioning the group in an article, but still not in the alumni section. A musical group that formed and started doing gigs as part of their school music program (and yes, I can give an example of a high school school music program where students form groups and do gigs outside of school as part of the music curriculum) probably merits mention. That still wouldn't make the members notable though. A group that was formed outside of school would be less likely to merit inclusion, and a group didn't form until after the students had graduated or left the school is not connected to the school. The group that led to this discussion falls into the latter category. The Tenderloins was formed years after the students graduated (they were about 23 or 24) and Impractical Jokers didn't start until 10 years after that. Meters (talk) 05:35, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

The Tenderloins, either as a group or bullet points for each member, should be included in the notable alumni list. Because of the points I and others have laid out above as well as the clear majority preference(based on the edit history) that they be included, I am re-adding them to the page once again based on the well cited edit a couple months ago. (PS If anyone happens to be curious/suspicious about why a brand new account is writing all this: it's because I happened to be browsing wikipedia, got to the tenderloins and then to this page and was really surprised to see them missing from the list. I was going to quickly add them before I realized that had already been done dozens of times. And now I'm here.) TonyGunk (talk) 07:30, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It been argued that each member must be individually notable (citing WP:ALUMNI) where being individually notable has been asserted to mean having their own page (citing WP:NOTINHERITED)
 * However in talking about required citations for notable alumni entries WP:ALUMNI states When alumni have their own articles in mainspace, it is not necessary for their notability to be referenced - By specifically addressing the cases where alumni do have their own article, it logically implies that there must be other cases notable alumni do not have their own articles and can still be included (as long as their notability is referenced).
 * I'm assuming the editors citing WP:NOTINHERITED are unfamiliar with the show Impractical Jokers, because it clearly does not apply in this case. WP:NOTINHERITED says four of the notability guidelines, for creative professions, books, films and music, do allow for inherited notability in certain circumstances. I can assure you this is one of those circumstances, the four alumni we are talking about here are not "merely associated" with the show, they are central to everything about it.
 * It has been argued that "the group" does not have any cited or obvious connection to the school, so it shouldn't be listed either.
 * It's superficially obvious that when four people end up creating something together, the fact that they all went to the same school at the exact same time is not likely to be a coincidence.
 * They have returned to the school multiple times in the context of their shows and even filmed segments there.
 * It has been asserted that there is consensus that they do not belong in the notable alumni list. The consensus on this article is clear (note the multiple removals of this entry form the alumni list, the protection of the article because of this issue, and the response to the above semi-ptoected edit request on this issue.)
 * There is nothing even close to consensus for the position that they do not belong. In fact looking at the edit history it's clear that it's closer to a consensus that they do belong. As far as I can tell they were part of the page for years with no issue until January 2016 when they were removed by one of the editors in this discussion. Ever since then the Tenderloin members have been good faith re-added over and over again by different editors each time, only to be quickly removed by one of the three or so editors who clearly feel strongly that they do not belong. Three editors do not constitute a consensus just because they are the most vocal and persistent.
 * Thank you for joining us. There's no deadline on getting content done, and this specific issue is long-running, involving many editors on multiple talkpages and policies/guidelines, and is obviously contentious. I've undone your edit because even you yourself state that it's not a clear consensus. While you are welcome to make your own position known and agree/disagree with others' stances, I don't think you are yet experienced enough to evaluate and make a conclusion of the discussion itself. For example, discussions and consensus are not about numbers, but rely on strength of argument based on site standards. You make a statement that notability can be inherited in some cases, but that doesn't be it is in this specific case. And it's not supported strongly by WP:CREATIVE, the underlying exception you seem to be using. But instead there is no exception for WP:ENTERTAINER, which seems at least as good if not better fit for these people. See also Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Schools/Archive_24, where the discussion seems to lean against inclusion. DMacks (talk) 07:53, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Fine there is no consensus (although if it has to unanimous I cannot imagine anything happening beyond fillibustering until the other side decides they don't actually care that much about a high school notable alumni section. Believe me I'm close already). But the page has to stay one way or another while there is still no consensus. Why exactly should it stay the way you prefer? Because no one obviously finds the other sides argument compelling, otherwise it wouldn't be contentious. And my side clearly has the numbers even if they aren't posting here, which seems to have been conveniently ignored until now. If you say "because the status quo is for them to be missing" I would say "no it isn't there has been no status quo for over a year because it keeps getting readded and removed again because it's so plainly obvious to third party observers that it belongs". The last time there was a real status quo was before January 2016, and they existed on the page until then. So again, why should it stay the way you want instead of the way I and many otherswant? You know someone is going to independently come along in a week or two and add them again anyway.
 * Here's a question: if I just go add stub articles for each of them and then add them individually are you then going to start lobbying for those stubs to be deleted? I think it'd be pointless because their articles would all be very similar to the tenderloins article and it'd be annoying clicking through five or six different articles all with 90% overlap, but from a strictly theoretical perspective I'm confident they'd individually meet notability guidelines.
 * Also follow up question: Are you familiar with the show at all? Meaning seen an episode or two. I get the strong feeling you all haven't and thus don't understand why it's so plainly obvious they belong here to people who have. Someone said earlier "what if one of the group leaves and they replace him with another person not from the school?" While I can't predict the future and money makes people try anything, it'd be very surprising if they did that. The entire premise of the show (they start every episode with this line) is "four lifelong friends who compete to embarrass each other". Sticking in another comedian would probably ruin the appeal of the show. I think you all are imagining them being most analogous to some notable but minor band where who exactly the drummer is doesn't matter significantly as long as they are competent. The guys here are not interchangeable and that's not just my opinion as a fan but is backed up in their own interviews and also in critical reviews. TonyGunk (talk) 09:20, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Principal
The school's web site lists the principal as Edmund Whalen on both the principal's message https://www.msgrfarrellhs.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=319370&type=d and the Administration Department staff listing https://www.msgrfarrellhs.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=65182&type=d. If the school page is wrong then provide a reliable source. I've added a source for this to the article, and I will treat any more unsourced claims that the principal has changed as vandalism. Meters (talk) 03:18, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Detailed rationales for additional content
Sorry I tried to do more than what you could accept from quick Edit Summaries. I'm also sorry if this explanation now errs on the long side! – but let's try this one step at a time, and see if we can narrow down the disagreements over the next couple of days.

Rather than leave the article's biographical summary of Monsignor Joseph Farrell totally unreferenced, I added a citation to the best biographical sketch that I could find – written by the school, acceptable under WP:SELFPUB, and archived on an old webpage. We can append a "better source needed" tag if you like, but surely an archival school source is better than nothing. Please, I hope you don't object to this particular improvement?

Then from the same school source, plus a recent newspaper reference that was already in the article, I added a list of the school's eight Principals. Here's the relevant full paragraph (about school articles) from the WP:LISTPEOPLE standard, with my own underlining added for emphasis: "For instance, articles about schools often include (or link to) a list of notable alumni/alumnae, but such lists are not intended to contain everyone who attended the school. Editors who would like to be identified as an alumnus/alumna should instead use the categories intended for this purpose, e.g. Category:Wikipedians by alma mater. On the other hand, a list within an article of past school presidents, headmasters or headmistresses can contain the names of all the people who held this post, not just those who are independently notable."

So, for "articles about schools", naming the complete historical sequence of Principals is indeed acceptable by WP as appropriate encyclopedic content. Furthermore, Farrell High School's leadership transition from clergy to laity after 58 years is itself notable (4th sentence of the cited newspaper article), so I really think it should be acknowledged in our encyclopedia article about the school. I take your style point about generally excluding MOS:CREDENTIALS from people's names, and I'll be more alert about this in the future. Please, could you live with a brief section like this:

Principals
The following individuals have served as principal of the school, from founding to present. The first seven were senior clergy. Then after 58 years, in 2019 Lawrence Musanti became the first principal appointed from the laity, and his predecessor Edmund Whalen praised the shift as "the future of the Church".
 * 1) John J. Considine (1961–1965)
 * 2) William J. Barnes (1965–1977)
 * 3) Peter G. Finn (1977–1983)
 * 4) Thomas J. Bergin (1983–1992)
 * 5) Emmet R. Nevin (1992–2002)
 * 6) John N. Paddack (2002–2010)
 * 7) Edmund J. Whalen (2010–2019)
 * 8) Lawrence Musanti (2019– )

Next, following the "Notable alumni" section, where I certainly agree that blue-linked notability is an appropriate criterion, I'd please like to add a similar (much shorter) section for "Notable faculty" – or alternatively, broaden our existing section header to become "Notable alumni and faculty". After all, schools aren't only about their students, and many school WP articles (and schools themselves) rightly make a point of highlighting both their notable students and faculty. Any strong reason why this article should avoid any mention of the notable "Founding Father of Farrell Basketball", Warren Fenley? Would you be more comfortable with a separate "Notable faculty" section, or a broader "Notable alumni and faculty" section, or some other place in the article?

Notable faculty

 * Warren Fenley (1922–2009), basketball player for the first Boston Celtics, head coach for the first Farrell Lions

Finally, please, I hope there's nothing objectionable about my adding the long-overdue info & ref about alumnus James Oddo as Borough President, or my minor edits that corrected inconsistent formats (WP:DATEUNIFY) and expanded incomplete citations and trimmed redundant blurbs & wikilinks following the WP:DUPLINK guideline. I can itemize & explain these in smaller chunks if helpful. Did you find something controversial in these edits, or am I right in guessing that you reverted them mostly for the sake of reverting the larger edit that added the Principals?

I've never set foot in Farrell High School, and I don't know any of the people mentioned – no conflict of interest here – but clearly the article is thin on significant content, and seriously out of WP:PROPORTION for an encyclopedic summary of a notable school, and deserves better than just an infobox plus 2 unsourced boilerplate sentences and 15 alumni blurbs. I prefer to add snippets of significant info wherever it's encyclopedically appropriate, though I realize my brief Edit Summaries don't always do justice to the edits in question, and I agree that it's important to exclude nonsense. Thanks very much for your patience & consideration. —173.68.139.31 (talk) 11:30, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Don Horn

Donald Glenn Horn (born March 9, 1945) is a former American football player, a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) for eight seasons with the Green Bay Packers, Denver Broncos, Cleveland Browns, and San Diego Chargers.

Early years
Born in South Gate, California, Horn graduated from Gardena High School in Los Angeles in 1963, where he starred in football and baseball for the Mohicans.

He briefly attended Washington State University in Pullman and captained the freshman team, then played college football at Harbor Junior College in Los Angeles. Horn transferred to San Diego State College and played under head coach Don Coryell. SDSC was then in the college division of the NCAA, today's Division II, and Horn was an All-American. As a senior, he threw to future NFL receiver Haven Moses, a teammate at Harbor JC.

Green Bay Packers
Horn was a first-round selection in the 1967 NFL/AFL draft, 25th overall, taken by the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers.

He served as Bart Starr's back-up in Green Bay for four seasons, although he was in the U.S. Army in 1968 and wasn't activated until hours before the season finale in mid-December. Horn relieved injured back-up Zeke Bratkowski in the first quarter and guided the Packers to a one-point win over the Chicago Bears at Wrigley Field, which denied them the division title.

Horn's greatest game as a professional came in 1969 at Lambeau Field. Playing at home in the season finale on December 21 against the St. Louis Cardinals, he completed 22 of 31 passes for 410 yards, with five touchdown passes and one interception. He started five games in 1969, leading the Packers to a 4–1 record and throwing for 1,500 yards, 11 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Green Bay finished at 8–6, third place in the Central division, four games behind the Minnesota Vikings (12–2), who clinched the division title.

Later career
Horn was traded from the Packers to the Denver Broncos for Alden Roche on January 28, 1971 in a transaction that also included a swap of 1971 first-round picks; the Packers selected John Brockington at 9th, the Broncos Marv Montgomery at 12th. Horn started nine games (2–6–1) for a 4–9–1 Denver team in 1971, throwing 3 touchdowns against 14 interceptions. After two seasons in Denver under three head coaches, he spent a season each in Cleveland and San Diego.

Horn finished his pro career in 1975 with the Portland Thunder of the soon-defunct World Football League (WFL), where he completed 158 of 272 passes for 1742 yards and 11 TDs and 12 picks. Primarily a reserve as a professional, Horn passed for 3,369 yards and 20 touchdowns in eight NFL seasons.

After football
After his playing career ended, Horn entered the real estate business in Colorado.

During a conversation in 2008, Horn talked about the excitement he felt when he was drafted by the Green Bay Packers as their first round draft choice with a contract for $15,000 in 1967. As he stated, "that was over $1,000 a month, something today's players wouldn't even cross the street for."

Packer head coach Vince Lombardi told his players that he was aware "three or four of you are here for the money and are sorry souls." Horn responded that the opposite is true today, that only "three or four are playing now for the love of the game."

WCTE

WCTE (channel 22) is a PBS member television station in Cookeville, Tennessee, United States, serving the Upper Cumberland region. Owned by the Upper Cumberland Broadcast Council, the station originally had studios on the campus of Tennessee Technological University within the west-side stadium construction of Tucker Stadium; after an extensive relocation effort, the studios are now located on East Broad Street in downtown Cookeville, adjacent to the Putnam County courthouse. Its transmitter is located northwest of Monterey, Tennessee. Although Cookeville is part of the Nashville market, the station also serves the western fringe of the Knoxville market.

History
WCTE first signed on the air on August 21, 1978. It was the last in a series of stations launched by the Tennessee Department of Education over a 12-year period, finally bringing public television to the last remaining part of the state that previously had little or no access to it. Some of the western parts of the viewing area could pick up the signal of Nashville's WDCN (now WNPT) when it broadcast on channel 2 from 1962 to 1973, but WDCN's move to the weaker channel 8 in 1973 left most of the territory without PBS service for five years.

In 1984, the state relinquished WCTE and its other stations to community boards, such as the UCBC.

The station, like its former sister stations WLJT, WSJK (now known as WETP) and WTCI, emphasizes programming of local interest in addition to carrying a full schedule of PBS programs. The community programming is particularly important because, being a rural, relatively isolated area, the Upper Cumberland region gets little or no coverage from commercial broadcasters in Nashville or Knoxville, the two major media markets nearest the area.

For some time after the DTV transition in 2009, WCTE broadcast with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 57 kW with an antenna height of 412 meters. Then, a transmitter and antenna upgrade early in 2011 increased ERP to 200 kW with an antenna height of 425 meters.

WCTE's over-the-air (OTA) signal is receivable in much of Middle Tennessee and in some adjoining parts of South Central Kentucky.

Subchannels
The station's signal is multiplexed:

Analog-to-digital conversion
WCTE shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 22, on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 52, which was among the high band UHF channels (52–69) that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition, to its former analog-era UHF channel 22.
