Article name[edit]

I have moved this article from WFWA to WFWA-TV. Consensus on both WP:NC#Broadcasting and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations#Article_names is that the article name should reflect the actual call letters of the TV station. As can be seen here: [1] the call letters for this station are in fact WFWA. Any concerns regarding this topic would be best addressed here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations. —A 08:27, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At least 1 PBS program on commercial stations in Fort Wayne[edit]

I distinctly remember as a child watching Sesame Street on WPTA-21 during the early 1970s. Back then, there was no Good Morning America on ABC yet in those years. WPTA aired Sesame Street as a market-differentiator from the Today Show on WKJG-33. Captain Kangeroo was on WANE-15. (Sorry, I don't remember what else was on WANE-15/CBS back then, other than I have a vague memory of a news program, perhaps with Bob Schieffer.) I remember WPTA-21 carrying Sesame Street because there was a big crisis in my young life: When WBGU-39 went live, I was no longer able to watch Sesame Street. WBGU-39's signal was so weak that we could not receive it 15 miles north of Fort Wayne until my father seriously upgraded our antenna (plus amplifier & filter) so that I could watch Sesame Street again. All told, I experienced an approximately one-month unavailability of Sesame Street from the time that WPTA-21 stopped airing Sesame Street once the WBGU-39 repeater went live to the time that my father bought & installed the new antenna and bought & installed the new amplifier & filter on that antenna. —optikos (talk) 06:18, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
