True or false: Somewhere in the United States (the state doesn't matter) there also exists a WPIX-FM and/or a WPIX-AM. 66.32.143.38 19:20, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

As of 2018 there are rumors that Byron Allen is in talks to get the Tribune owned stations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:640:C600:8270:8869:83C5:E072:AE42 ( talk) 16:57, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
I noticed recently that there was an edit war concerning the end of when the Kids WB weekday programming ended. I searched a forum, and according to this thread, they stopped airing weekday cartoons at the very end of 2005. So January 2, 2006 was the first day without Kids WB weekday cartoons.

Currently, WPIX is branded "WB 11," but what will the station be called when it begins affiliation with The CW? — HG707 05:14, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
For much of the 1960s until about 1970–71, WPIX ran the U.S. Army–produced The Big Picture prior to sign-off on weekends (alternating between Saturdays and Sundays, but not to the best of my knowledge on both days at the same time). I noticed, reading Les Brown's Encyclopedia of Television, about the 1969–79 license challenge, that he mentioned "footage from military training films" shown on late 1960's newscasts with the words "Via Satellite" emblazoned on screen. Since The Big Picture aired on channel 11 at the time in question, could such footage have come from that program? – Wbwn 03:02, 12 August 2006 (EDST)
It should be noted that WWE Smackdown is moving to WPIX three weeks before the launch of The CW. My Network TV is launching two weeks before The CW, providing interesting choices for the new My Network TV stations on what to do with those final two weeks of UPN or WB programming.
Some My Network TV stations will be airing their UPN/WB programming in late night, while others, including WWOR and the Fox stations will not show it at all. WWE Smackdown, which never has repeats (although they occasionally have clip shows) has a special situation, since its still a UPN show for the next three weeks and WWOR is not showing it. It is a station issue AND a network issue, that a special deal was made to air UPN's final three weeks of Smackdown on WPIX (and other Tribune WB-CW stations) in advance of the CW launch. Yes, Smackdown is going to be on The CW, but until the new network launches, it is still WB11 and Smackdown still is a UPN show. This is certainly something worth noting.
Now for your opinions.

I was thinking along the same lines, but wasn't sure how to classify it. This is, more or less, a decision made at the CW network level and any written mention of it belongs in the CW article. Rollosmokes 05:02, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
That was so sad! I grew up with the wb! Anyway, they flew through all the logos previos to the cw. The CW 11 News is almost exacly the same. I'm so sad!! Seamus215 02:18, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

It's all smooshed now,and I don't know how to fix it. Seamus215 21:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Agree. It looks compressed and ugly. Seamus215 14:46, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
I think the "smooshing" has to do with the image being uploading under the same filename as an older image. This can be fixed by clearing your browser's cache. Another suggestion: wouldn't it just be better to use this logo? — Whomp ( myedits) 02:34, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
It's already a long article, but I'd like to see one aspect of WPIX history at least touched on -- in pre-satellite days, WPIX was distributed on microwave throughout a lot of New England, enabling it to be carried by a lot of cable systems, and giving many communties an independent alternative that would not have been available off-air. Someone with more time than me ought to look up the details of the extent of that network and add it to the article. StanislavJ 20:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Should I put in a Controversy Section because it was critisized for its coverage of the London Attacks a few years ago by several newspapers? In the Daily News they did a comparison of all the TV news reports of it and it showed that the WPIX was the most irresponsible because they talked about it for a total of 5 minutes and went to 15 minutes of Bowling. And there were several on-camera , live, walkouts of some of the traffic people.

I was thinking that there should be a separate page created for the 1969–79 WPIX license challenge, given all the twists and turns that took place then. Old New York Times articles, and one from Time Magazine, all dating to 1970, can be the ultimate reference for such a page. That plus the impact on the TV industry in the early 1970's and beyond, including an equally bruising license challenge for Spokane, WA's KHQ-TV (channel 6), in another famous example. –

I have uploaded the official logo of WPIX used in media kits and on-air. Instead, a user is trying to replace it with an image from the station website. -- Liradio 06:54, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
The use of images not in compliance with our fair-use criteria or our policy on nonfree content is not appropriate, and the images have been removed. Please do not restore them. — Moe ε 20:13, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Rollosmokes keeps on reverting the digital tv section back, saying there is no source for it. All I had to do is google "LATV WPIX" on google, and I found a source, very easily: [1] In addition, all I had to do is turn on my television to channel 11.2, and LATV is there. Please stop reverting for no reason, Rollosmokes. 71.183.53.9 ( talk) 01:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Will someone please write some history about how in the 1970s kids could call in during afternoon programs and play a video game to win prizes? To fire the gun you had to say PIX. And some kids would just say PIX PIX PIX PIX PIX. Kingturtle ( talk) 04:33, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
See http://www.retrothing.com/2006/06/tv_pow_70s_vide.html -- anon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.82.28.94 ( talk) 06:56, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Rollosmokes has once again been trying to force his opinion that any usage of the term "The CW" or "The WB" is incorrect. He has been informed before ( here and in the following section of that page) that in infoboxes, the title or proper name is the correct usage - which means that "The CW" or "The WB" is proper. Rollosmokes has tried to claim that this is bad grammar, but that only applies to usage in a sentence. The consensus at the WGN page was to remain with the full capitalized usage in infoboxes, and on that page he was left it alone - although overnight he went on a wholesale revert campaign when I tried to correct it across several pages. Thoughts? TheRealFennShysa ( talk) 17:14, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Ok everyone, WPIX is using two logos, the CW11 and the WPIX Circle 11 logo. Since their in the two-month transition to the new logo, please keep the CW 11 logo up until all graphics on WPIX have changed to the circle 11. Thats including program bugs, station IDs, and newscast (the new logo is only being used for promos). This might not happen till December but when the move happens, it will be the time to change the WPIX logo. -- Liradio ( talk) 08:26, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Whoever edited the page to say that the transition ended early is wrong. The station is still using 'CW11' on-air, including the bug during programming and their newscasts. The new logo is still mainly seen in promos. The station did have a Giants pre-game show on 11/13/08 that did showcase the new logo for 30 minutes but the main newscasts still sport the old logo for now.

WPIX is claimed to be the flagship of The CW but the WPSG entry says that WPSG is the flagship. (Unless CBS buys WPIX) -- Meteorman7228 ( talk) 15:48, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Seems as if Lolita is covering general news as a reporter and Glen is gone. Sports news has been reduced to a minute or so read by the news anchor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.250.182.206 ( talk) 03:07, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis ( talk) 16:57, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
Does it make sense to limit new additions to the lists of people associated with this television station? This thread is an arguable step in a process for developing consensus opinion.
Is it appropriate at this stage of the article's development to initiate a standard for names added to this article, including:
In a context informed by practices which seem to have worked out well at
Navy Cross and
Talk:War Artist#Status: notability?, all new additions who aren't already featured in an article could be re-redirected to this talk page section. with the following edit history explanation:
A. The name below is confirmed by a reliable source, but she does not have an article yet:
She later hosted two NYC based kids TV shows: "The Mighty Hercules/Carol Corbett Show," which aired weekday afternoons (at Peanut Butter & Jelly time) on WPIX-TV (channel 11) in New York</ref>
B. The names of those with neither confirmation by a reliable source nor an article are listed below:

In due course, perhaps all or most of these can be restored to the article. -- Tenmei ( talk) 14:09, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
An episode of "Channel Zero" December 27 1948 survives as a kinescope recording [4]. Few kinescopes survive from that year and I wonder if it is worth mentioning the series in the history section. 121.214.112.230 ( talk) 22:37, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
I am used to watching WPIX-TV on Cablevision Channel 11. Since 17 August, that channel is now broadcasting Style (TV network), as well as Channel 176, and I can't watch WPIX-TV any more. It appears this is just one of the Tribune Company channels pulled by Cablevision. This information should be in the article. For more information, please see Cablevision#Tribune_Company_dispute. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 20:24, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
