New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. The copied text has been 5x expanded in this article, satisfying Rule A5. I'm afraid I don't find either of the hooks so hooky, and am unable to find hook facts from ALT1 about the name and the nine months in the article. QPQ done.

@Yoninah: Added a mention of the 9 months, but it does get to be kinda mathy and a bit of a dashed line (the call letter change came in the middle of the sale and there's no other thing they could possibly stand for). I do have a potential ALT2 candidate? Raymie (t • c) 22:28, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2: ... that while management of Wyoming television station KFNB claimed transmitter trouble as the reason for going off the air, a former reporter announced that all staff had been laid off? [4]

Thanks, let's do that. ALT2 hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:47, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
