WNUV
- ... that the manager of a Baltimore TV station realized it wouldn't be Super much longer? Source: https://www.newspapers.com/article/61026741/
Improved to Good Article status by Sammi Brie (talk). Self-nominated at 05:41, 15 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/WNUV; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Comment: At first glance, as an outsider, I have no idea what this DYK means. My first thoughts are, "Why is super capitalized? Do they mean, 'It won't be great'?" My second thoughts are wondering if Super was the previous name of the station, and the name is changing. If that's the case, it's not that notable--organizations change names. Do you have a better hook? Significa liberdade (talk) 16:47, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Significa liberdade: It is a quirky, for sure. Super TV was programming the station aired (it made them money, too) until the over-the-air subscription TV market cratered. Actually WNUV was really the last of its kind in that regard... Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:46, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Overall: 
@Sammi Brie: Good article, but I do agree with the idea that a new hook should be made. Not because I hate the hook but because it's extreme quirkiness may cause issues down the line and prevent it from being promoted. Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:47, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Alright, alright. How about this, Onegreatjoke and Significa liberdade? Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:00, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
