Does anyone know of any reason why Television call sign diverts here? Australia has a very different Television call sign format than radio call sign. --Chuq 01:40, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Probably because most countries that assign callsigns to television stations don't. 20:41, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
The description of Australian television callsigns doesn't match what my older references show. When did the system change? (My old references, like the '94 WRTH, show callsigns in the "FM radio" format, so that the TEN station in Perth might by 6TEN, etc.) 18.26.0.18 07:26, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Interesting.. I've read a lot of sites covering Australian TV history and none of them show or use any format such as 6TEN. Can you post a more complete list? I'll go googling for details! -- Chuq 00:43, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I just checked my '94 WRTH and it shows the format you describe. So either I was utterly confused, or I'm remembering something I saw in the '88 WRTH, which I don't have a copy of. 18.26.0.18 05:29, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Move proposal: Callsign (radio) → Call sign
Call sign was an unnecessary disambig page. I merged it with Callsign (radio) which had the bulk of the content. I think the main article should be at Call sign. (If someone strongly prefers Callsign, I won't argue much.) -- agr 21:50, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I prefer callsign. (Why would I call a sign?) – radiojon 04:29, 2005 Mar 1 (UTC)
- Support (I prefer call sign) —User:Mulad (talk) 07:15, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)
- Neutral: It is fair to note that www.dictionary.com redirects "call sign" to "call letters". (My last vote on RM, since i'm not wasting my time finding stuff on talk pages...relish it folks...don't say I didn't warn you!) —ExplorerCDT 17:45, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Support I don't believe that "callsign" is a word. —Michael Z. 2005-03-14 00:42 Z
Looks like an old copy/paste move from callsign to callsign (radio). Page histories need to be merged but they both use block-compression. Listed on WP:RM.violet/riga (t) 00:28, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Temporary fix done. violet/riga (t) 21:00, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
