Image:WMYA logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

WAXA went on the air in the late 1980s -- perhaps 84 or 85 -- owned by Anthony Kupris, not Frank Outlaw. That is a fact that is in error in this article.

The station had difficulty getting carriage on local cable companies and had no real signal in most of the NC area of the market. This hurt the station's ratings and ultimately its revenue, forcing it to go dark in late 1989 or early 1990.

The image Image:Mike Cuevas.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

According to Page 8 (A15) of the TV Listings in the Spartanburg Herald-Journal for August 31, 1989, WAXA was still broadcasting. The last program on WAXA's lineup for that day was the movie "Suicide Murders" starting at 11:30 p.m. The schedule by this time had apparently been reduced to mostly movies, but there are still some cartoons ("Teddy Ruxpin", "My Little Pony", "Popeye", "Yogi Bear"), game shows ("Newlywed Game", "Dating Game", "Double Dare"), talk/court shows ("Divorce Court", "Morton Downey, Jr."), and sitcoms ("New Gidget") on their lineup. An earlier weekday lineup from March 1, 1989, shows only three movies that day, more half-hour strips ("I Dream of Jeannie", "Dark Shadows"), and more game shows ("Super Password", "Liar's Club", "Relatively Speaking", "Gong Show"). On Page 13 (B7) of the September 1, 1989 edition, the TV listings show "To Be Announced" every few hours for Channel 40's then schedule.

WAIM left the air in May 1979, four months after losing the ABC affiliation. The channel appears to have remained dark until WAXA signed on in September or October 1984. This contradicts what's in the article. JTRH (talk) 23:49, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
