If the station is known as Telemundo 52, then why is this article at KVEA?? 66.32.252.70 01:28, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

People ask pointless questions.

Not a pointless question, but it is most definitely one that can be answered with a heaping spoonful of common sense. Mike H 15:51, Jul 13, 2005 (UTC)

Unverified information

In 2010, KVEA/KWHY will move from its longtime home on Alameda Avenue in Burbank, NBC Studios. A new studio is being built at Telemundo Square in Wilshire Center, 8.51 miles away in Mid-Wilshire.

This cannot be verified and was added by an anon user who vandalized several radio station pages today. It should only be added back if it can be verified. Tobycat 01:32, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

Affiliation Change

For most of its existence, the station served as an Telemundo affiliate but became the Univision affiliate for Los Angeles on July 1, 2006, following the defection of long-time Univision station KMEX-TV to NBC Universal.

I moved this content here for further discussion/evaluation because it is confusing. The date stated is in the future. Additionally, a check of KVEA's website still shows an ABC affiliation. It's unclear what this content is trying to convey.Tobycat 03:43, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

• That makes no sense, as KVEA is owned by NBC Universal and KMEX-TV is owned by Univision. I asked around to a couple people I know who work at both stations and it is not true in any way. -- FunkyChicken! 03:43, January 12, 2006 (UTC)

Removal of newscast schedules?

NPOV/Bad Grammar

Not very comfortable with these paragraphs

On January 15, 2001 KVEA launched a number of news programs in to compete with powerhouse KMEX. From 6 a.m to 7 "Buenos Dias Los Angeles" began transmision. After the terrorists attacks of 9/11, the station upped the "Buenos Dias" coverage by an hour, starting at 5 a.m.. The show was anchored by seasoned Mexican journalist and former CBS Telenoticias reporter, Ruben Luengas, Anchor Azalea Iniguez and by Sal Morales in charge of weather and the light side of the news. Iniguez was KVEA's popular weeknight anchor who came to Los Angeles from her native Mexico. Morales used to sub for Luengas when he was on vacation or working on an assignment. Real CHP officer Guillermo Preciado joined them later on, providing traffic reports. This concept brought the element of "familia unida" implemented by News Director Al Corral, which proves that Hispanics are loyal to what they know and tend to shy from getting anything from another source including news. From day one, this team clicked. This chemistry worked: The three anchors really liked and respected one another. The viewers caught on and "Buenos Dias" was perceived as a real contender to KMEX's morning show, "Primera Edicion". Sadly this team is no longer in place. Only Azalea Iniguez remains in the mornings as Head Anchor for "Buenos Dias"

or this one:

In 2006, Eduardo Quezada left the station. Once again KVEA is playing musical chairs with their on air personalities. Time will tell if they finally have gotten their act together.

Many changes are still needed in this article Jorobeq 23:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I wholeheartedly agree that changes are needed, but I think the issue here is more about unencyclopedic tone and opinion than poor grammar. Perhaps a change in templates is in order? Anyway, I think this section needs some citations before we can worry about copy editing. Paulwe2 (talk) 22:46, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kvea la.jpg

Image:Kvea la.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 other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

• Add a MOS:GEOCOMMA after "Corona, California, United States".
• Add serial commas after "Philadelphia (WKBS-TV)" and "travelogues".
• "in order to" → "to" (less wordy)
• Sort categories in alphabetical order.

• @Some Dude From North Carolina: Done. Also expanded the lede. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 15:41, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Fine rewrite. The fleshing out of KVEA's early history was especially welcome. However, I wish more of the history of KVEA's news division had been preserved, especially regarding Eduardo Quezada, who was a major figure in Southern California Spanish language media through the early 2000s. If this issue, as well as the other ones regarding the ALTs, are remedied, then I think we'll be good to go! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 21:31, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

@CurryTime7-24: Thanks a lot for the feedback. The Quezada move from KMEX to KVEA was a big deal, and I've been able to add some references and a bit about that. It's a good reminder that there might be some notable talent in Hispanic media that we just don't have articles on due to systemic bias/language issues. A lot of the news department material post-2001 struck me as "comings and goings of anchors", but clearly that one is worth a mention. ALT1 comes from [1] and the Wall Street Journal article. Also wrote an ALT0a with original title of the show. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 23:50, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Great job, Sammi Brie. Thank you for taking the time to tweak this splendid rewrite. As somebody who grew up watching KVEA, I'm looking forward to your DYK! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 21:20, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

CurryTime7-24, is there anything else tweaked by the rewrite that is worth restoration? I'm always open to your feedback. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:27, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

It's hard for me to say only because at this point it depends on one's personal tastes. From a DYK perspective your rewrite more than satisfies all the necessary prerequisites. There was some interesting history with some of the local shows that KVEA produced, the most notable being a short-lived Sabado Gigante clone starring a gent whose surname, I think, was Ziegler. I also seem to recall that Telemundo for a time was the racier alternative to the more family-friendly Univisión (I remember shows like the Benny Hill-esque Las gatitas de Porcel, which was definitely pushing the envelope in the late 1980s), but these are all things that go beyond the scope of just KVEA. As it stands, however, your article is superb and I really can't think of anything that needs to be added. :) —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 22:23, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
