Overall: @Sammi Brie: Good article. Though, the first hook kind of confuses me. It makes it sound like WMBF is the first TV station in south carolina which i'm not exactly sure is the case. Simply, i kind of feel like alt0 is worded confusingly so i'd prefer a rewording. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:30, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
