- Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
- Template:Ping I've edited the main hook because I looked back at the article and it is indeed 34 years. It is 1978 to 2012 (I thought the article said they'd move in in 2013). The 1978 date is when the federal budget cuts put all work on hold. I don't like the idea of piping the hook link, personally.
- As to the CBUVT question... Typically, {{Infobox broadcast}} is present in a TV station article and it has a spot for "call letters meaning". However, I had thought it not the most relevant for a television station that never signed on the air (though I've added it). The CBUVT call letters are definitely a derivation of CBUT (the "parent" CBC station in Vancouver) with an inserted V for Victoria; this letter insertion was sometimes used by other CBC repeaters and by the CBC's French-language TV stations outside of Quebec (CBUFT, for instance, with F for French).
