WOOK-TV
- ... that in the 1960s, Washington's WOOK-TV produced commercials using African American talent for national advertisers including Budweiser and Safeway? Source (PDF page 79)
- ALT1:... that upon the demise of Washington, D.C. TV station WFAN-TV, its owner took out a full-page newspaper ad declaring that the station had been "choked to death" by an inability to upgrade its signal? Source (p27)
- ALT2:... that Washington's D.C. WOOK-TV was the first television station in the United States to orient its programming toward an African American audience? Source (p1, PDF page 9)
- Reviewed: The Country Without a Post Office

- Made two days ago. Long enough at 10KB. Free of copyvios. Core content policies satisfied. I see the QPQ. Neutral to original hook and by extension ALT1, but I'd rather discourage ALT2 due to being a first, which is cliched. If the first hook is picked, I suggest "African American" be linked since non-Americans are less likely to be familiar with the term. ミラP 00:22, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
