• No gripes in the lead
• "From provisional facilities, WHEN began broadcasting on December 1, 1948." - The construction here feels awkward - suggest "WHEN began broadcasting from provisional facilities on December 1, 1948." as more straightforward
• "It originated from a temporary studio" feels redundant since you just established they were using provisional facilities
• "The DuMont Television Network followed suit by February." - the grammar here doesn't work. First sentence describes WHEN becoming a CBS affiliate. If DuMont followed suit, that would mean DuMont became a CBS affiliate. But "followed suit" is an idiom I'd suggest replacing anyway. (Maybe combine this w the following sentence?)
• Suggest giving the full names of NABET and CWA per MOS:ACRO
• First fullname and link of Maureen Green is after she's first mentioned by last name only
• Speaking of Green, was she fired a second time in 2007?
• " lowered salaries, with younger, more inexperienced employees" - was Granite cutting the salaries of the existing employees and also hiring new ones on the cheap, or waiting till oldheads left and hiring cheap new people as replacements?
  • Green said Granite started lowering salaries and hiring staff right out of college. "The veterans were not appreciated and pushed out, and that was another thing that was happening right in front of the audience's eyes. Not clear but I changed ", with" to "and hired".
• That's it, no further gripes through the end of the article.
