This category currently has only 1 article - WVCY, and is a subcategory of category:U.S. television networks. — Instantnood 20:15, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. Makes sense.
- Keep and reparent to category:television stations. This category is for stations which are not affiliated with a parent network, CITY in Toronto and CKVU in Vancouver are two more. category:ITV is for articles related to the British ITV network, which is something else entirely. I'm not sure whether category:ITV should even be a subcat of this one (it sounds like ITV is independent only in the sense that it is not BBC). -- Rick Block 17:02, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- The original philosophy of ITV was a network of regional stations independent of the BBC and each other. Only the former of these is true these days though, bar one or two, since the Carlton-Granada merger. Thryduulf 18:07, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- A Network of affiliated, non-network-owned, TV stations, is not a set of independent non-network stations. Independent stations usually connotes to non-network stations. Otherwise, every US network would qualify under your definition of independent. 132.205.45.110 18:56, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Keep and populate, there's probably a few dozen articles that could belong here. SchmuckyTheCat 02:46, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
