Image talk:Tvmarkets.gif
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've emailed the original creator of this image for usage on wikipedia, and this is what the reply was:
Hi there!
Thank you very much for asking about the TV market images. As long as the source page (http://ekb.dbstalk,com/TVMarkets or www.echostaruser.com) is clearly linked as the source, feel free to use any and all of the images. The images are copywrited, but the information public domain. The information to make the maps was taken from the FCC, several national TV station groups and places on the web.
The individual TV market maps are accurate as of September 2005. The national map is accurate as of September 2003. The market borders change slightly every September as Nielsen Media reasseces their vieweship numbers. The national map is about 96% accurate. I plan to update the national map after the next change this coming October as everyone realigns for the market changes.
Please let me know if you have further questions.

I think this qualifies as "{{CopyrightedFreeUse-Link}}". :)

- I've written another email to the picture creator (tngtony@cinci.rr.com) and here is his reply:

- The images are GIF files so they can be used by anyone. They have the copyright info right on the image itself. I encourage anyone who want to use them, however all I ask is a link back to the Echostar knowledge base in the explanation of the image or in a caption. If you can’t use them, that’s okay too.
- Thanks again for asking. J

- Does this mean it's {{CopyrightedFreeUse-Link}} ?

- That template requests a link back to Wikipedia, not this guy's website. I think the best template is {{CopyrightedFreeUseProvidedThat|it is accompanied by a link to [http://ekb.dbstalk.com/TVMarkets/ Echostar knowledge base].}} -SCEhardT 17:59, 16 April 2006
- Thank you! I have applied the copyright tag that you've specified, and I appreciate everyone's assatance here.
