== Provide an orientation ==

Contributors need an orientation, and a framework into which they can put their contribution (or withhold until they understand the overall framework that their own understanding fits. Many contributors merely understand their own limited environment, and presume to generalize. For example, mine is limited to a northern Virginia broadcast TV EPG on a digital converter. If I were to extrapolate, I might presume that most broadcasters are as careless as mine about accuracy, and reliability. It often takes weeks for changes in the program broadcasts to be reflected in the EPG. Some broadcasters provide nothing but the call sign & the channel #, with "No description". I don't suppose there is one clearinghouse for this information, but that viewers must contact each stationhouse manager to inform them of persistent malfunctions, because the station staff probably do not monitor their own EPG as well as they do their video(if at all).<br>

Why so much use of bold in this article? I have not seen this on any other Wikipedia page, so it doesn't seem to conform to the usual style of Wikipedia.
