I have created a draft article from my sandbox about WGAL Dave Brandt. I managed to use it in my own words and cited sources along with checking over the wordings I used using Grammarly to be more clear and concise in my own wordings. I hope it works. See what you think.
David Leroy "Dave" Brandt Jr. (February 8, 1919–June 10, 2007) was an American sports broadcaster, host, and reporter. He was notably known as the pioneer of sports on both radio and television, and one of the founders of WGAL, which signed on the air in March 1949, and subsequently moved sports from WGAL radio to WGAL–TV. He inspired future generations of local sports broadcasters who followed in his footsteps.
Early Life
Born in Marietta, PA, and as a native of Marietta, he was the son of the late David E. and Beulah Mae (nee Dyer) Brandt. For most of his life, Brandt considered sports his favorite leisure activity, participating as a spectator and observer. He graduated from Marietta High School. As a player, manager, and coach, he loved baseball (which he would take with his future career at WGAL, which became his forte). After graduation, he entered Elizabethtown College, where in his second year as a sophomore, he expanded his reach with sports by applying for a job on WGAL radio (then WLPA, now WRKY-AM) in Lancaster to be a sports broadcaster. After auditioning successfully, the station manager hired him to be one of its full-time announcing staff and he broadcasted all types of sports, particularly introducing a 15-minute news segment Brandt on Baseball and news for three years until being drafted into the U.S. Army in June 1941 and was overseas until his discharge in 1945.
Career
Brandt returned home to his roots in Lancaster, rejoining the WGAL Radio staff and resuming his duties as a staff announcer, sports director, and, for a short time, as a farm director. In March 1949, television came calling when Brandt took all his duties in sports from WGAL radio to the day WGAL-TV was founded becoming one of its pioneers and founders and became its very first sports director in history where he continued his 15-minute segment Brandt on Baseball after broadcasting the first live shot on WGAL Channel 4 which would later become Channel 8. He considered it his "sports desk". In addition to covering sports frequently, he served as a quizmaster host for the game show Stump Your Neighbor. Throughout his time at WGAL covering sports, Brandt interviewed so many famous sports figures. Most of which were local.
One of his other contributions to sports was when he founded and coached the Red Rose Softball League in 1964. He even managed another team that he named the Channel 8 Cardinals for eight years. In 1975, he was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame. A year later, in 1976, he was presented with the George W. Kirchner Memorial Award for his commitment to sports at the Lancaster County Sports Hall of Fame.In 1997, he received the J. Freeland Chryst Award.
Brandt retired from WGAL in 1982 after 45 years in sports broadcasting, 33 of them spent at WGAL-TV as sports director.
Personal Life
He married Phyllis Yeagley in 1951 and they settled in Lancaster, having two daughters, Sally and Ann E, but one of their daughters, Sally Marie Brandt, died in 1972 unexpectedly.
Death
Dave Brandt died of natural causes on June 10, 2007, at age 88. His influence and legacy at WGAL in sports are carried on through future generations of WGAL sportscasters. Nine years after his passing, he was posthumously inducted into the WGAL Hall of Fame in December 2016 along with other WGAL pioneers and founders who shaped the foundation and legacy of WGAL.

Information icon Hello. Your recent edit to WGAL appears to have added a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 03:48, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on WGAL. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 04:01, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at WGAL, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.
