Re: Helping someone get WJBK OTA in SW Wyandotte

If this help matters at all, Susan's house only has one floor, though the immediate neighborhood has some two-floor houses. As of today, she is still not getting WJBK.

WXYZ at 50% power

Due to a transmitter issue earlier today, WXYZ was running at 50% power a half hour ago, possibly still is right now. They're working to get it fixed ASAP. Has this had an effect on your reception of WXYZ?

She can usually get WJBK Fox 2, but once in a while, especially when it gets windy, she has problems with it. But for the last couple weeks, she has had major problems getting i...

Re: Network programming preemptions by individual stations

Tonight, WXYZ is pushing reruns of The Conners and American Housewife to 1:07 AM-2:07 AM, and dumping The List, to air a Rocket Mortgage Classic pregame show.

Re: OTA channels MIA

in the analog era, 2, 4, 7 all covered out to Lansing, Flint, Toledo, and even London (with severe transitory interference for 2 as far away as London, Ontario). 20 and 50 covered out to Ann Arbor, Port Huron, Toledo and the inner suburbs... 62 covered only the inner suburbs and downriver communiti...

As of yesterday, the station is gone from the lineup.
I just checked and it's still listed on my TV.

Re: Network programming preemptions by individual stations

Preemption alert on WDIV: A special about the Detroit Grand Prix will air tomorrow night in the 7 PM hour, bumping Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! to the 8 PM hour, in turn pushing the first hour of Blindspot's two-hour season finale to Me TV 4.3.

Re: CKCO-3 Channel 42 Off the Air?

Should CKCO-3 flip to UHF 30 for its digital signal with virtual channel 42.1? From an ethical perspective, CKCO-3 should convert to DTV, but they won't. They're owned by Bell Media, the owner of Canada's cable and satellite TV providers. With OTA television out of the way (except in areas with US ...

Re: The Ax Falls: 2019 Network TV Cancellations

That’s probably half the network shows which is proving something here that over-the- air networks are dying ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and The CW, So the question is where will these 5 networks be in 10 years, My bet is that they will be gone from broadcast television and these are the guys that want ATSC...
