Re: WCMU Transmitter Building Fire

WPHN 90.5 is back on the air with an STA. The signal seems weaker, but is still coming in adequately 35 miles away. Don't know the details of the STA, location, ERP, or HAAT. The Engineering STA for WPHN 90.5 was filed today: https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/public/tv/draftCopy.html?disp...

Re: Weather reporting

Temps are in the low 70s in west Michigan, where a winter weather advisory was just issued for tomorrow! LOL ... Not to distract everyone too much, but I'll share that I was texted at work by my 10 year old at home in Northern Kent County asking me if I could advise where in the garage there is a g...

Hi smallwonder, MW & All, Currently 41.x WOTV on RF17 provides: 41.1 ABC [HD 720p] 41.2 dabl 41.3 CHARGE! 41.4 Local weather radar and NOAA weather radio dabl is also available in market on 64.6 WLLA on RF22.

WZMQ CBS 19 is teasing a new addition to their roster.
Turns out they've hired longtime U.P. sportscaster Mike Ludlum, and also U.P. veteran TV salesperson Mark Nebel:

Re: recommendation wanted - BASIC cheap FM radio antenna for stereo receiver

Are there any stores still left in the Grand Rapids area that sell these 75/300 ohm adapters, where I can buy them in person? I miss Radio Shack! lol -- I know I can order them super cheap online, but it'd be nice to have a local source where I can purchase and have them immediately, not wait days ...

Re: WADL didnt show the CW ACC football game this past saturday

We have something weird over this way. WLAJ (ABC) and WLNS (CBS) do something of a time share. WLNS runs their news on WLAJ, and WLAJ 53.2 has some kind of alternate CW. Strange stuff. The insight I can offer on the Lansing market's CW situation: * It's a single broadcast stream (on RF14) that prov...

Re: digital TV signals

Hi Feature/writer, I'll add to all the great points given above. As MW pointed out, 4 of the broadcasts in the West Michigan market are on (High) VHF wavelengths. Most markets our size have only one VHF broadcast, by the way. Jason noted about wanting an antenna with dipoles 3 feet wide, which is my...

And WLAW is transmitting from the new site, the water tower. They can dot the i's, and close the book on both of these moves. ... It's looking like today is indeed the conclusion of this whole WLAV / WLAW move saga. Sure, WLAV has been set now for over three years from the GVSU on-campus tower. But...
