Re: ABC12 News Director calls it quits

*maybe* someone will be hired that knows what they're doing? As it seems almost the entire market has gone to hell. I could be wrong about that thinking though. Might they just promote the recently hired assistant news director Mr. Sean Mahon? https://www.michiganmedia.com/2022/10/21/sean-mahon-joi...

Re: TV 9&10 Harbor Springs Translator?

It's not just the 2 LPTV filings for Harbor Springs/Elmhurst that the Iacobelli family is acquiring from the "RF squatters" that held the construction permits. From this FCC filing and others, I've seen 10 LPTV construction permits noted: https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/views/public/ass...

Re: WWTV at low power?

There should be a translator for 9&10 near the area, as well as a stronger translator for 7&4/29&8. When I lived in Manistee, I could only pick up WCMV (ridiculous, as my house was only a few miles from WCMW tower). The others were not possible from the south end of town. I'm curious to see if WWTV...

Wireless cable.
I agree as well. Evoca TV has paired up LPTVs in their other markets to provide the (encrypted) ATSC 3.0 channels, from what I've read.
