CW is now going to WMYD https://www.wxyz.com/news/tv20-detroit-to-air-cw-network-primetime-programming-live-sports-starting-nov-13 I used the link to the WXYZ site earlier today, just to read the posting that jmeltonwx alerted us to in this thread.

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...

WLLZ Applies To Move To Diplex With WDET

If it hasn't been noticed already, the WLLZ and WMDX transmissions may soon be coming from the WDET tower. WLLZ's license to cover for their Auxiliary operating system there was approved today (9/7/2023), after having been filed on 8/16/2023. WMDX's filling of the Auxiliary license to cover happened...

Re: WLAV Tower Relocation - new update 7/29

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...

Re: WJR SUV up north

Thanks to statmanmi for answering my question. I had looked on WJR’s website to try to figure it out but didn’t see what you found. It was Paul W. driving As far as up north, I agree with Mark. Arenac County westward, to me, is up north. The laid back attitudes seem to start there. You're welcome R...

Re: WJR SUV up north

I passed an WJR SUV this afternoon on M-13 between Linwood and Pinconning. Are they broadcasting from up north this week? Does anyone actually have an answer to the question, or will all of you geography majors continue to flash your diplomas? :rollin IIN4MU has a good point--Nobody has attempted t...

Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?

I agree regarding the awkwardness. The narrowness of that room makes it anti-photogenic. I wonder what is on the other side of the wall where the weathercast monitor is mounted? That wall, ideally, should not be there. The space would look much more open without it. Hi MW and All, If anyone from th...

There are actually several new faces on 'vine & 10, but the geniuses in marketing there have yet to post them on the stations' website. Seems fb or nuthin' these days...

Re: WDET - another station that needs to get its engineering QC together

Hey MW, Seeing your post reminded me that WLLZ had those construction permit filings with the FCC in 2022, for both main and auxiliary use occurring from WDET's transmitting location. Turns out the primary transmission's construction permit (for 39kW) diplexed through WDET's existing omnidirectional...

I'm finding that on 12/30/2022, the FCC approved the WLLZ primary signal construction permit for diplexing a 39kW transmission through the existing WDET omnidirectional antenna. The FCC had earlier approved (on 9/13/2022) the auxiliary construction permit for WLLX to diplex 37kW through the existing...

... Does anyone know where these channels are sent from and what other channels will be added?
