Re: WUWB-LD West Branch, Rose City. Is it UP?
Would their cancellation of the licenses nullify their carriage contracts? I believe they held market-wide rights, yet they only covered just a small fraction of the market.

When locals were introduced on DirecTV in the late 1990s and early 2000s, I believe at first you had to pay extra for them.

Re: CJAM Celebrates 40 Years
About 1977, CJAM was listed in White's Radio Log on AM 660. It was not shown as a carrier current station. The article said that the station on AM was heard in its residence halls, rather than the entire campus or the surrounding area, so it's very likely was a carrier current. An over the air full...

Re: Sale of Windsor's CKWW in the works
There is considerable overlap of WJR 760 and WTOR 770, but it is over Canada and there isn't much WJR can do. I drove from Michigan to Toronto on a road trip in 1999, and I was able to tune in to WJR until I got into the western outskirts of the GTA, when interference began obliterating the signal....

Re: Sale of Windsor's CKWW in the works
Yeah, how did that one ever get approved? I guess because the transmitter is directed at Canada. Exactly -- WTOR's signal is directional towards Ontario from its transmitter north of Niagara Falls. When it's on the air during the day, the signal blankets the GTA and Southwestern Ontario, though beg...

Re: Ohio statewide EAS test
Why would a station delay a test 24 hours? If it was an actual alert for, say, a tornado warning, it wouldn't do any good to delay it the next day.organman95 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 2:10 pmOr 24-hours later. - but that is the maximum allowed delay

Re: WBTL Ch 5 Toledo
It went off the air in 2007. The box turned into MTV2 on most cable networks. MTV2 would replace The Box on many LPTVs as well. In some areas, it would later be replaced on LPTVs with MTV Tr3s, a Spanish-flavored MTV. MTV's involvement with LPTV would fade away by the early 2000s, as the main MTV c...

Re: WTF?> WDIV F*cks up NBC news feed on 4.3, again.
So that's at least four occasions of screwups when including the occasions in January and June I mentioned in the "NBC Nightly News on MeTV" thread. Don't forget Wheel and Jeopardy as well, when they mucked that up on MeTV as well when the main channel aired the car show special. You would thought ...
