Then why buy 12 in the first place?

Because you can't just put $100 million in the bank? Not when they are only insured for $250,000, and only paying like .3% interest rate.

Cool, just submitted a Lineup Change report to Tivo.

That’s quick by Skip standard. Normally someone has to track down our Chief Engineer and argue with him about why we need a reliable on air signal. It was out at least 12 hours or so. I had a recording set to record Twilight Zone at 12:30pm last night, and it was black screen. It came back up aroun...

It was all restored hours ago, so they are back up and running as usual.

Wjrt-Tv channel 12 (Rf12 also) Flint, MI DMA. Their tower that's located close to Chesaning, Mi, was hit by lightning last night (8/3/22) and fried some stuff. 12.2 subchannel MeTv , 12.4 StartTv, 12.5 H&I have been black screen since that time.

They are repairing it, and hopefully will be back soon.

Hopefully they replace it with another subchannel that's worth watching.

This is happening tomorrow, 3/15 10am~. WBSF converts to the ATSC 3.0 lighthouse. Wnem, Wjrt, and WEYI is joining them. CHARGE! is moving to WSMH 16.7 (but will still use its virtual number of 46.3): https://youtu.be/iqeR9lWuOkQ

Would someone please explain what this is and why it will improve my life?

I use a 1992 Zenith CRT TV with a digital converter. Will I need to get another digital converter box? Yes, IF you intend on receiving ATSC 3.0 signals. The only available 3.0 tuner right now outside of some expensive tv sets, is the Hd Homerun 4k devices. Though Tablo announced a 4 tuner 1.0/3.0 d...

Wow! I ride right by that house on the Railtrail between Farwell and Lake Station! Never knew it was a murder house.

I reported the outage on their Facebook pages, as they wouldn't even answer their phones!, and they are back up and running again at 1pm.

Here's their reply:

Hello Michael! Work was being completed which interrupted the signal. You should be able to receive WBSF and WEYI now.

WBSF and WEYI appear to be off right now. There's a signal, but nothing coming through. Are they already messing around with ATSC 3.0, or something else going on?

I sent an email to Skip Orvis (director of engineering) back on September 12th about this, and he never replied, though it seemed to get better after that. Here's his email addy, if you want to send an email yourself:

Newsy content is boring, low budget, and intentionally panders to a younger crowd. I looked at the DigiTV schedule online; the content is crap. That network's programming is geared toward women clearly. It's basically a fourth rate knock-off of HGTV, Food Network and Lifetime rolled into one. Yeah,...

Looks like 49.10 is going to be "Digi-tv" on September 27th. It's now listed as one of their markets: https://watchdigitv.com/markets Now up and running. 49-9 isn't yet, but the TV ID reports it as Newsy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsy Looks middle of the road, especially in comparison to the ...
