About 11:50pm last night, I could not get any of the four TV5 channels. Totally blank and black screen. Was there an issue with TV5 last night..?? :lol:
Just a guess...they may have been testing for their planned frequency switch on June 21st. I just saw the scroll for it.

Hmmm, Wednesday night I had Colbert on and didn't encounter even an interruption.

WNEM is currently on RF channel 22 going to channel 30

WEYI is currently on RF channel 30 going to channel 18

WBSF is currently on RF channel 46 going to channel 23

WAQP is currently on RF channel 48 going to channel 36

They're all in Phase 3 which is happening currently.

Do you receive their xmitted air signal? Or use cable or satellite? Which satellite provider? Which cable provider?

Since R Bedell mentioned the 4 channels associated with WNEM.....you can safely assume he was talking over the air from 5's xmtr.
