Wjrt-12 Tower hit by lightning

Post by MikeBear » Thu Aug 04, 2022 11:14 am

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.

Bryon will probably make the employees pay for repairs.

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

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 around 12pm, just in time for The Waltons.
