Was watching the news tonight and just before 6pm, poof, the signal is gone.
I can receive all the other tv stations just fine.
I have an antenna on my roof about 15’ in the air.
Wonder if this is just me or if others have noticed?

That was strange.

Curious if it was just the off-air signals or were Comcast signals affected too? I believe Comcast gets their feed directly on a fiber connection.

Re: WDIV off the air?
Facebook posts I've seen tonight do indeed indicate that the outage was spread across (seemingly) all providers as well. Read reports specifically that DirecTV and Comcast were affected.

I was watching WDIV off-air when the screen went dark. Switched over to xfinity and they were there, since they feed comcast via fiber, not OTA, so not comcast's fault, this time.

I reached out and emailed WDIV help desk. Received a prompt response. There was a power glitch at the transmitter site. They were aware of the issue.

Stormy WX in S.E. MI !
A few times I heard some AM signals go off and come back on, maybe lightning hit on the tower could cause transmitter to shut down and reset again, or AC power fail and come back before a generator could start up.
