MW: When you said 'from sign on to sign off'. Do any of the stations sign off at night any more? Aren't they all 24 hour stations now?

I think after 1 a.m. it's nothing but infomercials until 6 a.m. at the earliest. Some of the network affiliates have an overnight news hour.

The usual agro between broadcast and cable. CBS Channel 6 is running ads complaining about Comcast threatening to drop them. Nothing on CBS Ch 5 about this, so it just may be local, but I guess it's that time of year. Unless it cuts into their cable fees, why don't these stations do spots about DIY ...

A little off topic, but in eastern Genesee County I can pick it up quite clearly in all but the worst weather. I was looking for news yesterday after the games at 7pm. 5 ran Wheel of Fortune so I tried 6 and got their evening local news. Aside from the prioritization of news vs syndicated pap, WLNS ...
