Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?

If true, the station is seemingly afraid to promote it. I'm skeptical that tomorrow is the rollout. To roll out news with minimal promotion would suggest management has little confidence in the quality of the product. Is that the case here? I do not know. Could be that they're doing a "soft open" t...

Re: Coast FM in the mid 90s

The 94.5 tower was (maybe still is?) over in Hebron Township. I remember when it was 94.3. Used to drive near it going to my grandparents' house back in the '90s. Always created a bit of interference with any station when driving close by it. When Del changed to 94.5, the interference problem disap...

Re: LPTVs On The Air Testing

W28EJ and W30DQ are now testing and their IDs added, but although the COL is Charles, MI, it says Sault Set. Marie on the screen. Anyone know when the Elmhurst channels will be on from the WMKC tower? They were delayed earlier this spring because of getting heavy cement trucks on the roads in that ...

Re: WHNE adds Rewind TV, returns to UHF thru channel sharing

Where are the technical specifications for the Winegard, gain, pattern, etc.? Does it work well for WHNE? It looks like figure 8, 0 dBd on VHF Low, slight gain on VHF High due to parasitic elements, and UHF due to the UHF directors. Remember you get about 10 dB of noise free, passive gain from moun...

Re: WHNE adds Rewind TV, returns to UHF thru channel sharing

It would be nice if they could allocate a few more bits to those subchannels that have motion video and less to those shopping channels WHNE has 12 channels. 3 channels sell stuff. Don't you think that 9 channels of programing out of 12 is enough to entertain people? They do have to make money to o...

Nobody posted about it before because nobody could receive it, see it, or scan it. It seems nobody is interested.
So viewers in Lapeer can recieve WXON, but because you can't seem to recieve it, you think no one can see it. Very interesting!

Re: This TV 4.2 OTA

I don't get this channel over the air. Is it new? WHNE-LD has been operating from its Oak Park location since 2014. Was on Virtual 14 (RF20) until last repack. Now on low VHF3 (Virtual and RF) since spring 2020. Low power 3 kW on low VHF makes for difficult reception for many in metro area. Too bad...

Re: This TV 4.2 OTA

The WHNETV.COM web site has the complete schedule for all WHNE channels and ALL of the local Detroit TV stations right on the home page.

It can be changed to check different days and times with a pull-down menu. I've never seen anyone post this before, but it's been available for several years.

Don't forget that the WHNE Drive In channel (3.6) on plays classic movies without any interruptions. Commercials are played between the movies.

Re: WMYD 20.1 gave up the ghost

I do believe with certainty that my TV does have an ATSC 3.0 tuner because I remember picking up the test signals and simulcasts just before the last repack. But that also has effected the channels I used to get. ... 😔 If you do have an ATSC 3.0 tuner you would likely not be having any trouble with...

Re: WADL lands My Network TV

I'm also surprised that TV20 didn't take the opportunity of their new-found independence to drop the WMYD calls and go for something new. Like take back the WXON callsign? It became available again after the LPTV in Flint closed down many years ago. WXON is not available. The newest TV station in t...
