WPXD TV31 duplication

Friday while channel surfing, I noticed 31.7 is duplicating 31.6 (GET-TV). Previously, 31.7 was a shopping channel.

Anyone knows what's going on?

Re: WADL TV38.2 now airing WFDF 910

WADL came in again this morning for about a minute, instead of the couple of seconds a few days ago. There is video after all that is just a slide.

38.4 is also missing for me.

Re: WTKA Ann Arbor

I listened to them back when they played oldies as WPZA. If I recall correctly, they broadcast in stereo.

The 3 towers were actually near exit 175 off I-94 and Ann Arbor-Saline Road as shown on the map:

WADL TV38.2 now airing WFDF 910

While channel surfing early morning over the weekend, WADL was coming in for a rare visit. I noticed 38.2 was airing WFDF 910 (audio only).

Re: Megan Woods

Has Megan really left WDIV? I have seen a few In Your Neighborhood self promos with her in and also showing her name.

Re: Cozi TV on WDIV 4.2 (Bye bye Byron)

For a few days, 4.2 was flip-flopping between This TV and Cozi. Now on 4.2, it's all Cozi and the program info is showing "off air".

Re: 50.5 Nosey?

While channel surfing in the wee hours Saturday, Nosey was airing the Jerry Springer Show reruns as a marathon with no commercials. Some of the shows, Jerry looked real young.

The program info was for Start TV and was also showing during the test pattern days.

Re: Megan Woods

Over the weekend (I don't remember when exactly), she said her 'goodbye' at the end of a news broadcast.

Re: AM Civil Defense pre-1963

I remember my first car, a 1963 Buick Lesabre, had both frequencies highlighted on the radio's window.

Re: WJBK signal strength?

For me from Jackson, I rarely get WJBK this time of year. WADL is much more difficult to receive than WJBK. I rarely get WOOD-TV also.

I was told the original one was in St. Louis (MI) on M-46. It has been a few years since I have driven by and it was still there at that time.

The story of Battle Creek television history

I found this article in The Battle Creek Shopper to be interesting:

https://www.thebattlecreekshopper.com/ starts on page 26.

This is in the October 26 edition. After this week, you will have to read in in the Past Papers section.

I've had Terk antennas and found them to be junk.
