Is Canada getting ATSC 3.0?

I can't see what use Canada would have for the new standard. Due to CRTC red tape, subchannels are very rare in the great white north, so they wouldn't be able to take advantage of one of ATSC 3.0's coolest improvements (more subchannels). And channel sharing on the ATSC 1.0 stations would be confus...

Re: WADL swag

Really cool! One interesting observation I made is that the 586 area code was obviously not implemented yet, as their number has a 313 area code, despite being in Mount Clemens. The 586 was implemented in 2001. EDIT: I found out that 586 was split from 810, which split from 313 in 1993. This would m...

Re: WTOL (CBS) Toledo approved for power increase by FCC.

Monroe County should be split between the Detroit and Toledo DMAs, since the northern communities are sorta like an extension of Downriver. The Detroit DMA communities should be: Ash Township Berlin Township (except for Estral Beach) Carleton Exeter Township (except for Maybee Village) London Townsh...

WPXD has already been divested to Inyo, and they have agreed to give Scripps channels priority

Re: Changes probably coming soon at WPXD (ION).

Qubo, Ion Plus, and Ion Shop will cease operations by the end of the month. Many of the stations that Scripps has kept, like WPXN NYC, have been replacing QVC with Laff. I can say with almost absolute certainty that Grit's gonna leave WADL and get picked up on WPXD. Even though WPXD got sold to anot...

Re: WFHD-LP

This better not screw up my reception of WHNE. I don't think that adjacent interference really exists in digital, but I'm not entirely sure.

Info on channel 26?

I've been in touch with the owner of rabbitears.info, regularly emailing him with updates and corrections on the info listed on his website whenever possible. The listing for CHWI-60 however is incomplete. It lists no video resolution, it doesn't say whether or not SAP audio is being transmitted, an...

Re: WLMB seeks a relocation to UHF

The FCC should get rid of the setup wherein there are zones with different power limits. I know it's because of terrain differences, but it doesn't help the roughly terrained zone (zone II) as much as it hurts the flat zones (zones I and III). Plus I think it might be unconstitutional. The Low VHF l...

Re: Channel 26

I get CBET pretty well, most of the time, but getting CHWI (main transmitter) requires a tropospheric opening. I've technically seen the Windsor translator, both as a weak analog signal, and later, as a PSIP response with ID. I live in Melvindale, and using an indoor setup, I get CBET and CICO's Wi...

This would actually have a bit of overlap on WUDL's contour. https://www.rabbitears.info/contour.php?appid=25076f9175b4684d0175d7aff8d9370c&site=1&dma=N&map=N&contour=Y&lppc=Y&int=N&pop=N&incpop=&excpop=&z1=N&nrqz=N&lprw=N&head=Y&asrn=&extras=25076f916267d43b01629cdcd86e767d&cir=&circen= As you can ...

Re: WLMB seeks a relocation to UHF

They should also move their antenna to somewhere in Ohio.

If this move doesn't get approved, they should do channel sharing with one of the bigger Toledo stations.

WHNE and Mohu Leaf

Today I picked up the Mohu Leaf, and surprisingly, it picks up WHNE's VHF signal indoors in Melvindale. I thought it might just be a DX so I tested my Clearstream 2Max, and the 2Max didn't get WHNE. While the leaf is still getting WHNE! I am very surprised. :hat I'd still recommend using an actual l...
