Re: Green Bay OTA TV reception from manistee
Hi Makitaman! I had wondered if you'd chime in on this thread. Seems like it's been forever since you've posted! I see your mention that one of the Green Bay stations you receive ~85% is WLUK Fox 11.1 (and its diginets) on RF12. Did you notice that WLUK's move to RF18 has been all approved by the FC...

Re: WLLA has subs… lots of them…
I suspect carriage of home shopping networks is a form of revenue generation for niche / little known broadcasters such as WLLA. Indeed, I'm very much assuming that it's the shop-at-home channels that brought this about. It's been fun watching WLLA's Facebook posts. On May 27, they posted that they...

Re: Location of Traverse City TV towers.
Hello mars, The post by TC Talks intrigued me too, so I tried to find a thread about OTA Antenna configuration. I, like you, can't find it. There's a chance it was lost in the "gap" when a few months of posts were lost to a necessary restore a couple of years ago. That's when MW found out that his s...

Re: Location of Traverse City TV towers.
Hello mars, Welcome to cord cutting! I don't live "Up North", but grew up there and have been helping family and friends in the area with getting TV antennas in place. I'll offer these thoughts: 1. Tower locations: In the spirit of "teaching to fish", here's the most up-to-date search page for TV to...

Re: TV 9&10 Harbor Springs Translator?
Looks to be on the WMKC/WCMW tower. If there are two translators serving pretty much the same area, I don't see why all networks couldn't be carried on the two translators. They appear to be different owners. It's not just the 2 LPTV filings for Harbor Springs/Elmhurst that the Iacobelli family is ...

Re: Let the great subchannel realignment begin
Hi Trophyhead, Definitely give your TV(s) the rescan treatment. As of 4/22, the channel that your TV(s) display as 15.1 is now part of the broadcast waves for WOOD TV (using the frequency referred to as RF7). It's being provided in 720p HD, causing 8-3 Laff to go blockier more than ever. Possibly if...

Okay, now the game plan regarding the seemingly foreshadowed duplicated COZI diginet is coming to light. FCC filings occurred today regarding NextGen TV (aka ASTC 3.0) broadcasting in our area. Quicker than I could launch the attachments, I found on AVSForum that out-of-market contributor with handl...

Re: OTA changes
Hey Trophyhead and All! Some further topical thoughts: * As MasterB noted, changes are instore for WZPX (channels 43-n) when the calendar advances, since Scripps is shutting down some of the diginets on that station (source: https://scripps.com/press-releases/scripps-takes-first-steps-to-realize-ion...
