Re: Catholic radio in Detroit

couldn't they get an LMA on 107.5 FM? that would decently cover the Metro area... I thought Urban One is looking to pull out from running that one...

Re: Why is Sanilac part of the Detroit DMA?

there are some community-owned translators in remote areas (mostly in the rockies and great plains) for that exact reason.. they get a contract to partner up with stations to get permission to repeat their signals.... i can see it working in Bad Axe and the Thumb region.

Re: Why is Sanilac part of the Detroit DMA?

Yeah. back when i was younger (1990s), I'd be watching Fox 2 or Local 4 or Channel 7... and whenever there were bad storms rolling in, they'd have the DMA overlay with watches/warnings and occasionally a radar loop (later on in the 1990s) and towards the bottom: three counties in the bottom two rows...

Re: Why is Sanilac part of the Detroit DMA?

I think Sanilac was swapped-in to replace Jackson and Hillsdale Counties around 1998 in an attempt to keep Detroit in the top 10 DMAs list... all that did was delay the inevitable by about 5 years.

Re: New channel frquencies

I was FINALLY able to briefly pick up TVO and Global with my rooftop antenna... and it was NOT easy! All that co-channel interference made me work for it. :P TVO has a virtual channel of 19.1 now. Global's is still 22.1, despite moving to UHF 33. I was also able to tune in to WDWO-CD as well.... ver...

Re: I now know your pain...

well, i just checked WMYD out on the FCC's page... they're running at 931 kW (out of a possible 1000 kW) at 324 meters (1063 feet) so.. yeah. not much to really gain power-wise for them...

Re: Helping someone get WJBK OTA in SW Wyandotte

hmm... could cause some minor multipath, but that wouldn't be enough to outright block the signal.... now, you said she can get CBET... they're on VHF 9. WJBK (Fox 2) is actually on VHF 7... so there's not a whole lot of difference between the two channels in terms of frequency... let me just see if...
