Re: Why is Sanilac part of the Detroit DMA?

The Thumb area of MI screams for a 100kW digital TV transmitter, with about 8 multiplexed digital subchannels. Place it just south of Bad Axe. Put 480i of the majors from F-S-BC and 2 or 3 digital subchannels on it.

Re: New channel frquencies

I was looking at rabbitears the other night. I think the CW affiliate up there in F-S-BC area is switching to a 600kW transmitter when they do their phase 3 switchover from RF 46 to RF23. If so, they will be quite a powerful signal up there. You mention that they're going from 70kW ERP to 600kW ERP...

Re: 62.3 DABL ???

At least DABL won't cost me anything! Seemed like if they added a channel on cable the bill used to go up by $10...lol.

Glad I cut the cable TV outta my Comcrap service.
