Re: WMYD will switchover to ATSC 3.0 today at 10AM EST, 12/07.

Per scroll appearing on the stations main channel. You may need to rescan, folks. Why would you need to rescan for a 3.0 station, unless you have a 3.0 receiver? Effective today at 10AM (right now), channel 20 will disappear on TV sets that people use antennas to receive the local stations. Some of...

Re: Does anyone get WUDL signal?

According to that map I am just inside the blue line for coverage, but get barley a signal at all on RF35. So I wonder if WUDL goes down for a bit, would I be able to pull in another Canadian station? That blue line is the 51dBu signal. According to FCC guidelines, you should be able to receive the...

Re: Does anyone get WUDL signal?

You are right on the each of their coverage area. It's possible with that coverage pattern, you won't get a signal where you live.

It's been confirmed as true You are incorrect. It has not been confirmed by real news sources. Only in the fake news media, so if you want to believe the lies that are being pushed, that is your choice.

Roy Henderson should be embarrassed to have that on the air, even if it's just to say "it's on the air" to stay legal!

Re: Schitt's Creek

Channel 50 is picking up the recently concluded Canadian Sitcom Schitt's Creek. This is the first new show they've added in a couple of years. I've seen the first two episodes on CBC and It's pretty funny. Has anyone else out there seen this show? Do you think it's a good choice? (I've always reall...

WMT filed an STA today (8/12/2020) to operate nighttime at reduced power (POWER REDUCED TO 25% OR LESS OF THE NOMINAL LICENSED NIGHTTIME POWER WITH TEMPORARY FACILITIES).

They stated their non-DA Daytime tower was not effected by the storm and will operate at normal power.

Re: Numerous FM translators are off the air this morning

There was a power failure across the street from this tower site in Oak Park from Saturday night until Sunday afternoon. It only effected a few DTE customers, but one of those customers was the tower site. The three full power TV stations were on generators, but everything else was off the air for s...

Re: WCRZ breaks FCC rule

You do know the FCC doesn't care what they post on they're web site, don't you? The FCC is only interested in what is broadcast.

Broadcast political rules for local offices are different than the rules for national or state offices.

Did they buy to send high-speed data?
M33 Media is a wireless internet provider in that whole area from north of Fairview Mio area to south of West Branch. Have been for several years, long before he purchased the LPTV stations.

Re: WURO & WUWB

Camping near West Branch, eh? Kicking the tires on WBMI perhaps? With an FM, and a couple of LPTV's, you could be king of all media in Ogemaw County. Bring on the $5 spots! We sold both of those stations to Glen Wilson/M33 Media. I wondered if he still had them on the air. RabbitEars shows them on,...
