Re: Schitt's Creek

I checked CW 50's schedule and it doesn't list the show yet... is there a date for when it will begin airing?

I also thought that FOX picked up syndication rights to it, but Fox 2 isn't airing it either...

Re: CKOT 1510

about a decade ago, it got approval to migrate to the FM band as CJDL-FM 107.3.

Then, it and its sister, CKOT-FM 101.3 got bought by Rogers Media.

Manditory ATSC 1.0 Simulcasting End Date

So, we now know what the length of time for manditory simulcasting of x.1 ATSC 1.0 streams will be: sometime in 2023, according to https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/fcc-broadcasters-cant-use-vacant-chs-for-next-gen-tv After that, a station can fully convert to ATSC 3.0 (which means a second digital ...

Re: Linux: who here uses it?

I use Windows on my primary machine (an Asus laptop), but I have a much older desktop tower from around 2008 that runs Linux... and I run Windows Subsystem for Linux for when I need to try stuff out without wanting to turn on a second machine. The Linux machine (and WSL configuration) are used mostl...

Re: Sinclair supports Black Lives Matter

he gets a guaranteed outlet to broadcast his own TV show, and he gets to say he owns a station since he's the head of Howard Stirk Communications... but he pays Sinclair to do all the hard work of actually *running* it so he doesn't have to deal with that hassle... If you look in FCC filings, Cunnin...

A marginally-better signal in Ann Arbor and Monroe, possibly even fringe coverage in Toledo, but at the expense of covering Port Huron as well as they do (they still would, just with a slightly-weaker signal)... let them just stay where they are since they serve the market well enough as it is with ...

Re: Channel 31

That would be ION Television's station, WPXD-TV. It moved from UHF 50 to UHF 24. You might have to try typing in "24" on your TV set so it re-maps to the new frequency. Of course, if you're south of Detroit, that will likely get you WNWO Toledo instead. WNWO's now on UHF 23. They had to move for th...

Re: WOTV - Virtual Channel 4?

I do... i always found that a bit odd that Akron and Canton never broke off to become their own market, or join the Youngstown/Warren market.... they're pretty sizable communities on their own. A station *can* apply for permission to use a virtual channel that's NOT their former analog, or current p...
