WFFC-LD 17 off air.

WFFC-LD channel 17 seems to have gone missing, just like WFKB did in early December. Not sure how long it's been off the air, but I can no longer receive it or any of its subchannels.

For me too. I tried to Google it this morning without any “off the air” results.

I can't find a STA that says they surrendered the license, like we had with WFKB, so perhaps it's just an outage of some sort, and they haven't noticed as of yet, or are working on it.

It seems like about a week or more they have been off the air. A couple of weeks ago they weren’t on, I moved my antenna, and they came back on.

Nothing helps this time.

Who knows anymore. Maybe WAQP, WNEM, and WJRT will take those sub channels.

Yeah, they came back on yesterday. A few hours after I asked Trip from Rabbitears about it. Maybe he contacted somebody, maybe it was a coincidence, don't know.

I noticed this also. There were back on a couple of days later.

Is this station going to get their electronic program guide working?
