Can anybody confirm that WUWB-LD, rf20 station is up and broadcasting right now, and that they can receive it with a tv antenna?

WUWB-LD West Branch, Rose City. Is it UP?
Re: WUWB-LD West Branch, Rose City. Is it UP?
UPDATE: Got a reply to an email I sent their CEO listed on the FCC site right after posting the above:
WUWB-LD rf20
"It's under upgrades and channel changes... it could be down for a bit yet but they will be back soon as possible. Still negotiating channel agreements but it's more of a delay waiting on equipment, seems the supply chain is lacking these days... "
Then again, the FCC website shows that the license expired in 2021, but there IS a license renewal "in process", since that year, so I don't know what to think. Will it really ever come back or not?

Hi MikeBear,
Glad you weren't holding your breath desperately seeking either of the M33 Media LPTV stations.
Yesterday (12/5/2023) FCC filings for cancellation of both WUWB-LD West Branch and WURO-LD Roscommon were made. Signed by Glenn Wilson, President, M33 Media. Interestingly, he's the only contact on the forms--no inclusion of a Legal Representative nor others.
Take care with your further antenna endeavors! ~~ Statmanmi

Well, I wish one of the other stations in our DMA would pick up the Movies and CatchyComedy channels.statmanmi wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2023 5:51 pmHi MikeBear,

Would their cancellation of the licenses nullify their carriage contracts? I believe they held market-wide rights, yet they only covered just a small fraction of the market.

Did they even cover any of the Tri-Cities?

Not really. I doubt they could easily be received more than possibly a 30 mile radius around the cell tower they were using, which was only about 8~ miles slightly South-West of Rose City, on the edge of M-33.
