I wish my CBS channel was still WWTV from Alpena, etc. Sadly our cable carrier here gives me the Detroit feed (as of 5-10) years ago. #oldman #harkingBackToTheOldDays On Thu., Oct. 24, 2019, 10:20 a.m. Ben Scripps, wrote: > On Oct 23, 2019, at 7:03 PM, 'Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV < > tvornottv@googlegroups.com> wrote: > > > > (I'll bet that when the Tribune TV stations division broke up, Mr > Scripps got at least a little ribbing from colleagues... :-D) > > No more than all the other days…:-) (The station (WXMI) where I did my > internship in college is one of the former Trib stations now owned by “the > other Scripps”, which is, at least as far as I’ve been told, no relation.) > > Back to the original question, we (WWTV/WFQX) did a repack switchover last > Friday (channel 21, with a PSIP of channel 45, simulcasting channel 32—try > explaining that to a confused viewer).

They mentioned that it had to do with the FCC giving some frequencies to cellular phone networks. I'm not sure if that's the case nationally or not. As of around 11 a.m. today, Videotron (my cable provider, who I assume takes WCAX over the air) still had a "technical difficulties" page up where the channel was supposed to be.

I get my TV over the air and one local station (WTAE in Pittsburgh) has been off the air for 11 days now. I called the station last week and was told "they're working on the transmitter and the signal should be back by the end of the week." I googled the station and searched on Reddit and there was no notice or conversation about the shutdown.
