Who's at full power Now?

[Den Mayer]

Be careful... GBay WB 14 is Analog

GBay WB 21 is Digital.....


 And let the whole WIWB WB reception truth be told:

    GBay WB 14 is Analog from Suring, tower is 39 miles NW of GBay

    GBay WB 21 is Digital from Lark, tower is 13 miles SE of GBay

   That's a WB TV-14  51 mile additional stretch to Sheyboygan...........

     Sorry for my omission on an important detail.

Not to be greedy for info but is that about the same time frame for HD on WCGV?

WCGV-HD
Currently in progress, but no ETA yet. It should be before the power upgrade however.

I receive Green Bay stations WBAY, WFRV, WLUK, WGBA, WPNE and Appleton's WACY, but I don't receive WIWB analog 14 or digital 21.

I can't figure out why WIWB's digital signal is non-existent here?

WIWB's main lobe for their digital signal is pointing towards Suring, almost in the exact opposite direction of Sheboygan.  It was their only option to locate to that community tower and still get the FCC required signal strength to Suring, their city of license, yet get a better signal over the majority of the market.  They do not share the community antenna on the community tower because of this reason.  Their analog tower is just north of Pulaski, so it's 18 miles from GB.
I do know that they are planning on getting the HD gear in shortly and the link to the community tower is capable of handling the HD signal.  I think they are hoping to have the HD in before the new season starts, or at least by the November ratings.  Most likely only the WB prime will be in true HD, everything else will be upconverted.

i can receive wb 14 analog often.  I see the Wisconsin's WB logo and researched it.   Didn't think it was that far away.

Thanks, Dan.
Whats really weird is I can receive WIWB 14 at my parents cabin in northern Forest County, but not in Sheboygan.

Also WDJT/WMLW's signal is killer up here,  hovering around 90%.
