Just saw this from the FCC:

Yep, WJJA-DT and Weigel are applying to move the transmitter site to---surprise!---what appears to be the channel 58 tower. And, at 58 kw (ironic!), they'll get out quite far on that tower.

Now of course, it is subject to the FCC approving it, but if it does, WJJA-DT will be going out pretty far...to the Illinois border on the south and to Ft. Atkison on the west.

As an aside, it seems as though (for now), they want to keep the analog station where it is now. Given another year and some for analog broadcasting to end, making the move northward might be to much of a hassle or costly.

It wouldn't be worth moving the analog antenna and transmitter.  Yes I can see moving the digital and it would be great. Looking forward to that.

Not enough time to get it approved and done before it has to be turned off. Waste of money and time.
