Station Watch

[Kevin Arnold]

Now that its down to the last 2 weeks prior to the magical May 1st sign on deadline its time to start the Milwaukee "Station Watch".  Each day at least one person, and preferably many, should do a channel scan specifically looking for any activity on channels 34 (WISN),and 33 (WITI) since if they intend to meet the deadline, will need to be testing soon. As soon as you. see anything, post it here so we can all join in on the fun. I am sure these two stations will "flip the switch" at 12:00 a.m. on 5-1

I am going to do a scan every day at 5pm. I will post any findings.

This had better have been the last time I had to watch Alias in 4:3.

Get on the ball.

I also re-scanned last night and found no activity on those channels. However, my DTC-100 now has re-mapped WMPS's digital station as 8-1,8-2,8-3,8-4,8-5. I had my sat. unit off all night, and we will see if it goes back to 10.1-5.

If there's a post every day there's nothing there, I fear that this thread is gonna get REEEEEEAAAALLLLLL long!

I live in bay view, just for kicks I turned my antenna around and scanned Chicago.  I was able to get ABC, NBC, WB(WGN), and FOX.  I noticed though, that all the 4:3 programming is blown up to fit 16:9 with the top and bottom cut off.  What's up with that?
