Analog channel 3

[beeper]

Now that most analog in Milwaukee is gone, I turned on my old TV today and still have analog channel 3 in the channel list. I am receiving a broadcast, but I haven't been able to figure out what it is yet.

There is a large A as the channel bug and the commercials seem to be for Canadian advertisers.

I don't find anything on TVFool. Any ideas?

After a little more searching for Canadian stations, I found that it was CKVR TV known as A Barrie in Barrie Ontario Canada. Needless to say it was received because of a weather anomaly, since it is over 400 miles away.

There's something special about DX and analog channel 3. On the day of the "big switch" I received a pretty strong signal from WSAV-TV in Savannah, GA for a while. Sadly, it faded away before I was able to get the signal on my TV tuner attached to my computer.
