Thank you for taking the time to post and let us know!

Very classy - I wish all the stations would take the time to do so.

Programming for WCGV-DT 24-1 can be found by tuning in WVTV-DT 18-2. Depending on your receiver you may need to scan for this channel. This will remain in effect until repairs are completed on the WCGV-DT (channel 25) transmitter. Please note that 18-2 will be in SD.

Great Job!   24-1 has had THE BEST SIGNAL of all Milwaukee stations from my QTH in the northern suburbs of Chicago!
