Found out the 21.1 signal is still active but Soul of the South Network folded.  Also 49.3 and 58.3 flipped stations.  49.3 is now This TV and 58.3 is H&I.

Quote from: John L;60114What's 21-1  

What's the actual analog channel that they are transmitting the digital signal on?

Virtual Ch?

This is on analog channel 7.  It is now owned by the KM Communications who also owns WOCK-CD in Chicago.

Weathernation is running a scroll and radar for the Severe Thunderstorm Warning this evening,

CW 18 WVTV and My 24 WCGV are going to be moving their studios from 35th Street north of Capitol Drive to an office building on a 3 1/2 acre site on Park Place next to the Milwaukee Hilton Garden Inn.  The building was formerlly occupied by Rockwell Automation.  They will have the usual satellite dishes and will have a 150 foot relay tower on the site connectiing to tower on Humboldt.  So far it passed the ZND Committee gave unanimous approval and is expected to get the same at the Common Council meeting later this month.  If everything goes as planned they will start broadcasting from there by the end of 2013.

The Milwaukee ZND Committee approved unanimously to CW 18 and MY 24 plans to move to a 3 1/2 acre site at Park Place and Calumet Road behind the Hilton Gadren Inn Hotel on the far northwest side.  They are putting up a 150 foot relay tower to connect to the tower on Humboldt and the usual satellite dishes on the site.  Will most likely pass Common Council approval later this month.

I was watching a few minutes of the CBS 58 Noon news and noticed grey sidebars were added.  That must mean that they finally got an HD switcher for the newscasts.

I saw the new set for the first time today on TV and its a HUGE upgrade.  The cameras going robotic finally puts them into the 21st Century.  The visual quality is much better already except still not fully in HD yet.  I would guess that by August they will be ready.  Usually it takes two to three weeks between the new cameras and going fully HD. Usually training with HD spectrum first.  They need a weekend to clear out the tube monitors and install multiple source flat screens and get rid of that ancient switcher.

Quote from: WITI6fan;52175They (WYTU) have a construction permit to move to analog 49.

WYTU already broadcasts on 49-4 on the digital side.

Does anyone have a complete list of what time each local station is turning off their analog signal on June 12th?

I actually saw that 49-5, 49-6 and 49-7 were added as future channels.  Could it be possible that they move WMLW and This in SD to the 49 channel tier and have 58-1 in HD similar to 10-1?

Quote from: khafferkamp;51565is that for real or a guess

This is for real.  HD news will be a reality at 5 am Tuesday Morning.

I know what it is.  Watch at 5 am.  You will be amazed.  A first for Milwaukee and the 2nd in the state.  Hint Hint !!!!

Here is proof of TMJ4 running the ticker in HD from breaking news on Live at 3.
