What Is A Station Or Network Status Thread? (updated April 25, 2012)

[stampeder]

Threads that say "Status" in the title are only about the current technical and operational status of stations and/or networks.

They are not about local reception experienced by consumers.

With all of Canada divided up into local OTA reception threads there are times when situations at the stations or networks affect many or all areas at once. To prevent a bunch of different threads from each having their own post saying something like "CJTL 43.1 just went dead - what's going on?" we require that the appropriate Station or Network Status thread be used instead. Here are some important requirements:

• Give your location or put it into your member profile
• Give the call letters and channel number of the station or name of the network in question
• Don't make a full local reception report
• Don't discuss whether you or others may or may not like the programming on it
• Don't ask for help with your OTA gear or comment on the OTA gear of others
• Take discussions about local OTA reception issues to the proper Reception Results Forum thread

As always, if you are in contact with staff of stations or networks please remember to invite them to join this site and explain our Station and Network Status Forum. We have had many people from inside the broadcasting industry as members here, and they are all most welcome here.
