CJAA (IND) 39 54.5 (Does this channel even exist?)

No...I believe that was a proposed repeater for a station the Toronto Star wanted to start in Toronto a few years ago.

I live in the west end of London, and I have rarely ever been able to get CKCO on 42. I think i got it once, over ten years ago. I have never, ever gotten CIII on 29, nor have I gotten CHWI on 16. I have sometimes picked up CKNX on 8, however.

North of London, indoor rabbit ears will give you 42, and more signals from the Kitchener area including 28 and 61.

Erie's WSEE is now on Hi-VHF

Erie's WSEE is now broadcasting on Hi-VHF @ 12.3

The 35.x [16.x] channels that have been shared by WICU,WBEP and WSEE are still active but at lower ERP and I don't know what they will eventually be used for.

The new 12.x [12.x] Hi_VHF line-up is:

12.1 12.1 WICU-DT NBC-HD Erie, PA
12.2 12.2 WBEP-DT CW-SD Erie, PA
12.3 12.3 WSEE-DT CBS-SD Erie, PA

I would think Dunnville would have a good shot at WEWS Cleveland.

 

[ota_canuck]

If I aim a 4221 directly at Erie, I also get most of the Cleveland channels intermitantly 3.1, 3.2weather, 5.1abc, 8.1 and there is also a spanish channel but I don't recall that channel number. From Dunnville at a 210 degree antenna aim, the Cleveland towers are about 20 miles directly beyond the Erie towers. The Erie Towers are about 50+ miles from here, so Cleveland is pretty intermittant at 70+ miles from Dunnville.

I do get WEWS on 5.1 which is a big problem at times because it wipes out CBC/CBLT occaisionally during strong tropo events. WEWS 5.1 takes over the 5.1 psip usage from CBC 5.1[20.1]. I have since had to remove the antenna that faces the Erie/Cleveland towers and I now just focus on Toronto and Buffalo. The only Erie stations I wanted are now available on VHF 12.x, [12.x] and I can get those through the back of the 4221 antenna aimed at Toronto. I haven't figured out how to regain a reliable WQLN 54.x [16.x] yet without having a designated Erie antenna.

I'm considering adding a Terk TV55 under an eve somewhere aimed toward Erie WQLN tower.

Overall, I don't believe that Cleveland is a viable target to have on the list of Niagara/Haldimand stations.

Erie Update

35.3 WICU has gone black.
35.1 HD remains as WSEE - CBS, and 35.2 SD as WBEP - CW.

See my post above:
http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showpost.php?p=961170&postcount=12

They are all moving to DT 12.x [RF 12.x] VHF. which should be much better reception for us in the Hamilton/Niagara areas. I don't know who will be using DT 35.x [RF 16.x] in the future.

 

[goforit]

I guess the move hasn't occurred yet; I'm still getting 35.1, 35.2.

RE: 12.x, I have never got it with my 4221HDs. Maybe I'll switch to a CM 2020 stack, but I'm afraid those VHF elements won't last- birds love'em.

WPTZ-DT 14 is now running ThisTV on it's 5.2 feed. I spotted it last night at around 11h30 pm. This morning it was back to their WeatherPlus service. I guess they must be only running ThisTV at certain hours of the day.

 

[intravino]

WPTZ real 14 virtual 5-2 started this morning This TV programming.

So 5-2 can be changed on Stampeder's list.

 

[Blackburst]

W52CD-LP, Channel 52, St-Albans,VT (RTV Affliate)
Can be also added to the analog side of that list as well.

WCFE Plattsburgh NY channel changes - Montreal OTA

It looks like there is a change on one of the sub-channels over at WCFE-DT.
I spotted mhz. Worldview on 57.3
I guess ThinkBright has been removed!
Which is kinda stupid since 57.2 is a duplicate of 57.1 only in SD. They can still run ThinkBright on 57.2!


Ref.post #1587

I will check out my Tivax digital box later tonight to see how far the WPTZ-DT 5.1 TV listings go.

 

[Passepoil]

Yes, weird things going on at WCFE. When I get home, 57.2 and 57.3 was the same.

I got a good and a bad new from WPTZ. The good new is that they will broadcast a guide for 5.2 via PSIP. It's look like PSIP is mandated by the FCC. They are waiting for better weather because they need to do some work at the tower site. The bad new is that they won't maintain TVGOS. They didn't say exactly that but this is what I can read beetween the lines. From what they said, only 162 stations in the country maintain TVGOS, none of which are NBC affiliates.

 

[downbeat]

WCFE changes

Here's a link to a release from WCFE, dated Jan. 8, explaining the changes to their programming. In short, WCFE has ditched Thinkbright for something called MHZ Worldview by MHZ Networks. It's a relay of English TV news programming from overseas.
Mountain Lake's channel info page also lists the following at the bottom:

MOUNTAIN LAKE PBS ALSO BROADCASTS:
Digital Channel 57.1 airing High Definition (HD) programs
Digital Channel 57.2 airing MHz Network
Digital Channel 57.3 airing Classic Arts Showcase

So it looks like the programming duplication between 57.1 and 57.2 will end soon, if it hasn't stopped already.

Updates to Post #5

stampeder, an update to the list for Detroit/Windsor:

For Digital, need to add WULD RF 8 to the list. Also, there are still analogue LPTV from detroit in NTSC which I hope you can add. These are W66BV (RF66), WDWO (RF18) and W33BY (RF33).

 

[stampeder]

Update to Post #6

As of May 15, 2010 K24IC-D, a low power digital station on Orcas Island's Mount Constitution (just off the coast from Bellingham, WA.) is now carrying KBTC-DT's PBS feed in 1080i HD on real channel 24.1, remapping to 28.1 with an SD feed on 24.2 remapping to 28.2 as a subchannel.

Please Add Post-Transitional Channels Here When They're Confirmed

Unfortunately it is not possible at this time to create a definitive list of post-transitional channels for all Canadian locations. While the Industry Canada database contains allotments, keep in mind that those are subject to review by the CRTC, and indeed we've seen several transitional channel assignments changed during the license approval process on a case-by-case basis.

Post-transitional channels can be added to these lists as soon as the situation in each location becomes approved. If you read a CRTC decision that states the Post-Transitional channel assignment of a station please post it here and I will update the existing list with the new info.

Here is a companion-piece thread for getting such info:
