Unless I am mistaken, I don't think they'll be wasting the money putting it on it's own transmitter since they have done real well squeezing it on 27 with WKBN and it's got great coverage.

However, as a result, both WKBN and WYFX ended up with a really mediocre quality HD picture, IMO.

Thanks for the update Tom!
Just a minor question but any idea what is up with WYTV currently and their unstable reception for many of us? Is all this antenna/transmitter work a cause? I know others have already chimed in but here in Warren the signal strength of 33 can vary greatly in the matter of minutes and cause dropout issues. Sometimes it will read 70-80% signal strength and just as easily it can drop down to 30% or so where a solid signal lock will not happen.
Would be nice to finally get 33 in solidly here. Now if only WFMJ can start pushing out WBCB in HD like 27 is doing now.(Though honestly I think having the quality degradation, as minor as it may be, on 2 major networks in a single market would be pretty messy.)

There have been no changes or work done on the WYTV transmitter, antenna or tower. It is running with a solid output and a high S/N and MER. The transmitted signal does not vary throughout the day and the power is never lowered. So I don't have any explanation for your observed signal changes other than possibly seasonal atmospherics. I have recently seen an increase in viewer complaints regarding signal dropouts so you are not alone. Hopefully our new transmitter and antenna will remedy the situation.

Was gonna post til I saw Inundated's response. Though TV-Fool now pegs it in the same signal quality area as WFMJ and WKBN with the 1000kw update, this is only going by FCC filings so I dunno if it's actually been bumped up yet or if it's gonna be done after WKBN's antenna is finished. Though with the noticable increase in signal lately I'd wager a guess it has been upgraded. Just need to figure out exactly what is causing all these dropout issues around here.
