DIRECTV gets our locals via antenna and I guess their tuners are set on certain frequencies. When 10 and 43 moved, they were off DIRECTV for about 15/20 minutes...

Today is an observed holiday for most companies you think they will get it fixed

THAT is a good question. I just went thru the LCC setup again and I can see WTKR and WGNT now but there is no schedule/program information and duplicate listings...

I got my hands on two LCCs (local channel connector) from DIRECTV when 10 and 43 were in a dispute so I use it for OTA locals with DIRECTV.

It's come in handy... plus it has ALL the subchannels that the locals carry too!

The WTKR/WGNT issue is resolved now
Well at least for me it's coming in now.

Thanks for posting this. I had to tell my tivo to rescan and then manually change the channels. Hopefully the guide will pick it up properly. Right now I see WTKR and WHRO but have no guide info...
Edit: posted too soon. As soon as I manually triggered a service connection it got the guide info.

After ALL these years, we finally see what WAVY was going to with these LPTVs. You would think WKTD is involved too?

I want to get my hands on a NextGen TV tuner. Curious to see if they bit starve the ATSC 3.0 signals... augh...
So far most ATSC 3.0 signals are just HD simulcasts of the primary channels using HEVC for video instead of MPEG2 and AC4 for audio instead of AC3. With the different modulation and more effecient codecs there's more than enough bandwidth available to have 3-4 HD feeds on one signal.
4K OTA from the networks won't be coming until there's enough tuner penetration after the mandatory 5 year simulcast period and stations decide to convert their remaining ATSC 1.0 signals to standalone ATSC 3.0 operations, freeing up bandwidth for 4K and nextgen feeds of their subchannels.
Unfortunately until we start seeing ATSC 3.0 tuners coming in ALL TVs and not just 55+ inchers, and/or they change their mind and start offering coupons for free converters like they did in 2009, it's going to be a long time until there's enough ATSC 3.0 tuner penetration where stations can safely turn off their ATSC 1.0 signals without losing a significant portion of their over the air audience.
