WCPO Analog to drop in strength

WCPO-TV 9/Cincinnati is broadcasting some warnings, in addition to the DTV Transition warnings, that their analog signal is going to drop in strength in the next few weeks.

From the Kiese blog yesterday,
where he also talked about today's soft analog shutoff test:

And speaking of reception problems... in the next three weeks, Ch 9 will be broadcasting a weaker analog signal as it removes the analog antenna from atop its Walnut Hills tower. By June 12, the analog deadline, Ch 9 should have its new digital antenna installed atop the tower (about 100 feet higher than the current temporary digital antenna), says GM Bill Fee.
We of course get Insight Cable, so our TV's should be good to go tonight.

By the way, we're wondering if Time-Warner straightened up their problems, after the first one or two DTV tests in which some stations accidentally had their analog feeds pulled in by TWC, instead of the digital. (Paging Rich Emery!) Let us know about it by emailing us at tristatemediawatch@gmail.com.
