Here's a repost of the email received this morning from Friend of TSMW Rich Emery which is posted here on our main blog:
Good morning again!
Just saw your 8 AM item on TSMW, and wanted to confirm what I said below -- I'm definitely seeing a huge improvement in WCPO's signal near Hamilton, and several other people on AVS discussion threads report the same. Looks like they've successfully erased lots of their reception problems through their tower work!
Which leaves WHIO as the last one likely to improve in the short term for me -- whenever that happens, I'll be a very happy DTV camper.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For what it's worth, I'm seeing greatly improved WCPO signal strength at my house. "voyager6" posted a message on the Dayton AVS thread describing exactly what he saw after midnight -- I'd given up and gone to bed, after nothing happened by 12:10 AM -- and he reported a huge improvement. Activity actually started shortly after 12:15 AM, it seems.
I can definitely confirm far better signal strength for WCPO in the Hamilton area this morning. As I'd commented on AVS, one set-up I have doesn't even need to have rabbit ears extended to get a solid signal, and that's quite an improvement!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With WCPO now finished switching over, that means our main market of Cincinnati has fully switched over (minus a possible increase in power by WKRC if they determine that it's necessary to boost their VHF signal).
And with that said, it is now time to close the books on Tri-State DTV Watch. From now on, we'll just be posting our regular mix of items on Tri-State Media Watch, as we did before opening this effort 4 months ago, but this blog will remain up and open - we just won't really be posting to it anymore. We thank you for reading.
