Greetings TV Garth readers. I’ve been really behind on updates, but wanted to share this quick report about my May 13, 2010 reception! There was an intense burst of reception from Utica, NY’s WKTV (RF29) and Syracuse, NY’s WSYR (RF17). I’ve picked up WKTV a couple of times in the past few months, but haven’t gotten WSYR since Sept. 2009! But what made this day incredibly exciting was that I got a shout out ON AIR from Don Shipman during WKTV’s newscast! I recently interviewed Don, and twittered him about my reception this day. He then gave a shout out on air and even mentioned my other tweet about flipping through Syracuse stations!!!! I was flabbergasted and amazed! Full report coming soon! Meanwhile, check out some pics and video below!

The pics:
WKTV (RF29) at roughly 222 miles away from me with Newschannel 2 At Daybreak!
WSYR (RF17) at roughly 174 miles away from me with The Morning News on Newschannel 9! (Complete with snazzy banners on the sides!)
One big news event was President Obama’s visit to Buffalo, which was being covered on both stations!
Stay tuned to TV Garth for more TV related goodness!
A little OT but I read that WNGS was being sold to a new group and may be back on the air soon. What is the status of that station?
ReplyDeleteActually, I was just about to post about it! :-)Heh....WNGS came back on the air today, but the signal seems weak. It's on VHF 7...I got about two seconds of decode just long enough to see a bit of picture and get the station ID. Haven't gotten it to lock since, but they're running Daystar religious programming until the new group takes over. Rumoured to be a Spanish language station, but nothing confirmed yet!
