Welcome to TV Garth!

Ever since I was a kid, I loved antennas and TV reception. It was always a thrill to hook up an antenna and see what stations I could get, and see if I could pick up anything from a far distance. With the transition to digital broadcasting happening, my love for OTA (over the air) reception came back and this blog will focus on what channels I'm able to receive via antenna from my home just outside of Toronto, Canada. Plus there may be occasional commentaries on shows that I see while adjusting my reception.

Reception Reports: Nov. 8-9, 2009 including the return of Utica's WKTV along with Erie & Rochester!


The warmer temperatures in early November really helped the long distance TV reception bounce back! This was my adventure receiving TV stations from Rochester, NY / Utica, NY and Erie, PA at my home in Markham, Ontario, Canada on November 8-9, 2009. This was WKTV's first appearance at my home since September. (Check out their awesome meterologist Jill Reale above!) I captured their newscast, as well as some of the national morning shows from Erie, PA the next morning. The big news was the passing of President Obama's health care bill. I also got excited to see a segment on WKTV about Price Chopper, since I didn't know they had them in the US. But later I found out the US Price Chopper is not connected to the Canadian grocery chain of the same name.
