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. 12, 2009 Part 2 Make Mine Michigan with Detroit, Bad Axe and Flint, along with Rochester and Erie!


Detroit's WJBK is pictured above with their "Late Shift" programming, sponsored by the delicious Wendy's! (Check out the local branding too....the web site is listed as MichiganWendys.com) This pic was from my adventure receiving TV stations from Erie, PA / Rochester, NY / Detroit, MI / Bad Axe, MI and Flint, MI on Nov. 12, 2009 from my home in Markham, Ontario, Canada. The night was the second BIG opening to Michigan in November, with stations from Detroit, Bad Axe and Flint rolling in a little after 12am. I captured many local commercials, parts of newscasts, and picked up Detroit's WJBK for the first time! It's also noteworthy that I picked up three different stations on RF16 throughout the day (WSEE, WXXI, and WSMH!)
