Re: Rural Areas and Signal Strength
said by qworster  :WPVI could easily go on one of the High VHF or UHF channels that are being given back after the changeover. No, it can't. 7,11, and 13 are full power in New York and would result in interference with a full power in Philly. Channel 8 is in New Jersey, same problem. Channel 9 Allentown. Channel 10, Harrisburg, channel 12 Philadelphia. That's VHF-Hi.
All the UHF stations are also taken or precluded by interference issues; there's no room for a full-power station.
Reemeber, right now each TV station has TWO channels-that will be reduced to one in Feb., freeing up a ton of channels.
Remember we're losing 52-69.
which means that in Philadelphia channels 7,9,11, and 13 will eventually be allotted (the spacing between DTV transmitters is about 3/4 that of NTSC, which means that these channels can be used in both NYC and Philadelphia).
No, they cannot. There's also Baltimore to consider with those. |
