Re: Weather radios

Here are a couple of examples of weather/AM/FM/TV band radios:
"Sony's ICF-36 Portable AM/FM/TV/Weather Band Radio features a simple design with high power and good sound output. The four-band AM/FM/TV/Weather tuner means you can tune in your favorite radio broadcasts, listen to TV programs, and receive up-to-date weather reports." and a more expensive "Sonido AM-FM-TV-Weather Radio". These radios receive TV1 and TV2-VHF channels 2-13.

At lease they use to receive TV1 and TV2-VHF channels 2-13.

TV local weather was quite useful. But, did the digital conversion cause the TV audio to be lost? Are TV channels 2-13 still used?

Yes and no. Analog is no longer broadcast except for certain low-power stations. Therefore VHF analog channels that you could pick up audio from are no longer broadcast in the way they used to be.
