This morning I was tooling around on the FCC FM query site looking at all the little translators on the way and I figured it's been some time since I checked out TV being curious if something interesting might start up soon (and also wondering why WRNT is still 48 when they are transmitting on 32 and calling themselves 32).
I noticed a few construction permits that indicate that those of us who watch OTA are soon in need of a rescan (note, all stations will still display the same channel number they always had)
WEDH currently on 45 will be moving to 30
WFSB currently on 33 will be moving to 36
WTIC currently on 31 will be moving to 34
WCCT currently on 20 will be moving to 33
anyone know why this is happening? I've not been following too closely lately and the only guesses I have are that 20 might be spectrum due for reallocation or to prevent problems with WCVB (if they are also still on 20) or further still problems with the interference with the DC police, (though if I remember correctly that was only WCVB vs DCPD). I'm assuming this isn't the case as they could have easily just moved WCCT to 34 or 36 and not all 4 stations.
