Channel 3 off the air
- Thread starter KeithE4
- Start date
Upon further review on another TV, they weren't off the air, just very very weak. Channel 15 is normally my best channel, but their OTA signal has been unwatchable for a couple of weeks.
My guess is we will see this off and on for the next few weeks due to the TV repack.
Up here in Northern Arizona, Channel 3's translators are operating but
there is no audio or video. Channel 15's translators are working normally.

They returned to the air sometime last night. They were on at 1 AM, both OTA and on DirecTV, but were still off at 9:30 PM.
I've been keeping track of Channel 3's signal beginning several weeks ago and found something but don't know what to make of it except perhaps the change of seasons.
I normally watch "Last Man Standing" reruns at noon every weekday (OTA) and noticed that the signal would start decaying just before the program began. As the weeks went by it started a little later each day so now it occurs around 12:20 pm or so. I can think of no other reason than some interference with the sun but it seems to happen on cloudy days as well (although not much evidence there as we don't have that many cloudy days).

KTVK suffered a transmission line failure which led to the outage.
They are operating at reduced power until repairs are complete.
