What's Happened To Channel 12?

I have both OTA TV on a big outdoor VHF/UHF/FM antenna and basic cable from Cox as well as several indoor antennas.

Lately channel 12 has been missing in action on OTA - no signal at all on the outdoor antenna and a badly pixelated picture on indoor (sometimes). Comes in OK on cable.

Yesterday in the heavy rain 12 was missing entirely and 3 was not watchable on OTA. Today, nice sunny day, no wind or dust 12 was again MIA on OTA.

I reviewed the AZ TV thread to see if something was up with their tower or perhaps someone forgot to put a quarter in the transmitter but nothing was significant.

I guess it is fortunate I don't watch 12 very often but wondering if they are letting OTA slide?
 
I wonder if they did something with their antenna. I've been getting them much better for a couple months now, including on my unamplified indoor antennas. Channels 15 and 45 have been more of a problem for me than 12 lately.
 
With the repack well underway, there is and will continue to be transmitters operating
at reduced power and/or lower on their South Mtn towers. That probably won't change
until the repack is completed.
