No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

WTMJ-DT down, not quite out

by @ 18:05 on June 19, 2009. Filed under Miscellaneous.

For those of you who get your TV through antennas or satellite, WTMJ-DT went off the air about 12:20 am this morning, and is still off its normal digital channel (if memory serves, physical channel 27). For a short while, it also affected Time Warner subscribers and for a longer time, it affected Charter subscribers, but they managed to get a hard-wire solution.

In the meantime, Journal Broadcast and Weigel Broadcasting, which runs WDJT-DT/WMLW-CA/WBME-DT, has made arrangements to put a standard-definition signal on one of its WBME-DT subchannels, channel 49-2.

Related to that, WTMJ is the only private Milwaukee station that is able to run weather updates in HD. Hey WITI, WISN and WDJT – get off your duffs.

Revisions/extensions (8:38 pm 6/19/2009) – As capper points out in the comments, the on-air version of WTMJ-DT is back.
