Antennaweb is worth a revisit. They have updated their output to include
a lot of post-transition changes, although they still list the date as
17 Feb. How confusing. I know for a fact that some of those 17 Feb
changes won't occur until 12 June.

It's still overly conservative, though, whereas the FCC site is quite
good. At my location, anyway.

Imagine my deep chagrin when this new station didn't materialize. What?
Could everything "they" have been saying be true?

Well, in spite of what the FCC tool claims, this new channel is not
going to be available at my location until after the real transition,
i.e. June 12. It is taking over the channel now occupied by a Baltimore
analog station that's delaying analog shutoff. *And* it promises to be
another one of those fun independent stations with eclectic
international programming.

Anticipation is always the best part ...
