I don't quite understand how OTA TV can be so bad in Gainesville. Maybe
there's hope, because there are lots of translators there, and new ones
on the way, it seems.
Within a 30 mile radius of the U of F, rabbit ear range, I only get four
DTT stations:
WCJB-DT ABC 344 KW 10.5 mi 214 deg
WGFL-DT CBS 168 KW 16.5 mi 262 deg
WUFT-DT PBS 1 MW 6.4 mi 300 deg
WOGX-DT Fox 500 KW 21.0 mi 184 deg
But I count 15 translators, either operating or new, that must be there
for more than just religious programming? And they will have to go
digital too, at some point.
For NBC, you supposedly have to go all the way to Daytona Beach, 79
miles away. Surely, a few of the 15 translators can go to NBC, CW, and
MNT??
Maybe I see why Craig thinks there's no option. What's the deal with
Gainesville, anyway?
