Besides the Toronto viewer who picked up WWL, a friend of Harper's in Waco, Tex., some 90 miles south of Dallas, was able to receive WFAA's digital signal Friday. Harper attributes some of that to WFAA's power boost and new circularly polarized antenna.
"He was picking up WFAA crystal clear, and he hadn't seen its digital prior, nor its analog signal," he says.
Since WWL is the "nightlight" station for the New Orleans market and continues to broadcast analog signals, it's possible that the station's new viewer in Toronto is still receiving the signal, if the atmospheric conditions are right. READ THE REST
The flip side is that in some markets, the intended audience cannot always pick up the new digital signal. On an unrelated note, I think Craig Harper of Belo (the person in the above story) went to Baylor. Seems I remember his name being floated around.
