Early channel jump here: One of the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton stations WVIA, shut down their RF channel 41, and piggy-backed onto WNEP's channel 50, which already had 3 subs.

The powerful transmitter for WNEP is on 2000-foot Penobscot Mountain along I-81 but still over 80 miles away, yet 41, 45 and 50 are stable using a 4-bay or moderate Yagi on my garage. My Samsung SIRT-451 STB automatically added 16-4,-6,-7 as soon as I punched in "50".

Jeff, Maybe there is hope for WOIO abandoning their troublesome VHF in favor odf one that reaches out better.
