Re: Just a picture of an old TV

Carmine,

That's a very good picture on your Zenith TV, even if you are only receiving over-the-air signals now--and even if the HV is acting up. My question: How far are you from the TV transmitters serving Detroit, which are in Southfield, Michigan? I live in northeastern Ohio, 30 miles east of Cleveland, but I used to get every Detroit TV station in the summer before I got cable, which is why I know where the Detroit stations' transmitters are--I used to get up at 5 a. m. just to watch the stations sign on!

Since I like NBC-TV programming (even some of today's prime-time offerings), my favorite Detroit station was always WDIV-TV [formerly WWJ, now CBS channel 62]. Since I still use an antenna on my stereo and all the other FM radios in my apartment, I also get quite a few Detroit FM stations when the band opens up in the summer, especially now that I live within a half-mile of the south shore of Lake Erie, not to mention every 50kw Detroit AM station, including CKLW and WJR.
