About over the air television reception * in a specific area ? *
NC RTP area
I am unable to get UNC tv over the air all of the sudden .
Im pretty sure it was fine last night ( Friday) but as of today I just have a black screen . I have rescanned and no difference .
2 tvs on 2 different OTA antennas , same results . I have contacted UNC tv via email but chances are I wont hear back until Monday
Just curious if any one in the * same area * is seeing the same . Id ask around but most everyone I know is on cable/streaming etc
Thanks

(99,531 posts)Yesterday, I think, that reported that the state has detached from PBS meaning they will no longer air PBS at all. I think it may have been your state.
I don't have a citation but I did see it on DU. I am fighting a head cold so I'm not on top of much right now, but you might do some kind of search on that and find your answer.

(27,695 posts)I think my issue was a broadcasting fluke
is funny that I sent them an email and then within 1 hour it resolved

(99,531 posts)For the correction, I couldn't remember exactly which state it was.
Perhaps someone forgot to push a button ar click on verification on the programming computer and when you sent the email they were alerted to the problem. I used to have to send email to the NPR station in Idaho several times a year because someone didn't double check before leaving the programming site.
When I was in broadcasting, in college, I used to close the place down and had to make sure the program schedule automation was turned on before I left or I would get a call around 5am asking where the news was. I never got one of those calls but I know the college up the road had a regular issue with that.
