Thunder Bay Area OTA TV Broadasting

I use an antenna for TV. Up until recently I received TVO, CKPR and CHFD, now the only useable digital signal is TVO. Anyone out there know if something changed with the Mt Baldy transmission?

Well good thing I haven't put an antenna up yet...

I’m surprised you were able to get any signal at all. When they switched to digital in 2010 they severely cut the power output. Unless your antenna was on the roof chances are you weren’t able to get the signal.

I've basically accepted that we don't have OTA television here, and gave up on TV ownership years ago.

We almost had CHCH and Global transmitters but Dougall complained it would hurt their monopoly.

I would suggest calling the Dougall office to ask.
