Some people far away may still not recieve it anymore, like us here in Augusta.
:( (Now we get just PBS and FOX.)

WABI TV5 and The CW Begin VHF Broadcasting December 13

WABI Officially a VHF Station
http://www.wabi.tv/news/16369/wabi-officially-a-vhf-station

As of two this afternoon WABI TV 5 is a VHF television station.

If you are a cable or satellite TV subscriber, it should make no difference.

But anyone who currently receives channels 5.1 and 5.2 with an antenna, needs to unhook the antenna and re-scan their converter box or TV set, then hook the antenna back up and re-scan again to continue to get our stations.

Our channel numbers will not change on your TV sets.
For assistance visit www.wabi.tv or call 947-8321.

1. Moving back to VHF? What morons.
WMTW tried that down here in Portland and they had to put up a UHF repeater for the city.

2. VHF works better for those of us who live in the sticks.
Time to buy an antenna and give it a try. Maybe now, I can convince my wife to get rid of cable.
