ABC New Orleans Gone?

[JoelA]

Can't seem to pick up ABC New Orleans any longer on SB6. Anyone else have the same problem here in the northeast?

signal comes and goes alot due to the weather down there

Tony,

I tried a manual scan with no luck. I then did a blind scan and the 11724 FR never showed during the scan, but when the FRs were checked it showed "no channel."
I was looking for a PID change, which has happened a few times with these channels, but now I don't know.

Have to cut grass now, will check it later.

huh

very possible they are gone. I know the station was ready to move into their new studio soon (I got that update from someone) so its possible they cut the feed on satellite as they probably are fibred now.

I suspect the ABC and other N.O. feeds we saw that where avail on Satellite KU for New Orleans where just temporary anyways, these where setup after Katrina to get their feeds to D* and E* and to Cable companies (those that still where operating) so I suspect we'd see these go away anyways once they got their OTA plant 100% functioning and fiber and other delivery methods repaired.

I agree with Matt. Remember when the Lake Charles NBC station was on for period of time because their tower was damaged. Once they fixed it they disappeared from satellite.

Cool, I thought I was the only one. I'll mis seeing there news. Nobody outside the city will cover the news like they do.

 

[Mr Tony]

Might be able to get "official" verification of the status of these uplinks soon. If so, I will post the info here.
