DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 10/30/2024

[KyL416]

Augusta is still down, along with WVVA Bluefield and WHNS Greenville. Some of the Augusta stations are back on air, however DTV's receive facility for the DMA is surrounded by outages on the GPC map.

WCYB (NBC/CW) and WEMT (FOX) in the Tri-Cities TN-VA went out this morning after their tower lost power.

EDIT: WVVA returned to air at around 3:06pm ET, although it took another hour or so for regular programming to resume on the main NBC channel

Are/were the Knoxville stations affected?

 

[KyL416]

The Knoxville locals are all on air, that area was mostly affected by flooding.

The Augusta area was hit when Helene still had hurricane force winds, which knocked down a lot of power lines and trees.

NBCS Chicago has signed off air at 1 AM ET, Xfinity pulled the plug 1 hour earlier

[KyL416]

The Augusta locals returned at around noon, but WRDW (CBS) and WCES (GPB) are still down.

WHNS Greenville is also still off air.

The Augusta locals returned at around noon, but WRDW (CBS) and WCES (GPB) are still down.

WHNS Greenville is also still off air.

WLOS Asheville may drop soon too. According to online posts their generator is getting low on fuel at the transmitter site.

 

[KyL416]

DIRECTV's local receive facility for the market is in Greenville, so they're likely ingesting WLOS from their Paris Mountain repeater W31DY-D instead of the main signal.

[starchild]

Could the test channels be related to the recent Disney agreement?

 

[KyL416]

It's mostly just a bunch of Ku Offline test records, no evidence of what they are for yet. Many times they never go live and just exist to test guide data mappings or some other features like interactive experiences or VOD links.

 

[KyL416]

For fans of the Panthers, Mavericks, Kraken, Golden Knights and "Hockey Club", the following Tegna and Scripps independent stations are now testing on the stream server:
KMPX/29 Dallas (Mavericks) -- Switching to English and rebranding to KFAA on 10/20
WSFL/39 Miami (Panthers)
KASW/61 Phoenix (Golden Knights/Utah Hockey Club)
KONG/16 Seattle (Kraken)
KWBA/58 Tucson (Golden Knights/Utah Hockey Club)
WHDT/59 West Palm Beach (Panthers)

Salt Lake City's KJZZ/14 (Jazz) and KUPX/16 (Hockey Club), Phoenix's KAZF/32 (Sun/Mercury) and Vegas's KMCC/34 (Golden Knights) are already available to stream for sat customers


Also, WHNS Greenville returned at around 7:38pm. Augusta's WRDW (CBS) and WCES (GPB) are still down. No TV stations have filed anything, but several radio stations in Florida, South Carolina and Georgia lost their towers during Helene

 

[KyL416]

There's a new College Football Saturday Mix on channels 205-1 and 600-1

It uses the same TPN slot on 103ca as the secondary NFL Game Mix on channel 9553

 

[KyL416]

If Milton keeps its current projected track and strength, the severe weather channels will be back on either Tuesday Night or Wednesday Morning.

 

[TheRatPatrol]

KASW/61 Phoenix (Golden Knights/Utah Hockey Club)

KyL - so both teams will be on channel 61 in the Phoenix area? What if both teams are playing on the same night? I’m not seeing any games scheduled in the guide yet. Thanks

 

[KyL416]

If there's a conflict one of the teams gets bumped to KNXV 15.2
