Anyone know when the Syracuse, NY WSYR-9 will be avail?

I was wondering the same thing about Albany WXXA-23.

I was wondering the same thing about Albany WXXA-23.

An earlier post speculated two weeks. I don't know what the delay is for. Most stations uplinked with WXXA have already gone live I believe.

I live in Abilene, TX and still only receive KTXS in HD OTA.

I don't know if it is true of other Newport stations, but WXXA had a bit of drama this past week and that *may* have distracted it from being turned on. The management announced they would complete their digital transition, then on Monday announced they would wait. Management and engineers may have been elsewhere focused - I don't know what Dish needs from local engineering to go live. JUST SPECULATION on my part as to a possible reason for delay.
