A quick note for those of you with digital TV receivers...

Our new transmitter on Bald Rock Mountain went on the air this week on Channel 9. I checked it at my home this evening and the signal is picture perfect.

Like our digital signal over in Tuscaloosa county on Channel 5, we are providing live Pinpoint Doppler Radar 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the standard definition channel, 9.2.

So, to see live radar anytime, tune in to either WCFT-DT 5.2 from Birmingham west, or WJSU-DT 9.2 from Birmingham east.

The HDTV programming is awesome as well on the main digital channels.

Times are indeed changing in our industry.

I neighbor got one of those new High Def digital TV sets. It has a great picture watching DVD's. A while back we hooked an outdoor antenna to it and could not pick up any digital signal. I was told by someone at WTTO that they and others were broadcasting digital High def but only at low power. Whats the case with 33/40's?

I live in the Alabaster area and I have had the same reception problems with ABC 3340's digital signal. I get just enough of the HD signal to tease me then it goes away. What's the deal on the signal fluctuation? When. if ever, will it be strong enough in the Alabaster area? Do I qualify for one of those waivers so I can ask DirecTV to provide an ABC HD signal out of New York?

Thanks.
