2.2, 2.3, 4.1, 4.2, 25.1, 25.2, 25.3, 44.2, 44.3, 44.4 disappeared

Eli Polonsky

This evening at about 7:45 PM, virtual channels 2.2, 2.3, 4.1, 4.2, 44.2, 44.3, and 44.4 disappeared over the air on my set in Somerville.

About an hour later, 25.1, 25.2, 25.3 disappeared.

I was still getting 2.1, 44.1, and everything else from the 128 antenna farm, the LD's in Boston, and stations from Hudson and WJAR Providence, so it's not a reception issue on my end.

I had to go out shortly after so I don't know whether they've come back on, but WBZ tweeted this: "WBZ-TV is experiencing a problem with the over-the-air signal problem. Thanks for your patience". Must have been tweeted by their department of redundancy department.

I'm hearing there was an antenna problem at the ex-candelabra tower, and my understanding was that it also affected WCVB as well as WBZ, WGBX and WFXT. And if WGBX was off, that means the 15.x WYCN (now WBTS) subchannels would have been off, too. WBZ, WCVB and WGBX/WBTS are all temporarily on the ex-candelabra while more repack work is being done over on Cedar Street.

I'm not sure whether WSBK, which hasn't repacked yet, is on the ex-candelabra tower or on Cedar Street.

The WGBX signal right now (Sunday evening) is much lower in level than the others, which all seem normal at this time.

I forgot to include 15.1 and 15.2 in my list of channels that were off the air last night.
