Ok, but does anyone know when WWLP - 22 Analog will shut down? they started the sunset operations at 11:35 pm on 2/17 and I thought it was for a month or do they mean 30 days which I guess would be tonight? I want to know as I'm still without WGBY as the signal on 58 is awful and I'm hoping the different antenna pattern and wattage will make a difference, I just hope it's not like WWLP 11 digital, which I almost never get. I have no trouble with WGGB digital 55 which is a very strong signal (weren't they supposed to move back to 40 on 3/5/09? what happened to that? and I hope I don't lose them when they do) So I know Springfield reception is possible.
