Help ID: shopping on ch 69, Mid-Atlantic

S

snoqualmie7

Need help with an ID.

This morning in Richmond, VA received Channel 69 carrying some sort of continuous Shopping programming. Can't identify the exact network (SAH, HSC, etc.) Only break from shopping was for a few commercials (including one for PeoplePC but nothing local) at 7:58, then back to shopping with no ID.

Other catches this morning are from Baltimore/Washington, Salisbury, MD, Atlantic City, and Lancaster, PA, so the opening is pretty directional to the N/NE.
Searched w9wi.com. Initially thought it was WFMZ Allentown, PA, but their schedule indicated non-shopping programming. Any ideas what else this might be?
Thanks in advance for any help...

More than likely what you picked up was WPTG-LP out of Pittsburgh, PA there format is SAH/mtv2

This is on the W9WI database but it is under the low power stations. The stations are grouped by Full Power, Low Power, and also translator and canadian stations. What kind of antenna do you use at your place? <P ID="signature">______________

Hey DXER1, thanks for your post.
I actually noticed WPTG-LP after I made my post...but I was skeptical that I could really pickup a low power station from Pittsburgh, espscially when I wasn't getting anything else from there (in fact I've never logged ANY Pittsburgh stations). I'm just using a silver sensor (don't laugh too hard!). Do you think that could pick up an LP from over 240 miles? Everything else seems to fit...

If you are correct, then this becomes my farthest catch (just started this year)
Let me know...
