April 9:
>>Four Greater Boston TV stations are racing to repair a mysterious malfunction that knocked them off the air on Sunday night....While WBZ, WSBK, and WGBX are still off the air, WCVB has resumed broadcasting at lower power through an auxiliary antenna.
Also the following from ch 5
http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/30895933/detail.html
>>There may be a short interruption of WCVB-TV's over-the-air signal while repairs are made to our broadcast antenna Sunday morning. As the repairs are underway, there may also be reduced broadcast reception for some viewers, as well. A likely transmission line or antenna fault at the Needham community tower site took many Boston broadcast stations off the air last Sunday evening.

They look fine here in Somerville, with an indoor antenna. I'm on the side of a SSE to SSW facing hill.
Fybush has details; the problem won't be an easy fix (power divider). He explains why Ch 2 was "odd man out" etc.
