What's going on with WVUA?

I know that the this TV network was shutting down. I also know I'm not in a great signal location anymore and VHF Low is not the best frequency for digital TV. But I could always get a somewhat reliable signal from them, and now checking three TVs and three antennas, I get nothing.
Not only that, but Spectrum cable apparently isn't receiving their signal either and has this warning even though there's still a programming guide with the this logo on screen. WVUA's website and social media seem to be carrying on like nothing is out of the ordinary.

Looks like they're back on the air and Spectrum cable once again. Surprisingly, even though I haven't changed my TV or antenna, I'm getting all the channels I used to get up on Red Mountain and then some. I'll have to check up on all the subchannels and update them.
 
It's crazy, I haven't changed the antenna - one of those flat panels stuck in the window, an apartment special - or the TV, a 2010-era Vizio I got when I cleaned out my parents' house, but suddenly all the channels I lost are back and then some.

Alright, here's that update I got around to doing.
9.1 was blank, the previous night it was just a freeze frame from some show with the WNHT 4 logo in the corner, so I'm gonna assume technical issues
9.2 is OAN Plus
9.3 is AWE Plus
9.4 is the WJLD audio with in-studio camera in glorious black and white

19.1 shows up as WOTM-1 on PSIP, if there's a -2 I'm not seeing it

22.7 is now Greater Love TV

23.1 is back on the air with COZI, 23.4 is a weather map, 23.2 and 23.3 are both off the air

33.2 is Catchy Comedy but the PSIP still shows Decades

35.6 and 35.7 are both off, but the other five flavors of home shopping remain (thank God! ;))

46.1 is now NBT
46.3 is now Defy
46.5 is blank
46.7 is now NBC American Crimes which replaced LX Home
 
That's quite a lot of changes, thanks for posting all that.

It doesn't surprise me that WNHT-LD would be changing things around if it's associated with WBQP in Pensacola. Every time I point my antenna towards them I find their lineup is either changed or half the channels are frozen or just a VLC for Windows error screen, lol. It's a hot mess.
 
You're welcome. Love the work you do.

I just did a rescan on the bedroom TV when I saw that Spectrum was once gain receiving signal from WVUA and suddenly channels were popping up all over the place. I rescanned my other TV's and did not get the bonanza of reruns, preachers, and teleshopping.
