WLOS Channel 13 Moves To Pinnacle Mountain

Yeah, Charlotte is deep in a null of their directional antenna.

WNCW on 88.7 does ok here in the Gaffney area despite the somewhat stronger adjacent signal on WNSC 88.9. Spindale ain't too far, neither is Rock Hill.

Decent signal on 88.7 down to Greenville,
yet 88.9 starts to get weak going thru Spartanburg.

When Sinclair proposed the move to Pinnacle, it found that only 272 people in Union County, Georgia, would be left without coverage from an ABC affiliate on a contour basis. WATE-TV and WJHL-TV serve the remainder.

I remember WATE being NBC. But I think I remember a change to another network. For WJHL, I don't. It was CBS.

WLOS had longstanding issues with coverage in South Carolina. In the 1990s it ran what is now WMYA as a semi-satellite and briefly gave it a South Carolina–specific 6pm newscast.

WAIM was ABC and CBS when I was in the area where TV Guide included Greenville.
 
WLOS can now be received much better in Spartanburg County on RF13. But in many areas you can also pull in ABC on WSOC-TV Channel 9 from Charlotte. Either their main RF19 signal or their Crowder's Mountain translator on RF12. At my location, I receive both WSOC signals. But it requires a bit of strategic work for optimum antenna placement and possible use of an amplifier. The other Charlotte signals are much stronger, blasting in full strength just like a true local channel. Most notably WBTV channel 3, WJZY channel 46, and WCNC channel 36. A bit ironic that WSOC's secondary station WAXN-TV64 is stronger than the main Channel 9 signal. But this is because they share the same strong signal as WBTV, as part of the NextGen TV lighthouse agreement.
