WRGB-DT Question

I'm going to be in western Massachusetts over the holiday weekend. Where I'm staying, the management uses an antenna for over-the-air broadcasting and a dish for "cable" outlets. Last July, CBS was a no-show because WRGB-DT had flipped from channel 39 to VHF channel 6. I notice that WRGB has an application for a power boost to 30KW. Does anybody know if this has happened yet, and if so, did it make any difference?
 
Here in the Poughkeepsie area I get WRGB on channel 6 pretty good, although there are occasional cut-outs. I haven't noticed any change in power. They were better on channel 39. I just discovered the other day, however, that WRGB (SD) also appears on WCWN (43) on sub-channel 45.3. So WRGB is available on a UHF channel.
 
Thanks for that tip about channel 45. I was able to watch "60 Minutes" on 45.3 while channel 6 was a no-show, as it was last summer also.
