WYBE Channel 35 missing
- Thread starter cyber
- Start date
I wondered the same thing. It has been off the air in the past, but with all the PCness going around, my guess is that The Trump administrationand FCC don't want fair and balanced news to air, instead forcing most americans to get news through the propagandized media we were starting to avoid. My hope is that WYBE is just doing more unannounced work on the station, and forgetting that people actually watch. Keep news alive. Alternative reporting of real news matters.
Chemtrail talk aside, I imagine what happened is the awful wind we had knocked their transmitter to hell (awful weather has done it before to their equipment). With the FCC spectrum auction in full swing and Boston duopoly owner Ed Ansin already announcing he has sold the spectrum of his WLVI (CW 56) and will be moving it's programming to a sub channel of WHDH (former NBC affiliate until the beginning of this year when it became an indy), I wouldn't be surprised if the "technical difficulties" carry over until the auction ends in April and they can announce the end of the station.
They've held panels in the recent past with viewers asking about their viewership habits and whether or not they were aware that nearly all of their programming (NHK World, RT, France24) is available, for free, streaming over the internet. A major market full power station is sure to net them quite a chunk of change. It'd surely be a loss for viewers who aren't internet savvy (or who don't use the internet regularly [or at all] like the elderly), but I'm guessing the motto nowadays is either adapt or get left behind.

Hello, I found this thread while searching about the missing stations.I went to the MIND TV website and they said that the storm had knocked out their transmitter. They said that you can still get their programs through cable. I don't know if they will have on air signals again since "The only technology that the station has available is senescent." That's a fancy word for very old. Maybe this is a way to force people to get cable. I'll have to subscribe to NHK World, RT America and France 24 online to get my dose of alternative news. MIND TV does have a page of links to their news programs.
