THIS JUST IN: WOIO Channel 24


NOTE: To clear up any confusion, this is an ADDITIONAL translator fill-in channel for WOIO. The current operation on RF channel 10 will stay on the air, unless they find another permanent home for it...

Thanks to a reader tip, we now know what Raycom Media CBS affiliate WOIO/19 wants to do (at least temporarily) to fix its reception problems, particularly in the Akron area.

The station has applied to the FCC for a digital replacement translator on RF channel 24, an 11 kW facility which would be located at the Akron facility which houses ION Media O&O WVPX/23 and a number of area radio outlets.

We don't have much time to go into detail, so dig into it yourself at the station's technical exhibit on the FCC website...

Based on the maps i've seen, the WOIO-24 ahould cover most of Summit and Stark County very well..

Let's hope that WOIO gets this done.

They could feel free to bring WUAB along with them as both stations need help in this part of the viewing area.
