WBAY, WPNE back at reduced power, full repairs may take weeks
Over-the-air transmission of WBAY and WPNE resumed Saturday evening, but only at about 25 percent of normal power. But repairs necessary to bring both broadcasters back to normal operation may be delayed at least two weeks, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
WBAY station officials tell the newspaper that equipment necessary to complete repairs won't ship for two weeks. Until repairs are made, viewers beyond about 45 miles of the Scray's Hill transmitter tower may not receive a signal.
While WBAY was able to establish feeds of its three channels to area pay TV providers, WPNE was dark on Time Warner Cable on Saturday. A national feed of PBS was put in WPNE's place temporarily, though WPNE's two digital subchannels remain unavailable.
