When you come at the Harv, you best not miss

Unless they are only running on low test power, the new 8.2 and 60.2 (assuming I have that right) cannot be picked up over-the-air in most places. Converter box scans also miss them.

I'm in Roslindale and only about 6 miles (if that) line of sight from the Needham Antenna Farm and I get nothing. On a good day with a little elevation I can see the tops fo the antennas as well. Granted I do not have an amplified antenna on the facing side of the house - don't need one for the rest of the channels I watch. On the other side I do have an amplified unit and that is not getting anything.

The interest by Government in this lack of over-the-air lack of signal is well placed, but it is an argument they should have been engaged-in much earlier in the process.

Worse thing they ever did was deregulate.

Then there’s the StormRanger, which NBC Boston will share with its sister stations in Hartford and New York.

Thankfully Global Warming Climate Change seems to have greatly reduced U.S. hurricane strikes but what happens in the rare event one hits the northeast or the much more likely blizzard or heavy snowstorm?

Does the StormRanger park in NYC, race to Hartford, then to Boston on treacherous roads as the storm moves north? That's risky. There are plenty of large storms that can be producing bad weather in NYC, Hartford and Boston at the same time. With NYC being the larger market, wouldn't it stay there if all three areas were being hit? Seems like an odd arrangement.

It's amusing that WCVB is actually bragging about having a weatherman reading the news. If I were wrong in my job with anything like the frequency of the typical meteorologist, I'd be getting fired every week. Just the kind of guy I want telling me the news, right?

These larded-up SUVs, and the bragging about them, are the most ridiculous waste of energy in local broadcasting today.
