Why WOIO is low low low power.
From the Ohio Media Watch site...
"WOIO has two answers to questions about this untenable situation:
1) "We applied for a power increase." Well, they did, from 3.5 kW to 10.3 kW, but it's being held up by Canadian coordination issues.
You think? Really? Wow, what a surprise! Gee, we wonder why?
Considering that London ONT powerhouse CFPL is also sitting on 10 (analog right now, they'll keep 10 for digital whenever that happens), what were Raycom corporate engineers thinking by insisting on a RF 10 digital facility for WOIO? What were they smoking?
Didn't they realize that before their digital facility first tuned up, in-market viewers along Lake Erie were able to watch CFPL *IN THE CLEVELAND MARKET* with little difficulty?
Didn't they know that CFPL was so strong in eastern Cuyahoga County, it was carried on local cable in that part of the area?
Someone has to tell CBS about this."
