WYYW expected to be back on air today

Station flipped call signs with WTSN, received power boost

UPDATE, 5:05 p.m. WEDNESDAY ― WYYW is back on the air.

The second of Evansville Low Power Partnership's two TV stations is expected to return to the air sometime today after a month-long absence, meaning over-the-air viewers will need to do a rescan in order to pick up the station.

WYYW-CD (which will be on channel 15.1) swapped call signs with sister WTSN-CD (ch. 20.1) last month, and when it goes back on, it will have been upgraded to the same 15kW effective radiated power and roughly the same coverage area as its sister station.

There may be other changes coming to both WYYW and WTSN going forward as well. There have been hints on the stations' Facebook page of additional programming options being explored, among other things, but I've received no confirmation of anything definite at this point.

Stay tuned ...

WTSN and WYYW switch channels

What was once one is now the other, and vice-versa

The Evansville Low Power Partnership's two Me-TV affiliated stations have switched call signs - again.

WTSN-CD, which was on Channel 36, is now on Channel 20, and WYYW-CD, which was on channel 20, will return to the air on Channel 15 (as I had previously reported would be the case with WTSN).

The switch, which was made official by the FCC on Wednesday, isn't the first for the two stations: They also played switcheroo on Channels 36 and 41 back in 2009 before WYYW got its current call sign.

It's still not known when what is now WYYW-CD will be ready on Channel 15.  They're waiting for the tower company to move the antenna at the transmitter site in Warrick County.  When it's all done, WYYW will match WTSN's 15 kW effective radiated power and coverage area.
