Es for sure yet only matches TMJ 1416 2 NBC in clearer now, b/w without sound, NBC logo bottom left is flashing with a bottom flip-banner (not a quiz show) banner says "FOREVER YOUNG" and the name of a person... and something else 3 more of a mess with shadows and looked like man at a desk - WEDU? 5 still blank 6 still blank 1418 2 NBC very good during ads 1419 3 bad shadows with ads at same time as 2, one is a shadow of a Mannwich ad 1421 3 almost out now with b/w shadows and flickers, another sound briefly in (not local) 1422 3 ABC logo seen with shadows b/w very good over local, then local back with colour and fades - ABC soaps KIII and KATC both have One Life To Live at this time - skip seems quite short today, so probably KATC 1423 4 out - had been steady same as before (likely TMJ local) 2 Es but not much of a picture 3 offset shadows, but local quite strong 1425 move antenna closer toward Houston 2 still the same as before; extreme CCI without a picture 3 still the same as before - weaker local with shadows over top 1426 2 breaking in with a picture that looks like a PBS almost, not a soap, but only flickers in with man at desk KACV PBS has the "Donna Dewberry Show" Elegant Table episode; likely this is it 1429 3 almost stable b/w poor now with center having edge of picture line from skip 1430 4 Montel b/w without sound but clear logo and picture for under a minute, but NO MATCHES for this time slot - WDAF Kansas City matches!!! 1430 2 Bob Ross painting b/w with clear audio, bad picture, but stable - this is KACV's "Best of the Joy of Painting": Oval Barn 1430 2 Tyra logo b/w after Bob Ross then Bob Ross yet again - NO MATCH for Tyra either! - (later: KTVI St Louis is a match - 1pm CT!!! Short skip!) 1434 2 Daystar in strong with perfect sound, good colour, and clear logo upper right 2 flipping between 3 stations - Daystar, Tyra, and Bob Ross all clearly seen; no sound except Daystar (KACV, KTVI, KDTN) 3 stable local in colour now 1435 2 Tyra in STRONG with CC and logo and Channel 2 logo bottom right, great!!! - still no program match though (later matched to KTVI) 2 flipping around between Daystar and Tyra 1437 3 is ALL CCI now 4 is in with b/w picture with what looked like news promo, then a soap; neither a CBS nor ABC match (That leaves only: WOAI/WTMJ Days of Our Lives & KCNC Bold and the Beautiful - thinking it's local TMJ) 1441 2 group sitting in chairs talking, with banner on lower screen not moving but just flipping; looks like NBC logo... 2 audio saying "Today on Breakthrough" (Daystar program match) - still all Daystar audio (was previously preaching)... but the ladies in chairs has no sound and the picture is never clear enough to read the words - is the NBC Today Show KJRH (late edition) 3 all CCI with a little local breaking through 2 very good in b/w and colour and perfect audio but during commercials... 1446 4 faint soap in on/off 3 stable local b/w with sound and some minor CCI on/off 2 less stable now that commercials are finished (naturally) 2 NBC stable on/off finally with good colour and sound showing "Let The Cooke Decide" talking about Bill Clinton Bill and trying food NBC flashing logo with the banner that says "GUIDING LIGHT" (likely pre-empted) - this was the women talking; Houston likely Guiding Light soap opera is a CBS show... but there was an NBC logo CLEARLY - what the hell IS this? (later: This is KJRH Today Show) 1452 move the antenna further toward the west 2 CCI-filled picture b/w with some pictures and audio 2 NBC very good perfect sound and blurry, yet quite clear NBC picture during commercials, back to "Cooke" then instantly multiple NBC promos (all one) 1455 3 CCI b/w, local logo under CCI... no distant pic 5 had been in and 4 too when antenna turned, but now out 2 NBC silverdollarcity.com ad (Branson MO) on NBC then straight into Montel (see next) - KJRH 1457 Montel starting at 1457 (my clocks must be off) - KJRH Tulsa (program match also) 1458 2 NBC PERFECT MONTEL!! Light blur, but otherwise perfect! - KJRH, impressive!! 1459 2 perfect audio of a soap broke in briefly under near perfect Montel picture (KJRH) - WBRZ, KMID, WBAY only soap matches - likely KMID, reluctant to believe this is a local with perfect audio... and KMID is on the exact path of the antenna and Tulsa 3 is all CCI 4 nothing at all 5 CBS b/w parallel to local 9, likely Green Bay - KFSM is also a match in this general area (all have the same schedule), am going with Es over local here (on direct antenna bearing) 1506 4 in with talk show 6 in but with local radio 3 all CCI 2 now all CCI 1508 4 big logo full screen just when changing channel but wasn't paying great deal of attention... then the Montel logo this is either WOAI or WTMJ - WOAI almost sure, because TMJ logo would have been far more familiar, and this one was italic like WOAI 1508 looks like skip moved 2 in but rough viewing of Ellen show - KNOP and KSNC are the only Ellen matches - quite localized so almost certainly KSNC here (see Ch 3 below for confirmation on location) 4 looked like WKTI ad... this is Montel... 94.5 ALL DAY full screen, stable with no sound b/w - almost sure thing, program match TMJ 1511 2 Montel back in again with perfect sound, good picture with extreme CCI too - KJRH still 1513 3 PBS stable screen near PERFECT b/w fundraising 800-337-4788, self-ID "SHTP," CC - AWESOME! - KSWK match 1514 3 PBS back in with color on/off - recording; CBS audio in back (same as 9), local likely - both are Guiding Light 1517 5 CBS same as 9, stable b/w, likely Green Bay 1530 5 orange/red "FR" logo in bottom left, color, sound, very good, then local CBS back poor b/w - KREX logo is closest match, but think it was a show logo [6/24 edit: FR is "RR" Rachael Ray, but no match!] 1532 3 all CCI with some local CBS in back 2 storm tracker on bottom left: a square with counties in white, warning in yellow showing Ellen very good in colour - KNOP/KSNC storms have been training over Nebraska with little over Kansas, so this is obviously KNOP (and KSNC was just in and didn't match this at all) 1537 2 all CCI, no real pictures... 3 all CCI, no real pictures... 4 is local TMJ 6 is local FOX 1538 move antenna further toward west 2 has a picture now 3 local but still with CCI and no sound, barely a picture at all 4 through 6 are all locals now 1541 3 cartoons?? - probably: KFME has Maya & Miguel "The Video," KENW has "Clifford and the Big Red Dog," KLNE has "Super WHY!" 1541 2 ABC very faint soap, parallel to local 13 (KMID and WBAY both match) ... which? Already had both in anyway. too much CCI on all channels; not enough picture 1542 moving antenna back toward southwest 1543 moving antenna toward Colorado 3 b/w stable (local) with perfect sound, very little CCI 2 all CCI with almost no picture 1544 move antenna further toward Houston 1545 2 almost blank, very little CCI at all 3 CBS local, no CCI 5 CBS local Green Bay 1546 turn antenna toward SSE 3 CBS perfect local 2 faint signal showing a single man on the screen - maybe WPBT? (but barely visible) 5 showing __ Cross (or Crossings)... b/w in without sound - thought it was Green Bay; not matching CBS locals - WMAQ has Merv Griffin's Crosswords (KXAS too - and likely this (see later for KFSM on 5)) 1551 antenna facing southeast now, all channels are the same as before, except 5 is now out 1553 antenna is facing east and northeast and all are the same or worse 2 something in faint facing northeast, maybe off the back of antenna? 1556 antenna is facing north 2 still in faint, or CCI now... with movie credits scrolling fast down screen!! - black screen with white text (pretty sure it's a movie; or end of Guiding Light?) 1559 antenna is as far north as it can go on the rotor 2 still faintly in with picture - what the hell? maybe from the northwest instead? 1607 antenna facing approximately northeast and blank Channel 2 jumps every now and then - nothing to be seen though just before moving rotor, signal in on 2... in decent b/w without sound... two people talking standing up - no local matches 1610 turn antenna back toward the southeast (local) - all normal except 5 5 b/w no sound but stable Dr. Phil? - QUITE sure that's him in the static, moderate signal - KFSM/KRGV but not WNEM - sticking with KFSM 'cause KRGV is far further than any skip today 1620 antenna is now facing toward the southwest 2 has light CCI but no picture though 3 is poor b/w local but no CCI really 1621 antenna aiming due west now 2 PBS picture with CCI "2 PBS" logo full screen - a 2 then the PBS head logo a few times but not seeing any logo matches to it - KUSD most likely 1625 antenna now facing toward the northwest 2 PBS looks like very faint PBS, nothing else - actually looks like Dr. Phil on the screen interviewing a guest; this is certainly a talk show and certainly him WBRZ has Dr. Phil as well as KPRC, but this is WBAY's match almost for sure 1628 antenna moves to due west with E-skip on 2 through 5 2 no sound b/w, but good picture 3 unknown with local 3 very poor to almost out 5 CBS local Green Bay showing "Temptation" game show; some sound, b/w stable 4 likely local TMJ with a flicker - likely no Es here 1632 2 CCI-free with Green Bay likely in back 1633 antenna facing toward the southwest now 2 Judge Judy b/w with no sound... this is WBBM Take break to ID stations as Es fades out 1847 2 PBS to the southwest - news interview, looks more like APT, widescreen, talking of Africa, etc with snippets of sound "Viewers Like You" and 1-800-492-..11 "WGBH"!!!!! 1853 spin antenna toward Boston, which was coming in strong off the back of the antenna - HUGE surprise!!!! 2 PBS WGBH very good in colour with perfect sound!! 1854 4 CBS Evening News in stable very good b/w with on/off sound - This is WBZ 6 CBS Evening News, same as 3, 4, 9 right now, but obviously just local WLNS turn antenna just a little bit in each direction toward east 2 PBS good b/w picture with "on GBH 2" ID 1910 turn antenna all around from northeast through southwest and nothing other than GBH good b/w in various spots 1915 giving up and back to IDing other stations now 1945 no Es noted on Ch 2 or others toward east or south... looks like it finally gave in. Whoo! 2254 not quite gone...
