Question

Just now I can't get WTTW (WOW channel 205) on my tv. It's just a blank gray screen. Also, a few other channels. Anyone else having this issue? Could it be the floods causing it?  

Answer 1

If any channels are transmitted through Sears/willis tower, the hole building had a power outage yesterday. I know there were radio stations affected

Answer 2

Ok in Aurora with Comcast

Comments

@quantifier4623 Same (“OK”) in Naperville with Comcast.  

Answer 3

Yes! WTTW, WWME, WCIU. have been out all day on Dish network. The screen is a messege saying that they're aware that that station is temporarily unavailable and theyll have it back asap. Maybe something with a contract renewal?  

Comments

Yes, I got that as well on DISH for several stations.  

Answer 4

Probably contract expired and they don’t want to pay for the higher price.  

Answer 5

Comcast is out in parts of Naperville they are trying to fix before 6am

Answer 6

All broadcast (over the airwaves) channels are sent out by about half a dozen transmission towers in the Chicagoland/Rockford/Joliet area. One or more of them may been down because all this rain caused flooding in the building were these transmitters are located.  

Comments

Yes this is correct as I have a over the air antenna and my channels are out as well.

Answer 7

Yes. besides the channels listed already, we can't get channel 2. Wide Open West is our provider.
