Bowling Green News and More


- Posted May 15th, 2023 at 10:28am
First, I would like to say sorry that I haven't been posting any news lately. Between work and other things, I have let things go on here, but right now, I am posting about some updates to some Bowling Green channels. First bit of news is that WDNZ 11, awhile back, applied to the FCC to change channels from 11 to 8. That still hasn't been granted by the FCC yet, but Marquee Broadcasting, the owner of WNKY 40 and WNKY-LD, has now bought WDNZ. Thanks to Ron2020, he has found out the former owners, Daily News Broadcasting, is still operating the station at this time. When Marquee takes over, I do not know. When I find out any more about WDNZ, I will post about it. The second bit of news is about WNKY-LD 16. Now they have applied to change channels from 16 to 35 and broadcast, of course, at their Smiths Grove tower, where WNKY 40 broadcasts. It will be broadcasting at 15kw. Click here for their broadcasting range. In my opinion, this will be causing interference with the reception of WCTZ-LD 35, located in Nashville, for people located north and northeast of Nashville. It has not been, right now, granted by the FCC. When any more news comes out, I will post about it. Now, the last bit of Bowling Green news is about the channel 29 permit that Rick of WRTN holds. Because of WKGB operating on channel 29, he has applied to change channels from 29 to 26. Right now, that granted permit has an expiration date set in September. He can either bring it on the air or change something about it between now and then. Click here for their broadcasting range. I don't know if this will cause any interference with WNTU-LD 26 Nashville with people between Nashville and Bowling Green or not. I don't know, and again, if there is any more news about it, I will post it.

As far as I know right now, there is no news about Nashville channels. Also, I don't know when, but sometime in the future, I will be taking the time to overhaul this site, to update it, but I will try and keep the news flowing as it comes along. Thanks for everyone who has contributed news here. I really do appreciate it. Like always, until more news breaks, that's all for now.

Glad to see you had an update post to see what was going on in the Bowling Green market and I'm glad to see you update again after 2 months. I did not know that WNKY-LD and W35DZ will be on the same RF frequency. I think they will interfere so one channel will have to change based on the coverage of both channels at 15 KWs of power.

Nice updates. Glad you took a well needed break. :) I drove to Algood today to check out W14EE. It's got a pilot (RF) signal. But no symbol quality, or PSIP. So basically dead air. Not sure when they'll be up to 15kW. But right now, there is nothing but a raw signal.

I hope they get it up to 15 kW of power soon. Glad to see you checked it out.

I know here in Monroe county, WBKO has got a lot weaker lately but I can still get it but Wnky is stronger here for me.

WBKO is having power troubles since a storm came through here sometime ago. I cannot receive it during the day anymore so I have to rely on WKRN for ABC programming and WZTV for FOX programming.

For some reason, I'm having a hard time getting any channels on my antenna I don't know what the problem is, sometimes I can get 60 channels and other times I can't hardly get six or 12, of course I live 20 miles from my closest TV station so I don't know

Is it occuring during the night? If it is then it is tropospheric ducting so that is why your signals will not come in sometimes.

Seems like I have a hard time picking up stuff during the day, then I do at night, right now it's coming so good I'm getting a bunch of channels, I'm just wondering to boosters work

You need boosters for your channels? It could be overamplifying your signals. That could cause them to go out.
