If you have been following 3.0 channels in Nashville, you have noticed that WNAB's 3.0 channel has been off the air the past several days. That channel hosts WKRN's, WSMV's, and WNAB's "x.1" channels. Well, I have received a response back from the chief engineer over at Sinclair Broadcast Group, the one who has been in charge of broadcasting the 3.0 stations. The response is as below:
"Unfortunately, we have some transmitter repairs to complete. WNAB will be back on the air just as soon as we can obtain the parts from our vendor.
I apologize for the inconvenience and we will have the Transmitter back up as soon as we can. I wish I could give you a time frame but sometimes these things take time."
So there you have it. This is bumming me out a little because yours truly depends on WNAB 3.0 for WKRN because my reception of WKRN's 1.0 channel is pretty much non-existent. Well, until more news breaks, that's all for now.

Sorry it's caused you issues. I noticed it's been off air for a week. I was using it for WSMV when I couldn't get W14EE, with my Zapperbox for WSMV DRM.

That explains why my ZapperBox was not getting some of the main channels that I watch. Thanks for the info.

I haven't been able to view WKRN or WSMV's ATSC 3.0 for several weeks. Guessing they haven't completed transmitter repairs yet.

I check on it every so often. Looks like it's still down. Something major had to make it go down in the first place.

WSMV's 3.0 had issues that went on for six weeks back in May and June. With my Sony Bravia NextGen TV and ADTH box, it would take 5-8 seconds to tune, freeze after 10 seconds, and unfreeze for about 20 seconds, then rinse and repeat. Fortunately, I have excellent reception of WKRN and WSMV's (4.1 and 4.10) 1.0 signal. But I get even better signal reception from their 3.0.

METV Westerns replacing METV + on 44.6 in late September, METV+ moved to 44.10. Already advertising the change on 44.6.
