WNAB 3.0 and WKUW Power Issues


- Posted October 6th, 2025 at 12:35pm
I haven't really been keeping this site updated with what is going on with WNAB 3.0 & WKUW. They both have been experiencing power issues of some kind.

First, I would like to start with WKUW. Back on either July 14th or 15th, they went off the air only to come back on the 16th but at a lower power. Then, they went back to full power, presumably, on August 11th. Then again, on Sept. 24th, they went back to a lower power where they are currently broadcasting at. I am showing a graph of what I am talking about below. The first one is a reception graph from inside the Nashville area. The other one is my reception from 50-60 miles away from Nashville.





Now, I would like to talk about WNAB's 3.0 channel. First off, that channel broadcasts WKRN 3.0, WSMV 3.0, and of course, WNAB 3.0. Back on July 22nd, they had equipment issues that caused them to go off the air. They ordered the parts and have recently installed them and came back on the air this past Thursday (Oct 2nd). However, as you can see from the graphs below, they are not at full power like before. Right now, I have no idea what is wrong. If I find out, I will post it. The first graph is reception from 68 miles away while the second graph is my reception at about 50-60 miles away.





So, there you have it. Until more news breaks, that's all for now.

Update: 2:17pm - And just like that, WKUW is now back up to full, if not, then, has added more power, but now, at the same time, WCTZ 35 is off the air. So, it is still a work in progress. Until even more news breaks, that's all for now.

Has anybody had problems with the new 44 guides? Channel 44-6, 9 and 10 are all messed up. On my Vizio 50" sub channel .6 is showing what should be on Channel .10. I have re-scanned until I am blue in the face and it has not changed. sub channels .9 and .10 continue to show no info available. Any ideas from anybody? Now the guide is showing "no info available," on all my 44 channels.

That is exactly the way my Sony is. The guide is not using the broadcast-provided guide, but some online guide.
