CalItalian2 163 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Fire officials say it's not if but when it will overtake the transmitter area on Mt. Wilson where all the major Los Angeles tv and most of the FM radio stations are located. KTLA and KABC have said they are about to stream all regular programming online. Cable and satellite subscribers will be unaffected (as far as tv). http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&id=6990735 http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&id=6990773 http://blogs.laweekly.com/ladaily/city-news/mount-wilson-communications-to/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5732-fire-may-knock-off-the-air-all-los-angeles-tv-stations/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

thafernykid 2 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 If the stations go off-line, just blame it on digital TV. What does that have to do with digital television?

News4LA 0 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 The AVS Forums are covering this also. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=191672&page=201 It's kind of interesting reading some of the posts in there on how some of the stations have started moving things around. Like KVEA -Telemundo 52 last night moved to KNBC's subchannel 4.2 & 4.4 replacing NBC Plus and Universal Sports programing. The funniest post (even though this is very serious situation) was by BondiBluey KTBN 40 (TBN) also has a crawl up, telling viewers that fire threatens their Mt Wilson transmitter and asking them to "pray, pray, pray".

Wilson Observatory are now a very high priority for fire protection.

mbhcity 3 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Update: Wilson Observatory webcam is down, but the antenna farm and Mt. Wilson Observatory are now a very high priority for fire protection. I was watching the local newscasts and its looks like Mt. Wilson has been mostly spared. Good News.
