Only one Pittsburgh team on the Erie airwaves this weekend.

By Tom Lavery

Erie-Meadville: Pitt and Notre Dame fans will enjoy a great contest this Saturday night on WJET DT 24. Unfortunately, the other marquee game at Heinz Field on Sunday between the Steelers and Bengals will not be televised locally on WSEE DT 16 (35) due to those 5 Bills fans in the Erie region being served as their team (Hopefully the L.A. Bills in the near future) travel to Tennessee to take on another lackluster team in the Titans. Maybe the recent power increase by WKBN DT 41 (27) out of Youngstown will help some pull in the Steelers contest with the right outdoor antenna set up.

WKBN usually shows the Browns unless it’s not a sell out

That is true but they are on Monday night against the Ravens this week. The ESPN crew will have to make the best of a blowout by the Ravens. Until Cleveland gets some direction and stops switching quarterbacks, they will not compete with the other 3 teams in the AFC North. A shame for the legions of loyal fans they have. Kind of reminds me of the Succos, eh I mean Buccos.

Well that shows how much I follow football, as long as my dad’s antenna and converter box gets WKBN I hear nothing about it.

WKBN has one incredible signal, even better than WSEE is here for CBS. I know that people in parts of Cleveland pull in WKBN as a option for CBS since there are issues with WOIO DT 19 on VHF 10 which is at low power due to interference issues across the lake with London, Ontario station CFPL analog 10. Now hopefully WYTV out of Youngstown will have a much better signal once upgrades are made by the same crew that moved WKBN’s antenna to the top of the tower.

Northwest Pennsylvania will have the same situation again this Sunday. KDKA-2 and WKBN will have the Steelers game from Kansas City; WSEE will have the Bills game from Jacksonville.

FWIW Erie is a secondary market for the Bills and as such WSEE must carry Bills away games. This designation comes not from CBS but from the NFL.
