WQLN DT back to full power

March 5, 2009 Off By An Editor


Good news for WQLN DT 54-1 (50) viewers, the digital only TV station is now back at full power. This has been quite a process going back to mid September when lightning damaged the antenna. The decision was then made to no longer offer WQLN on the analog side due to costs for something that would (at the time) have be shut off in a few months on February 17th, 2009. (Of course that deadline is now June 12th.) The tower crew had to wait out a few days of cold weather which kept ice on the tower until Wednesday (March 4th) when the temperatures finally warmed up a bit and work could be completed.
