WYFX now only in HD on 19.1

Over the weekend, WKBN TV pulled the switch on broadcasting both WKBN (27.1) and WYFX (27.2) in HD on DT 41. The engineer at the station said that the change would occur once all of the regional cable and satellite systems started carrying WYFX in HD on 19.1 instead of the piggyback version that was on WKBN at 27.2 (Now only in Standard Definition.) Not good news for those who watched both channels over the air in HD though WKBN should be a lot clearer to those watching in various areas, including parts of Cleveland where WOIO cannot be received off the air.
