Slogan wrong

I changed the slogan to make more current, and also this article is classified as a stub, I live in Eau Claire

WQOW using old tower

edit

The page says that WQOW-DT is using the old WEAU tower to transmit their digital signal. What about the analog signal? I think it would come from the same tower. --Libertyernie2 18:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Tower Collapse Info

edit

I added a citation to the tower collapse mention in "Transmitter Tower" Rockmanac (talk) 04:40, 23 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Now there reads also this: A replacement tower was completed by December 15, 2011 and broadcast resumed on UHF channel 38 in late December
The same height or what? More info would be good. 85.217.22.25 (talk) 21:43, 21 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
I found something. According to [[1]] the new tower is 1998 feet tall. Oddly, the old one's height was apparently not 2000 feet as the same newspaper article has this: WEAU’s nearly 2,000-foot tall broadcast tower toppled during an ice storm in March. 85.217.22.25 (talk) 00:17, 22 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
Prior to the tower collapse, I could reliably receive WEAU broadcast programming in Wisconsin Rapids.
Ever since the newly rebuilt tower, I have never again received WEAU digital programming. 10+ years without an NBC affiliate has been sad as I do like many of their programs. 66.170.67.197 (talk) 22:52, 16 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

High Def

This channel is now broadcasting all newscasts in HD. I added a subsection about it and included most other HD related sentences from the main history section. Packerfan386 (talk) 04:58, 8 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
