Erie TV Updates
By Tom Lavery
Erie-Meadville: There is good news regarding two of Erie's digital stations. First is WSEE DT 16 (35-1), they are finally available in high definition on Time Warner Cable (channel 405 city 709 county). This comes a few weeks after the station made it's debut with HD for over the air viewers which does look spectacular, not to mention that most of the audio problems have been ironed out. Another digital station is now at full power, WQLN DT 50 (54-1) is now at 200kw as of this past Wednesday. The station had to take care of some interference issues with Canada which are now resolved. I can now get WQLN DT at 90% (at my residence near Cochranton) from it's previous high readings of 80 - 82% when the station was at 39kw. Finally, I hear a train a comin' / It's rollin' round the bend / I ain't seen the sunshine / since I don't know when. OK, a good train / prison song by Johnny Cash is somewhat fitting for an upcoming train stop Good Morning America will be making in Erie on Tuesday (September 16th). It's part GMA's "Whistle Stop Tour" in which a specially prepared Amtrak train will make stops in four states and Washington D.C. during the entire week. WJET's morning anchor Cassandra Garrison will join Diane Sawyer, Robin Roberts and the rest of the GMA hosts during the Erie stop on Tuesday. The train will stop at Erie's Union Station for the broadcast. You can catch the show on WJET TV 24 / DT 58 (24-1).
