WNEO / WEAO to go HD on June 26th

We now have a followup to a story posted not too long ago. A source on the “AVS Forum” board reports that “PBS 45/49” will begin to carry HD programming on Tuesday, June 26th at 9am. WNEO 45-1 serves parts of the Youngstown area, but most viewers there could likely tune into WQED 13-1 (over the air) from Pittsburgh for HD programs. However, PBS viewers in the Cleveland area will finally get HD programs from WEAO 49-1 in Akron. Our friends over at “Ohio Media Watch” states that Cleveland PBS outlet, WVIZ 25-1 is putting out very little power on the digital side. WEAO filling the void (with a much stronger signal) is definitely good news for PBS fans in Northeast Ohio.
