**WCIU 26/METV - Due to continued outages for Chicago television stations at Willis Tower, WCIU CW26 is now available over the air at 26.1 or 66.6. A rescan may be needed.
We are working to return the full signal of The U (26.2), MeTV (26.3), Heroes & Icons (26.4), Bounce (26.5) and Decades (26.6). Some viewers can now tune in those channels with an over the air antenna. Comcast and most other cable/satellite viewers of CW26, The U, MeTV, Heroes & Icons, Bounce and Decades are not impacted.** Still out on my cable right now. OTA those are working as stated above. Mannix and Perry Mason will have to wait for cable for a few days

I think channel 11 got knocked out too--and no comments on anyone's web sites on when they'll be back...anyone hear any updates?

UCAN has been using 129.475 AM for dispatch since the transmitter for 464.800 is on there...

I've often heard UCAN with split channel comms - dispatch or the helo will be on 464.800 and the other will reply on 129.475.

I'm aware of that. I was referring to what they did during the power outage.
