Didn't see this coming. Never thought your home market would have its own bandscan video remade for 2017 (now with a news open for WINK 50). Nice work!
yeah, that's common in lesser markets like that. it goes along with the UHF number shame. you'll notice how its mentioned that no station in the area has mentioned its actual terrestrial channel number in about 20 years.
Most stations that transitioned used their PSIP channels (derived from their old analog channels except for stations whose digital and PSIP channels are the same) in their branding. Sometimes they'll use their actual terrestrial channel if they have another major network on the subchannel (For example, WGXA/Macon has its Fox subchannel branded as "Fox 24", while the ABC subchannel is branded as "ABC 16"); other times they won't mention a channel in their branding... they just brand by call letters (WINK and WXCW in this video) or use a specific branding (WJHL-DT2/Johnson City-Kingsport-Bristol is branded as "ABC Tri-Cities" while its main CBS subchannel is branded as "NewsChannel 11"). Due to the Fort Myers market's high levels of pay-TV penetration, the stations that *DO* brand by their channel number do not use PSIP or digital channels... instead they resort to using their cable channels (WBBH UHF 15/PSIP 20 brands as "NBC 2", WZVN UHF 41/PSIP 26 brands as "ABC 7", WFTX UHF 35/PSIP 36 brands as "Fox 4", and WRXY UHF 33/PSIP 49 brands as "CTN 10").
@@mulletboater Well, in my 100+ Market (Youngstown, Ohio) they essentially brand as their channel numbers. With WNEO/WEAO branding under Western Reserve PBS.
i get it, but: it seems designed to be confusing; there is a "secret actual" channel number that is overshadowed by a "virtual" number that would display on a typical TV, but.....the stations use neither number for graphics or station ID's but a 3rd number based on where a cable provider chose to put them in the systems channel order. The earlier mention "secret actual" number is still itself "virtual" since, its reference to a frequency range. Why are these people seemingly ashamed of the "virtual" RF assignment numbers? My guess would be that, way way back in the past when TV stations were being founded and getting frequency assignments: the major cities got assigned first with the lower numbers, and, higher channel numbers indicate you are "in the sticks" but..... this detail only really matters to people who care about unspoken connotations of channel numbers, such as: people who run TV stations and cable providers. Its the channel number equivalent of putting a stuffed sock in the front of your jeans.
The "virtual" number is how it appears on the TV, it matches the analog channel number which was used in the old days. The physical number is the number as it is on the radio spectrum. for example: physical channel 29 is the same frequency as analog channel 29. A station can be something like physical channel 24, but is shows up as channel 11 on TVs and converter boxes.
Strange how WINK's logo doesn't have the CBS eye anymore. I wonder what was the reasoning behind that move. The other strange thing is that WINK went from copying the NBC O&O look to copying the CNN look.
Even with the CNN-style graphics, WINK still uses NBC's "Look F" open, albeit this time it is slightly modified to fit with the CNN-style graphics. You can still hear the CBS Enforcer theme in the open.
The difference between 2006 scan and this scan is that: *Channel 4 (WEVU-CA) was Univision and relaying WUVF-LP, but WEVU was lost and WUVF remains, with WLZE as another one. *WTPH-LP came WANA-LD and remain its affiliation to Azteca. *WTLE-LP was lost; and that "WCPX" was another UniMas station but WLZE made the majority. *W22CL came WGPS-LP/LD; WGPS was Daystar in 2006, but today, Cozi TV made stepping Daystar down. *W38CO was now a low-power station of TBN. *WHDN-CD was affiliated by Court TV, owner of WHDT from the Treasure Coast and two major stations WPTV (NBC) and WFLX (Fox).
It's 2020 now and I don't understand why we don't get 22 .1- 6 on over the air ? What happened I get all the other channels I'm supposed to get other then those 6
@@christophermukina yeah none of those 6 come in. We don't even have a English movie channel the only movie channels we have is telexitos and unimas but there both in Spanish and I don't understand enough Spanish to be able to watch either 1 . I wish they'd give us 2 more channels a movie channel in English and ion then I'd be satisfied ! It was nice getting dabl recently but the only other channels they added was court tv and azteca and azteca is no good to me. It's Spanish .
Hello Ryan, I'm an Italian guy who likes this kind of content. Keep it up. :) Now, today I recorded some TVDX of Slovenian and Croatian TV in Rimini (200 km across the Adriatic Sea), and I would like to share it on TH-cam, using a format similar to that of your videos (just like atfmdx). Do you have any tips for a beginner like me? Thank you in advance.
Thanks! You're welcome to create a similar format. You'll need a video editor and a good graphics program, like Photoshop or GIMP. Try to get recordings where the station or network is promoting itself. Lay out your graphics so the viewer knows everything interesting about the station, like the distance you recorded it from, and visualize your location (and the station's) on a map. Good luck. Let me know when you have something uploaded. :)
Oh, thanks for the reply! I'll need to experiment with some software. I don't want to edit on a laptop, and my desktop is pretty much trash (yee Q6600), but I think it will do the job. I recorded some .ts files (with the entire contents of the DVB-T mux) and got at least three idents. No call letters in Europe, sorry.
Progress so far: I converted a badly corrupted TS file (a format wich I shall not use again, it's a terrible, TERRIBLE file to deal with) into something usable (with screen recording...) and made some graphics. Now, I don't know how to make the map. Any suggestions?

The Ft. Myers NBC and ABC stations are like "O&O wannabes", in their news graphics. ;)
Even though both aren't O&Os, WBBH uses "Look F" graphics usually seen on NBC O&Os.

So apparently they finally gave us bounce. And ion. In flordia
Who ever made this video should do another for 2020 !!!
We need more over the air Channels to watch here in our area.
The music for WINK sounds like WABC in New York
Ahh, I hear it now
WINK had a "5"? Then a "9"? WINK has/had always been 11. Beyond that, these stations have a large market feel in their opens. Very nice.
They never branded as 9, and the "5" was very low key.
(Love the username, BTW)
how you can do 60fps in some clips if your videos might cannot,theres no 60fps option
