WCHU-LD, all 11.6 kilowatts of it, signed on the air Thursday on physical, or actual, channel 44.
When you tune it in, the channel resolves to 61.1 (copies WCHU-LP 61, or Caribevision, or something like that), and 61.2 is a simulcast of analog WLFM-LP 6, carrying "The L", smooth jazz heard on 87.7 FM.
On some tuners, audio can be heard, but on my Zenith DTT-900, I cannot get any audio. Over on AVSForum, only one Samsung TV gets audio from these stations; something is wrong with how the audio channels are set up. Anyone know who can fix this?
Unfortunately, it probably won't be there long, as soon as WLS gets approved to move there. And WCHU has no other applications right now so they can hop off 44 onto another station. And all the UHF's are filled up, and you DON'T want 300 watts on channels 2-13. 4,400 watts on channel 7 surely isn't enough.
