The Analog shutoff is complete, but the work on DTV continues at WHIO-TV.
When Congress delayed the digital transition in February, WHIO-TV was forced to postpone work on improving its digital signal. Now, that work is finally underway.
First, tower climbers will remove the old Analog antenna atop the WHIO-TV transmitter on Germantown Street in Dayton. Then, the station's new Digital antenna will be hoisted into place. The work is expected to take about three weeks.
WHIO-TV signed on the first digital transmitter in Dayton in October 2001 and began broadcasting all newscasts in a 16:9 widescreen format on April 1, 2007 - the first Ohio station outside of Cleveland to switch to the new format. Until now, the station's digital signal has been transmitted from the side of the Germantown tower.

We have been unable to get Channel 7 in Springfield Ohio for a few months. All other digital signals come in great.
With the work done on July 23rd... will the signal be better and what date should we see an improvement?
No, signal quality will not improve. It will get worse, fail completely at times. WHIO will proudly announce that the problem is "fixed", reminiscent of Josef Goebbel's "Big Lie" strategy. But there won't be any real improvement. Let's face it folks the Golden age is over. The corporations are in the drivers seat and they don't like it that you view "their" content for "free".
