WZGS-CD is no longer broadcasting a signal.

Here is a wiki reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WZGS-CD

Here is the FCC page: https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/cdbsmenu.hts?context=25&appn=101361325&formid=910&fac_num=41095

TVFool does not track stations that are "Silent".

The station still shows up on the database when I enter my address.

I just did another scan and now find UHF channel 44. I am guessing this was a reception problem and combined with the wikipedia article led me to believe this was no longer broadcasting. My error!

The TVFool database has the data in it from the FCC's licensing database, such as it is. If there's a license or a construction permit issued, then it shows up in the TVFool database. If there is an error or omission in the FCC data, a common enough occurrence, then the same will be reflected in the TVFool data unless Andy goes in and manually changes it. With 4000-5000 non-full power stations in the country, that isn't likely to happen.
