I'm wondering if it is missing because of the repack? It is currently on channel 38 but is scheduled to change to channel 17, but not for a year I think. So I don't know why it was taken off in the meantime as it is still transmitting on channel 38.

TVFool is using a defective database to generate reports; there are many errors. The site doesn't have sufficient staff to correct the errors.

Yes, Repack is making the problem worse.

What does your TVFool report look like?
