Two stations missing from Cleveland, Ohio

Both of these new transmitters just went on air April 2016.

And they're both already present in the TVF database.

If they're not showing up in your plot, it's probably due to the combination of your specific location relative to their minuscule coverage areas and directional transmitting antennas.

On the TV signal locator they are not showing. I put the address of Canton City Hall (they are both in Canton) and it is not showing either transmitter.

See previous remark, it offers the correct explanation. It also helps to know that the stations are NOT in Canton, they're in downtown Cleveland.

LP/LD stations are not actually required by FCC rules to actually be in or to serve their "City of license".

WQDI and WEKA are too weak to reach your location. Take a look at the coverage maps:

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...&q=call%3dwqdi

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...&q=call%3dweka



WQDI is listed using the tvfool interactive map browser



but it is too far down the list to show on the radar plot from the browser

IF you lived in Elyria, WQDI and WEKA would show on the report, which proves they are in the Database:

Since I indicated that transmit from "downtown Cleveland", just use that as your source for a plot.
