Those of us who have been trying to contact WITI/WITI DT (what a joke) regarding the sad state of their digital signal know that they have barricaded themselves within their walls and don't take phone calls or answer emails.
The All-Star Fanfest is flushing these foxes out of their hole!
Fox 6 will be broadcasting a lot of their news programming from a set on the floor of the Midwest Express Center. Obviously there will be representatives from the engineering department of the station there for those broadcasts.
Might I suggest that anyone who is planning on attending this event schedule their visit at a time when there might be an actual live, unprotected, publicly accessible WITI engineering person to whom you can unload, er I mean, express your concerns to.
Random topics?
- WITI's claim that they've satisfied their digital requirement with their 1/2 watt signal.
- The fact that the All Star game is being broadcast in HD in Japan but not here.
- Why they continue to ignore their customers (us).
If enough of their guys go back to the station with stories of "man, I can't believe how many of those HD nuts gave me hard time about our pathetic attempts to play our little shell game with our digital signal," maybe it will get someone's attention.
Other folks to talk to would be the news celebrities themselves. They'll think you're gonna ask them for an autograph or tell them how you watch them all the time. Imagine their surprise when you actually tell them how much you miss watching them since WTMJ and WDJT went digital, and how sad you are that FOX6 management is torpedoing their career by forcing viewers to other channels with their crappy analog signal.
