[SBE] WFXT Fox 25 Boston

[Dan Slentz]

I'd be curious to know if it were a failed broadband TCI 888 antenna shared by their analog & digital.  
It appears these antennas like to burn down from the top and not show a VSWR problem until they hit the power divider (and by that time, you've just burned down a few hundred thousand dollars worth of antenna like a dollar store candle).

Recently Fox's Ch 25, WFXT, here in Boston had problems either with it's analog antenna or both and are now off the air. Repair seemed to be a fools errand since the approaching analog shut down soon. What I am curious about is the sequence of events leading up to their analog signal  going away. Anyone got the 411?

Thanks in advance and Happy  and Safe New Year to all!
