That would be great if it were today since the contract was signed at the beginning of the month for WYOU and WBRE. I heard that August 6th is the day.

Gutted! It would be nice if they came through on their word.. just this once.

Whether it's August 6th or not, they had already announced (for some values of "announced") that it would be today.

Scott had said in another thread that all the new HD that was scheduled for the end of July will be lit up by Friday morning. Not sure if he meant the locals as well. I guess it continues to be a waiting game.

I am hearing we will see them in the early morning (by the time most folks get up)

Thanks Hopton. I viewed the attachments. I guess all I can do now is keep my fingers crossed.

I guess I won't be "moving" back home yet.

Me either! I'll Stay in Philly just a little while longer.

I made the mistake of moving to NYC. Good for a while, then they spotbeamed and I was out. Shoulda gone with Philly! Now I will just wait it out for WB/Scranton. After all, they did say "soon", didn't they?

Here's hoping soon happens today!!
