[W3GV] WLEP-DT officially airing programs

[Richard Wagner]

Evening everyone...

For those who might now have discovered/heard about it yet, Erie's newest over-the-air DTV station, WLEP-DT is officially airing RTV and tufftv programming.

9.1 RTV     720x480i  http://www.myretrotv.com
9.2 TuffTV  720x480i  http://tufftv.com
9.3 RTV     720x480i
These are of course standard-def resolutions.

To my knowledge WLEP-DT is not yet available on Cable.

A programming schedule for RTV is available here:

I would be most interested in hearing feedback about this new station.

Ever since WJET-TV 24 has decided to kill off downtown northern Erie totally and completely from their broadcast area, primarily now only to serve  southern-end of Erie down into Albion, etc.,
it is interesting to note that at least every other
locally operated television station believes there is value in continuing to serve north-Erie in full.

Erie needs a high-quality television station that offers family-oriented, clean programming that doesn't go for shock-value and obscenities, and RetroTV offers that.
>From what was seen of "TuffTV.com", it didn't look all that interesting, but it may be too soon to judge.
