Changes to the Portland TV “Dial”
On 7/28/20, all of us watching Portland TV off of the air with an antenna witnessed the beginning of the change to ATSC 3.0, Next Gen TV. By noon, some of the channels got rearranged and a couple disappeared RF-wise from the old ATSC 1.0 channel lineup.
Here’s the big picture:
