Interference with Detroit's ch 4 is what gave the Cleveland market CH 3.<BR/><BR/>A similar situation happened with WJW-TV 8, which was originally on ch 9 as WXEL-TV. The interference came from the Steubenville/Wheeling ch 9.<BR/><BR/>Michael P, ParmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943321092483498805.post-9499402728506321752007-04-22T23:17:00.000-04:002007-04-22T23:17:00.000-04:00Hello Joseph..
