As a former resident of that area, I know they often lose power when the rest of the city and county and neighboring counties for that matter still have power. This will allow them to keep broadcasting to the rest of their viewing audience...

And as far as I know, there are no DIGITAL battery operated sets available. Those old reliable Sony Watchmen and other portable were rendered landfill material thanks to the digital conversion.

So that's cool that WQLN can stay online in the event of a black out – but if there is a black out how are people going to listen and watch.

Yea I know, battery operated stuff – it just seems funny – like braille on drive up ATM's. – Just making a joke, don't go giving me a hard time about it.
