@TomK: I think 45 actually goes off air intermittently. I caught them go from a good signal to zero and back to good, a handful of times over the last 2 weeks, for about 60 seconds each time.
@kimo_wires: Yes, quite unfortunate timing for those stations to go down. However, it does highlight a strength of OTA TV: Different transmitter sites and different transmission paths make it so it's very unlikely you'll lose all channels. With cable TV, the potential to lose all channels exist (and could even happen with satellite if something weird happened in space). It's particularly good that there are two instances of KGMB (Hawai`i News Now) that arrive through different paths from different transmitter sites.
