Slogan wrong

I changed the slogan to make more current, and also this article is classified as a stub, I live in Eau Claire

WQOW using old tower

The page says that WQOW-DT is using the old WEAU tower to transmit their digital signal. What about the analog signal? I think it would come from the same tower. --Libertyernie2 18:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Tower Collapse Info

I added a citation to the tower collapse mention in "Transmitter Tower" Rockmanac (talk) 04:40, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

:Now there reads also this: A replacement tower was completed by December 15, 2011 and broadcast resumed on UHF channel 38 in late December

:The same height or what? More info would be good. 85.217.22.25 (talk) 21:43, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

::I found something. According to http://lacrossetribune.com/news/local/weau-standing-tall-in-fairchild-with-tv-tower/article_68439ac0-3b4e-11e1-bb61-0019bb2963f4.html the new tower is 1998 feet tall. Oddly, the old one's height was apparently not 2000 feet as the same newspaper article has this: WEAU’s nearly 2,000-foot tall broadcast tower toppled during an ice storm in March. 85.217.22.25 (talk) 00:17, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

:::Prior to the tower collapse, I could reliably receive WEAU broadcast programming in Wisconsin Rapids.

:::Ever since the newly rebuilt tower, I have never again received WEAU digital programming. 10+ years without an NBC affiliate has been sad as I do like many of their programs. 66.170.67.197 (talk) 22:52, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

High Def

This channel is now broadcasting all newscasts in HD. I added a subsection about it and included most other HD related sentences from the main history section. Packerfan386 (talk) 04:58, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
