look between 450Mhz-451Mhz for the station's repeater outputs. This is a
nation wide allocation and most TV stations are in here with their mobile

And 455.05-ca. 455.495

As a side note, how do TV stations manage to get mobile phone
calls/signals
to people in the storm when it is obvious that the system would be down?

Are they using satellite phones or something???


Could they use the audio of a satellite video up/down link on their remote
broadcast trucks?
Land-line and cell phone systems have back-up power generators and large
banks of batteries.
Calls are automatically rerouted around nodes that are out of service.

Heavy cloud cover obstructs/blocks the satellite signal.No signal,no
audio and no video (except for a blue band across the bottom of the tv
screen that says Searching For Signal,or something like that) either,so
the tv screen goes dark and quiet.Sometimes though,the heavy cloud cover
isn't qute heavy enough to completly obstruct/block the satellite signal
and there are big stop action pixels on the tv screen and the
video/images on screen look as though they are frozen in place untill
the satellite dish antenna can pick up a better signal and the audio
sounds like it is breaking up,sort of like somebody loseing their cell
phone signal.

Is that possible? I mean, you being in CanaDuh, that hardly sounds plausible.
