I would first suspect the new battery if the clock was working, then went to
12:00 with the old battery in it, then only reads 12:00 with the new

What if the source of the time signal was an analog TV station that just
went to digital?

I'm back in the dark ages as far as recent technology advances go, but the
TV and VCR time signals were being transmitted from PBS stations at one
time.

is an aerial view of the WWV transmitter site in Ft. Collins,
Coloarado. You can zoom in and see all the seperate towers involved, if
you are interested.
