This is too easy.
WBZ has been running on reduced power for most of the last few weeks
thanks to an antenna problem:

No clue if it has been fixed, but judging by the lack of updates,
probably not.


The problem (defective transmission line to the upper master antenna on
the CBS tower in Needham) was finally fully resolved this morning at
4:55AM. Lots more details at

(The CBS tower carries virtual channels 2, 4, 5, 8, 38, 44, and 48.)
