Hey, new here. I was hoping you guys could give me some insight or info into whether you can pick up an A1 network afiliate in Columbus. From what I can tell they have one in Bucyrus on channel 22 (WBKACA) and one in Mansfield on channel 50 (WOHZLP). Americaone.com has Bucyrus listed as an affiliate on its website but the channel doesn't show up on anteenaweb or titantv even when I punch in a Bucyruus zip. The Mansfield channel does show up on titantv and antennaweb but not on americaone's website.

My question was, does anyone know for a fact that these channels are A1 affiliates? And is it possible to receive them in Columbus given we are about 50 miles from each city? I'm thinking with an outdoor antenna turned in either ones direction with a preamp I'll be able to pick at least one of them up but antennaweb doesn't even list channel 22 in Bucyrus and the channel 50 Mansfiled station only shows up as available when I put in a higher antenna height. I know antennaweb is real conservative with their predictions from past experience so I wanted to know if any of you have picked up A1 with your gear.

Basically I want to find out for a friend of mine because he is a soccer nut and they play premier league games on the channel. Well, that and I found out they play this show called Macabre Theatre that shows old horror movies. My wife is way into those kinds of movies. Thanks for any help.

A1 was on low power channel 19 before it was bought by Daystar.

Those stations from Mansfield and Bucyrus are low power, and can barely be picked up outside of their respective home cities. Being over 50 miles away, I doub't you can pick them up at all.
