Is anybody able to get WSFJ-DT 51.1 (RF 24) ? Was trying yesterday with my indoor antenna (which is good to receive everything else) and did not have any luck.

No, I can't get this either. My indoor antennae (I'm near Morse and Hamilton) gets everything else, except that 53.1 sometimes doesn't come in.

If you take a look at the Google Map antenna thread here. It shows that the WSFJ-DT tower is located half way to Heath from 270 and is only 275' in height--this may explain your problem. I live in New Albany and can't pull the signal in.

No luck with 51.1 on either my indoor or my outdoor OTA. I imagine that if Scott can't get it in New Albany, not many (even on the east side of Columbus) can pick it up.

Thanks guys. I guess that was a good try. Reason I was checking was that my tivo is showing programming guide for it, however, no signal when I tune in. I guess it gets guide from somewhere else?

For those who like baseball, this channel will air games from the world baseball classic starting today (as per the programming guide). D* carries the SD channel (51)

I emailed WSFJ about a month ago and they indicated that they will be at full power at the beginning of July. At that point, everyone in the Columbus area should receive it pretty easily. It will be at channel 24 (51.1).

It's nice to know that it will be there, but the better question is whether they will have any HD content? They are no longer an i (formerly Pax) affiliate. In other markets, the i channel multi-casts into four sub channels, none of which suit my viewing interests. I only watch channel 51 for cavs games, the new World baseball classic (how is it classic if it's new?), and when WBNS opts to show BigTen hoops instead of compelling national matchups.
