The Schedule was released last week. All games are on TV in some fashion, the only question is the 4 games. DBU and Frisco classic.

These might be the only game i miss, or work hard to find coverage.
I’m looking to buy 4 basketball tickets to A&M game on March 8.

Let me know if you got some

Screw WAFB and it's ineptitude antenna, I signed up for Pelicans+ for only 1 month though, will see how it starts. hope it gets on YoutubeTV soon.
Problem is, i don't live 50 miles, i only live 8 miles from the tower.

FCC reported that WAFB uses a 10,000 watt tower, and others are using 30,000 watt tower (Whatever that means).

Our indoor antennas are likely to work with 30,000 than 10,000. I don't speak tower language, or antenna language

If WAFB would upgrade their tower to par with their competitors (WBRZ, WGMB, WVLA, and LPB) then they would be available on more type of antennas.
Where the antenna is i get Channel 2 easily and clearly.

I'll try the Antenna point app.
I don't live in a brick house, I have indoor antenna.

Antennas Direct ClearStream Flex Amplified Indoor TV Antenna, UHF, VHF, Multi-Directional, Reversible, 50+ Mile Range - w/Jolt Switch Amplifier

This is what I have.

I live 8 miles (Saint Gabriel) from WAFB tower,


I pick up other channels clearly.
WBRZ (2.1 & others)
WGMB (44.1 & others)
WVLA (33.1 & others)
LPB (27.1 & others)

I still fail to pick up
WAFB (9.1 & others)

My current streaming provider is YouTube TV.

I guess i would have to subscribe to Pelicans+ for 14.99 a month until WAFB gets their shite together, or YouTubeTV gets their shite together.
But indoor antenna works to the point where i get 2, 27, 33, 44 clearly!!!

Just not 9. WAFB is just being cheap.
WAFB called back and said they are not required to work with indoor antennas. They said that their broadcast tower works well with outdoor antenna.

WAFB still blocking Antenna service in Baton Rouge Area.

I can’t even get 9.3 to save my soul. Where in BR are you? I’m in St Gabriel. But still only 8 miles from WAFB tower.

WAFB sucks balls and FCC tells me WAFB uses VHF instead of the more common UHF signal.

WBRZ
LPB
WVLA
WGMB

They all use UHF

WAFB uses VHF

Sucks donkey balls!
i did that ,and i can't even pick up WAFB signal in St Gabriel, i am returning the antenna back to Amazon.

WAFB/GCSEN Antenna

Posted by LSUBaseballGod82 on 10/7/24 at 11:20 am
Good morning,

I use Youtube TV to watch Streaming Channels, WAFB's 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 are no where to be found when i do channel scans with the new Antenna i purchased on Amazon.

I am able to find WBRZ, WGMB, WVLA, and LPB stations, 12 channels are found but none from WAFB.

How do I go around to make sure WAFB gets picked up on the antenna.

WBRZ is 9 miles away from me, and WAFB is 8 miles away but i get WBRZ but don't get WAFB.

Must be something on WAFB's end that is not allowing us to use Antenna.

the only current option would be to get Cox Cable which we are not interested in getting on top of YouTube TV that we already have.

It sucks that we have to use Antenna to try to get the Pelicans game on TV. Suggestions?
still looking for 4, and possible parking pass.
still outside my asking price. Thank you though.
