WHDH snubs Leno

[Dan.Strassberg]

Channel 60 (or whatever the RF channel is) is not picked up by the
channel scan on my DTV receiver or my DTV converter box. I live in
Arlington Heights. "68" is fine here. I'm pretty sure that the digital
68 transmits from the candelabra tower in Newton. I have no idea where
"60" transmits from but the OTA signal is definitely not competitive
here.
