You need ... as do all stations in a market ... to be sure that all the usual suspects that sell TV sets such as Best Buy, Circuit City, WalMart, etc., have a poster that tells what stations arer what, digitally, and where they are. You need the info prominently shown on you web site. Etc. How did I find out where the stations were? Well, this was decades ago. I found out what direction they were by rotating an antenna. I found out exactly where by basically assuming that the huge towers I saw (they are all but one right beside I-74 or I-72) were them. The next to last one I had to call the station, since it has a pathetic tower. The last (digital) one does not yet exist ... I assume it will be where the FCC says it will be.
