Power Increases For WRGB 6 Schenectady and WHEC 10 Rochester

 Several DTV stations operating on the VHF band are already increasing power - and looking for still another round of power increases. Schenectady's WRGB (Channel 6) was granted special temporary authority last week to increase its effective radiated power from 4.64 kW to 11.2 kW, with an application now pending to go to 30.2 kW, in coordination with co-channel WPVI in Philadelphia and WEDY in New Haven. In Rochester, WHEC-TV (Channel 10) is working its way up from 18.2 kW to 30 kW, with the possibility of still more power on the way to alleviate some reception problems it's experiencing.
