Yesterday the new WBOC Spanish channel appeared on my TV and 16-2 Antenna TV (old shows such as Bewitched, Newhart, Hazel, etc.) disappeared. I tried the channel search but cannot get 16-2. I emailed and called WBOC but they have not given me any satisfactory answers. I receive 16, 16-2 (I did receive it), Fox 21, 28, 47-1, 47-2, 47-3 and the 32(Escape, Grit etc.) channels from 47 -- all by outside antenna. I live in Nanticoke and they tried to say that 16-2 has been moved and perhaps I am out of range. I think this has happened to others. I know one person on Rockawalkin Rd. near Rt. 50 who also cannot get it. I'm not interested in the Spanish channel but I do want 16-2 back. I would like to know if any of your readers have this problem and if so they should start calling WBOC. Joe, perhaps you could look into it.
I kept commenting in the comments that it is missing for a couple of days now, and I live down the street on the E side from the station. So they are liars.
We went back on cable. We dropped Comcast for 4 months. It was too expensive. Then I called them after getting all kinds of offers in the mail. Got a great offer promotion for one year. Over 70 dollars less a month. Better than anything out there. So in a year we will probably drop them again. But got a cable/phone/internet bill... till next year that's cheaper than 7 years ago.
Yup, they turned it off. It is part of both Salisbury stations catering to Hispanics. Haven’t you noticed the Mexicans they both have hired? With the Latino ghetto accents? I guarantee they will have a Spanish news cast within a year.
WOW!!! And I thought that purchasing a new indoor antenna perhaps would solve this dilemma. I like you all am very sad to think that that Spanish speaking channel has taken 16-2 place. If a petition is necessary and would bring back our beloved 16-2 sign me up.
You could have let us know this was going to happen.
Shame on you as you knew this back lash would happen!
I changed my morning tv timer to channel 47 instead of 16. My TV is set to automatically come on each morning during the week at 6 am. I had it set to 16, but I got tired of their BS and their Trump bashing with "the Trump Presidency" when referring to Trump.
I now wake up to two Lovely ladies ladies and no Jimmy Hoppa!!! No more all Delaware all the time news, or Delaware commercials like Johnny Janosik or other Delaware businesses!
Even the weather report seems better and more professional. They did a very good report this morning concerning trends for the 2017/2018 winter, and what to expect based on weather data from the National Weather service. Very impressive and educational. Never saw this from WBOC and the Ladies are very attractive!
I cannot get 16.2 either. I would much rather have this channel than the Spanish channel. Really wboc. You said nothing about this happening when the Spanish channel was advertised. I LIVE in,laurel del.mary wilson
I have been looking for 16.2 for several days. I am not Spanish and this channel does not benefit me. Wboc did not even warn their customers that 16.2 was going to disappear.wboc should be ashamed.
I live real close to Fruitland have a terrible time getting 47. They are as far away as 16 and 28, but 47 is hard to get. And NO, I do not get 16.2 anymore either. But that damn Spanish channel comes in clear. Shame on you 16 for taking away from AMERICAN'S to cater to criminals. We speak English here.
Of course we speak English you dummy! We all know we speak English we aren't dumb. And not all Hispanics are criminals. And I'm pretty sure you aren't American at all if you are being a big baby about color and a language.
Maybe they spent the 16-2 channel budget on Nicole Laurens makeup trying to make her look happy.... I mean seriously I'm not sure how she even holds her head up with the 47 lbs of crap on her face.... and it doesn't even hide the deep deep depression... that girl could make a sunny day at the beach sad....
I loved the 16-2 channel and am sorry they took it off. They should of used the xhannel tbeybsaid was going to be for the spanish channel and left 16-2 alone. I loved watching the old shows.
We never asked to be cater and grow up! You should open your eyes and realize that one day you'll die and won't bring all your stuff when you die. You should go to school to get educated.
WBOC has lousy management with big egos. Don't expect a reply. As stated, WMDT has added a fourth (47-4) broadcast station while WBOC is cutting programming. Having been in broadcasting, the handwriting is on the wall since Mr. Draper passed away. All of the good is now gone.
Wboc seems to have the money for choppers new stations and sickening side shows but Wmdt is giving the shore many more choices. Why not let your viewers know what you did to antenna tv?
I like others tried several times to contact someone at Draper to find out why no 16.2 with no results. Finally today I received a email reply to inform me of their plan. I was amazed that they are going to move the transmitter to Laurel De. This move will exclude me from receiving the signal. I am not going to go into my reply to them but if you want to voice your opinion go to your computer and search for WBOC email , when the results come up look for other email. I wonder what their advertisers think of this.
I have also lost Antenna TV ("WBOC Classics"). I have been receiving it over the air for years on 16-2, but I stopped receiving it last week. I have re-scanned twice but to no avail. I did pick up the new Hispanic channel on the last scan, but I cannot imagine why I would ever watch it since it obviously caters to the thousands of illegals on the eastern shore. I suppose that TV stations look at these illegals as just another market.
Relieved to know it was WBOC, not my antenna, that stopped broadcasting AntennaTV. Shame on WBOC for not alerting your viewers to this change. Bring 16-2 back, please!!I miss my classic TV!
Re: Anonymous "Relieved to know it was WBOC, not my antenna..."
I agree 100%. Shame on WBOC for not alerting viewers that they were dropping 16-2. I used to love WBOC. I have watched WBOC since the days of John B. Greenberger and Alan Landay, but nowadays the station has simply become an arrogant bunch of talking heads. The proof is the fact that they did not think enough of their viewers to even let them know they were dropping 16-2 from their channel lineup. Most of my TV watching anymore is the superior channel lineup being broadcast by WMDT. They simply have more to offer viewers as far as variety of channels. I never thought I would see the day when WMDT had an edge over WBOC, but that day has come and WBOC is now the inferior choice when it comes to channel offering.
WBOC is becoming more and more irrelevant with each passing day. Tonight they didn't even mention the epicenter for the earthquake today was in DOVER! Looks like morons are running the asylum over at the WBOC building now. Just turn them off. They're useless.
Crisfield is the same...16-2 is gone effective at the time the Spanish channel was implemented. I thought it was good to include a Spanish channel for customers who understand the language. Little did I know the plan was devious and would cost us the magical entertainment of yesteryear.
I have been calling the station every two weeks asking when they are going to put the station back on the air. They keep telling me that they are going to once they get FCC approval. I feel like it is a lie, but i keep calling every two weeks. the number to the station is 410-749-1111.
Gosh, hardly a day goes by that I’m not ashamed of something one of my fellow white people has said or done or both in these United States. And I found today’s prize right here in this thread, by Anonymous, ragging at WBOC for airing Spanish Language shows.
Here’s what Anonymous wrote: “Shame on you 16 for taking away from AMERICAN'S to cater to criminals. We speak English here.’. That’s Anonymous, everyone, guess he/she didn’t want to tell their name. Bet you’re proud, Anonymous, that your kids can only speak one language? But Spanish school kids speak TWO, at least.
And, Anonymous, DID YOU KNOW that children who grow up speaking TWO score an average of 8-10 points higher on standard IQ tests? And are more likely to go to college? Oh well, go back to watching Happy Days...
Yep, same here and I live in Salisbury. You are getting the run around. Guess we live in Mexico now.
ReplyDeleteBeggars can't be choosers. It's free TV. You get what they send out.
ReplyDeleteYep, same here, did a channel search last night and only got the new spanish channel,lost 16-2.
ReplyDeleteGuessing they had to do some trimming with losing the FIOS contract.
10:36 TV was always supposed to be free. it is the cable that runs to your house that is not
ReplyDeleteI kept commenting in the comments that it is missing for a couple of days now, and I live down the street on the E side from the station. So they are liars.
ReplyDeleteI asked them on FB and never got a reply.

ReplyDeleteAntenna TV is for white people. Didn't you get the message? White people don't count anymore.
ReplyDeleteMissing for a few days in Bridgeville, De.
ReplyDeleteGuess I'm done with ALL WBOC sh1t!
Lost it here in Laurel as well. This is BS!

ReplyDeleteYou all had white priveledge.
ReplyDeleteTypically unprofessional for them not to answer anyone's inquiries. Ignorant.

ReplyDeleteYes, I think they could of at least added the Spanish channel as 16.3 so we all could be happy and stop the racist comments please.
ReplyDeleteHow about a 16.3. problem solved
ReplyDeleteI loved the 16-2 channel and am sorry they took it off. They should of used the xhannel tbeybsaid was going to be for the spanish channel and left 16-2 alone. I loved watching the old shows.
ReplyDeleteTotally sick and tired of the catering to Hispanics, many of whom are in this country illegally.

ReplyDeleteLost it also. I’m outside of Delmar. I sent them a message and no response.
ReplyDeletewhere is 16:2 :Not 42.2
ReplyDeleteMiss 16-2 the old shows from the 50s 60s and 70s. At first I thought the channel went out due to the rain. But nope 16-2 is gone.
