A dumb question re. local TV

[JB]

Does anyone know where the nearest CBS affiliate is to SoWal? Is it in PC or Pensacola?

And has anyone had any luck picking up said CBS station on the beach with a small, portable TV?

Reason I ask is I just found out the Alabama/Ole Miss game will be on CBS at 11 a.m. the Saturday I am to be down there. Horrible kickoff time for trying to fit in some beach time.

I think Dothan is the closest.

WTVY CH 4 CBS, on rabbit ears, is out of Dothan AL. On MediaCom cable it is channel 3. From my pre-cable days, I think it was one of two stations which I could pick up in this area.

Thanks all. I think trying to pick up a UHF station out of Dothan would be a tall order.

It's worth a try though since CBS Dothan broadcasts at about a bazillion watts.

I think it is VHF, which is easier to pick up. Be sure to bring a set of rabbit ears and cross your fingers.
