Columbia TV Stations

Although both WIS and WOLO use VHF channels, I can receive them very well, except for some breakup from impulse noise during thunderstorms etc. WLTX sometimes suffers from from interference from WUNE in Linville NC which is also on channel 17.

I have never seen WZRB and have seen WKTC only a few times because they share channels with stations in Charlotte NC (WJZY on 47 and WMYT on 39) that are much stronger here.
