Why is KERA TV off the air?

KERA TV, channel 13 in DFW, appears to be off the air.  It seems that the signal strength has dropped so some TVs cannot lock onto the signal.

The Signal-to-Noise-Ratio, SNR, for KERA was 9 tonight.  For comparison the SNR for CBS was 28 tonight, 3 times stronger.

So when they say they are broadcasting, that might be true, but for my house they might as well turn everything off and go home because their puny signal just cannot cut it.

Maybe they will fix their broadcast signal soon.  This will explain to you why KERA worked yesterday but not today.  There is nothing wrong with your TV.

KERA was essentially off the air for 2 days and then came back.
