“Unobserved” does not mean “off air.” It means this report has no retained successful RabbitEars Live Bandscan reception for the station. Nearby participating tuners may be absent, offline, out of range, filtered, or unable to decode the signal. Confirm with a local receiver or the station before treating it as off air.

Current data boundary

RabbitEars station observations support RF reception, SS, MER, distance and basic virtual-channel PSIP. EIT guide data, service names and video resolution require a transport-stream capable source.

TV households and OTA homes use Nielsen's 2021–2022 DMA universe estimates. OTA homes are the workbook's broadcast-only households and are counted once per market.
