TAMPA - An equipment failure that affected today's digital TV broadcast of Tampa Bay's NBC affiliate, WFLA, has been fixed.
The breakdown began at about 7 a.m. and affected the station's two digital TV channels – the main 8.1 channel and the 8.2 channel that shows retro-style TV reruns.
High-definition feeds remained active on Verizon's FiOS system, but would likely did not work at cable company Brighthouse, Comcast and DirecTV, according to WFLA engineers. Some other cable systems that run WFLA in standard definition likely also lost the signal.
By 3 p.m., the problems were repaired, WFLA engineers said.
