At about 7:30AM CST My local CBS affiliate went dark. I swept through the channels, NBC, ABC and one PBS channel are dead. These are broadcasted from Bryan/College Station and Waco, TX. The one PBS is coming and going. The only channel working well is a FOX (not FAUX Snooze) affiliate. I don't have Cable or Satellite these are all over the air signals. Strange. Has me worried after the stupidity in Hawaii.

Good luck.

Tex, don't blame you a bit for your moment of anxiety. An attack would be on my list of "what happened" possibilities these days. How could it not?

Good deal you found the problem.
