I have watch the news on WFTV-DT pretty much all week. It was up last night too (and this morning). While I haven't watched too much WFTV I haven't noticed them down. As for WESH, I noticed a couple of days ago during a nasty thunderstorm, the rain interfered with the reception. They must be running at a reduced power. More @Wikipedia
