Welcome to TV Garth!

Ever since I was a kid, I loved antennas and TV reception. It was always a thrill to hook up an antenna and see what stations I could get, and see if I could pick up anything from a far distance. With the transition to digital broadcasting happening, my love for OTA (over the air) reception came back and this blog will focus on what channels I'm able to receive via antenna from my home just outside of Toronto, Canada. Plus there may be occasional commentaries on shows that I see while adjusting my reception.

CanCon In The US: Bills In Toronto on WKBW!

Earlier this month (Dec. 3) I got the chance to see the Buffalo Bills In Toronto football game shown over the air in HD on Buffalo’s WKBW! (The Bills were playing against the New York Jets.) What made it especially neat was seeing the gorgeous photography of Toronto that was shown during breaks from the game. Even though I frequently visit downtown Toronto to see friends, these shots showcase the beauty of the city in a way I don’t normally get to see. There are great overhead shots, as well as Holiday decorations on display and photography from Nathan Phillips Square.

Take a close look at the top left corner of the pic below. It looks like the robot from Short Circuit is rolling onto the field to help out the players! (In reality, it’s just a hanging camera.)

Here we have T.O. in T.O. It’s Terrell Owens from the Buffalo Bills! (Note the Bills Toronto Series logo on his jersey!)

One good reason for me to take interest in football: Mark Sanchez from the New York Jets! (He was unfortunately sidelined during the game with an injury.)
