Did WSAZ go dark at 7:00 am this morning or was there an issue with their feed to Armstong Cable?

You must be home in Ky.
No problem here on Suddenlink.

Big fire in Huntington's downtown this morning - in the area of 3rd street beween 4th and 5th Ave. It was reportedly an empty 3 story apartment building with an electric supply business behind it.

Clear Channel radio stations had a brief outage between 7 and 8 AM and other power was off, including traffic lights. The fire was within 5-6 blocks of WSAZ and WOWK so either could have been affected....

No, but I was on the phone with Mom this morning when she mentioned that WSAZ was not broadcasting.

I will be home in 13 days.

The midday news report on the WSAZ website referenced the cable outage and attributed it to cables being damaged by the fire.
