Studio in Merrillville, transmitter in Crown Point, licensed to Gary. You're beyond its range. Here's how their Web site describes the broadcast: The 21st century and the dawning of the digital age brought many exciting changes to Lakeshore Public Television. In November 2003, a 950-foot tower with a 54-foot analog antenna was erected at our Crown Point, Indiana transmitter site. The new transmitter allows Lakeshore Public Television to harness our full power of 1.35 million watts, sending a strong, clear signal to viewers in a 65-mile radius. In February 2004, with a $2 million state grant, Lakeshore Public Television installed a digital antenna and digital tuner, adding four digital channels (17.1, 17.2, 17.3, 17.4). 17.1 and 17.4 are currently operating. I didn't know they were broadcasting on two digital subchannels. Comcast repeats them which is the only way I've noticed their programming. No idea what's broadcast on the second subchannel.
