According to Charter Cable, they said NBC did the switch with the spanish language channels because of the fire threat to Mt. Wilson. I'm thinking that they didn't have a backup transmitter or something for the spanish channels other than having to bump Universal and the NBC weather. Most of the communications companies were switching to backup transmitters to avoid a disruption in service if the transmitters on Mt. Wilson got destroyed. Shows us where Universal Sports and the Vuelta stand in the hierarchy of life here in SoCal.
My understanding was that it would be like this until the threat to Mt. Wilson was over. So it will probably be at least days like this.
