 A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond

XETV is up here as well (though its studios are in San Diego's Kearney Mesa area), and I believe most of the big cross-border FMs are here, too.
Only XETV, XEWT and XHAS enjoy any significant cable carriage north of the border, though the 21, 27 and 57 signals are visible off-air in much of San Diego.
