Twice a year, you may experience some degree of television interference due to “sun outages.” Such outages are caused by a phenomenon called a “solar satellite interference.” These brief outages occur when the sun passes directly behind satellites transmitting cable signals. When the sun is aligned with a satellite, solar radiation, an energy the sun is emitting, interferes with the satellite’s signal and thus causes a brief signal outage.
Sun outages occur every year, in Fall and Spring, and last approximately about a week each time. This Fall, sun outages are expected during the period of October 4 through October 12, 2016.
During the sun outage, you may experience a pixelated picture, picture freezes, or audio distortions for a brief period of time.
The sun outage happens only during the day between 11am and 5:30pm (no sun, no interference) and is brief, lasting for a few minutes—from 5 minutes, up to 45 minutes.
RCN apologizes for any inconvenience a sun outage may cause. However, solar satellite interference is out of our control. Please be patient and everything will get back to normal. If you have question about sun outages, please contact RCN.
(From our friends at RCN.)

Intersection of Broadway & Buena (Google)A frustrated reader writes in:"Hi Uptown Update team,I’m reaching out to flag an ongoing safety issue that’s been ignored for nearly a year. The pedestrian crosswalk signals at Broadway and Buena have been out since September 2024. That’s a full year without walk signs at a major intersection near several elementary schools, a fairly large church, senior housing, and a Chicago Public Library branch; an area where kids, older adults, and people with mobility aids cross every day. It’s dangerous.I’ve submitted multiple 311 requests, which have been closed almost immediately with no follow-up. I’ve also [...]
Exciting news from the inbox from Reader SR about Piacere Mio and a SECOND NEW RESTAURANT coming to Wilson:Hey UU. I was snooping around at the new Italian place on Wilson today when one of the owners came out. His name was Francisco and he's one of two partners. He invited me in and gave me a short tour. I got the attached photos. He says they've been working on the place since January but things have been slow with permitting, construction and now inspections. They are hoping to open in 4 to 8 weeks depending on when the City [...]
Way back in the old days of fall 2012, we were promised a Krispy Krunchy Chicken at the corner of Broadway and Clifton, in the space at 4662 N. Broadway now occupied by the Michelin-starred Carino and formerly 42 grams and Brass Heart.After a partial buildout was completed, the franchise owner rug pulled the concept, denying Uptowners Krispy Krunchy Chicken and substituting the merely crispy crunchy chicken of Chester's. Chester's was unfortunately a short-lived restaurant, lasting a mere 5 months before shutting its doors in the fall of 2013.Good things followed, however, with the conversion of the space at 4662 N. Broadway [...]
