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.

If you've been waiting patiently for Uptown to get its first brewpub, the wait is getting a lot shorter.We hear that a new brewpub is taking over the former Godfather's Pizza space at Wilson and Malden, and the appearance of a dumpster and construction workers confirms that work is ongoing. From what we've heard, expect a focus on a "community-first gathering place," helmed by two local residents who are branching out from their current careers. The plans call for a focus on local brewers and distillers, but no food onsite. The taproom will feature a rotating selection and will be dog-friendly. The… [...]
Chef Son's bibimbapLocal Noble Square favorite Kimchi Pop by Chef Son is planning a new location in Uptown called "Kimchi Pop 2" at 4429 N. Broadway.
