I saw this on Thursday while traveling in Centennial, CO. One of FOX31 / Colorado's Own Channel 2 live trucks headed back to the station. It got on to I-25 headed towards downtown Denver.
I seldom see live trucks or satellite trucks out and about here in Denver so when I do I try to get a photo. (I'm usually in the wrong place at the wrong time to get a photograph)

So if you want another channel to watch just re-scan your TV and you should be able to receive Oxygen.

If you want to receive Oxygen over the air however make sure you re-scan your TV & make sure your antenna is pointed in the direction of Fredrick, CO because that is where KDEN has it's transmitter. (Most of the Denver TV stations including 9NEWS broadcast from Lookout Mountain in Golden, CO.)
