Station List
Prior to the digital transition date of February 17, 2009 the FCC
assigned interim "Companion DTV" channel assignments to all
eligible full power TV stations. The companion channels enabled
the broadcasters to begin delivering digital programming simulta-
neously along with their original analog broadcasts.
The FCC subsequently released the "Final DTV" channel allotments
on March 21, 2008. The final DTV channels are the RF channels
that will be used post transition (after February 17, 2009). The
Final DTV assignments reflect the new core spectrum for TV broad-
casts of channels 2 to 51. Channels 52 to 69 have been re-assigned
for public safety and advanced wireless services.
The former analog channel number information will be carried in
the new digital channel's PSIP (Program and System Information
Protocol) information. It may also be referred to as the "tune to"
(NAB) or as a "virtual" channel. Digital TV’s and STB's use this chan-
nel number to tune to the particular program that in most cases
is transmitted over a completely different RF channel.
Refer to the
DTV Companion or Final DTV columns on the preceding station list
tables for actual RF channels used.
