Elliott Block’s low-power Channel 25 – branded as “WKRP TV” – switched frequencies on Nov. 1, leading some over-the-air viewers to think the station had gone off the air.
Not true.
And even better news: Block has secured a permanent digital channel to remain on the air after most Cincinnati TV stations change digital channels sometime in 2019.
As I wrote last December in “3 Area Stations Going Dark In 2018,” the Federal Communications Commission has ordered a huge nationwide TV channel realignment (called the “repack”) to make more of the broadcast spectrum available for cell phone and other wireless companies.
