[edit] Digital television
Because they were granted original construction permits after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 [4], KTEL-TV and KRTN-TV did not receive companion channels for digital television stations. Instead, on or before June 12, 2009, which was the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KTEL-TV and KRTN-TV were required to turn off their analog signals and turn on their digital signals (called a "flash-cut").
KTEL-LP is still running in analog but has a construction permit to flash-cut to digital broadcasting on channel 47.
