[edit] Digital television
Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 [1], the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. On June 12, 2009, KTMW turned off its analog signal and turned on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut"). KTMW used NVerizon Automation to complete the flash cut. [1]
[edit] History
Channel 20 was the original home of KSTU, the area's Fox affiliate, from 1978 to 1987. As part of an FCC-approved deal, the KSTU intellectual unit moved to channel 13 in 1987 and currently operates under a separate license. The old channel 20 license was deleted; KTMW's license dates from December 8, 1997.
[edit] Translators
KTMW is rebroadcast on the following translator stations:
- K58FT Huntsville
- K22IT Provo (previously K55IT on channel 55)
- K59GS Salt Lake City
- K49GD Spanish Fork
- As the translator stations continue to operate in analog, only one program stream is carried on a particular translator. K58FT carries the 20.2 program stream, while K22IT, K49GD, and K59GS carry the 20.4 program stream.
