TBN-owned full-power stations permanently ceased analog transmissions on April 16, 2009.[1]
On June 1, 2015, JUCE and Smile of a Child were consolidated into a single network on the third subchannel to accommodate the addition of a new network, TBN Salsa, on the fifth subchannel where Smile of a Child used to reside.[2] As a result of the change, children's programming that previously aired on Smile of a Child airs on 42.3 from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm.[3]
Analog-to-digital conversion
WCLJ-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 42, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 56, which was among the high band UHF channels (52-69) that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition, to its analog-era frequency, UHF channel 42.[4]
