Digital Television
In May 2006, the FCC opened a brief application period in which low-power television licensees and permittees could apply for a digital companion channel by short-form application. KCOS-LP applied for VHF channel 13, to broadcast from the same location as the analog station. In September, the FCC identified the station as a singleton applicant, meaning that there were no competing applications on the same or adjacent channels, and giving the station until October 31 to file a long-form application. On October 2, 2006, KCOS-LP formally applied for a digital companion channel on VHF channel 13, but no construction permit was granted.
On November 7, 2011, KCOS-LP filed an application to flash-cut the station from analog to digital.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“The technological landscape of the present day has enfranchised its own electorates—the inhabitants of marketing zones in the consumer goods society, television audiences and news magazine readerships... vote with money at the cash counter rather than with the ballot paper at the polling booth.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
