KCPM (TV) - Analog-to-digital Conversion

Analog-to-digital Conversion

Because its original construction permit was granted after the FCC finalized the digital television allotment plan on April 21, 1997, the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. Instead, on or before February 17, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KCPM was required to turn off its analog signals and turn on its digital signals (called a "flash-cut").
