Digital Television
KING-TV and KONG TV ceased analog broadcasting, effective June 12, 2009, and became digital-only.
In 2009, KONG became one of the first four TV stations in the country to air mobile DTV signals. The OMVC chose KONG and KOMO in Seattle and WPXA and WATL in Atlanta as the stations to beta test the ATSC-M/H standard, which has since been officially adopted for free-to-air broadcast TV with clear reception on mobile devices, overcoming many of the defects of the original ATSC standard.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“They [parents] can help the children work out schedules for homework, play, and television that minimize the conflicts involved in what to do first. They can offer moral support and encouragement to persist, to try again, to struggle for understanding and mastery. And they can share a child’s pleasure in mastery and accomplishment. But they must not do the job for the children.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
