Notes:
- 1. Because they were granted original construction permits after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997, these stations did not receive companion channels for digital television stations. Instead, on June 12, 2009, which was the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KWYP-TV and KPTW were to be required to turn off their analog signals and turn on their digital signals (called a "flash-cut"). KPTW however, did change channels to 8 instead of 6.
Additionally, KCWC is carried on the Casper Dish Network feed. However, KWYP-DT is not available on the Cheyenne Dish Network feed; KTNE is the sole PBS station offered. Congress amended the Satellite Home Viewing Act to permit satellite carriers (such as DISH Network) to carry state-wide PBS networks to viewers in all counties in that state, regardless of what DMA the county was in.
