Information on Antenna and Channel Changes

During the next few months you're going to be seeing lots of antenna changes as stations prepare for the Re-Pack in the Spring of 2020.

At Sutro Tower, KGO 7 has already switched to its Auxiliary antenna so that the crew can remove their main antenna and add two new antennas, one for KGO's operation on RF channel 12 as of May 1 and one for KRON which will be moving to RF channel 7. KGO will remain on its Auxiliary antenna until they change to channel 12 on May 1. Several other antennas will have to be changed as well, and some stations will have to use their Auxiliary antennas during the times work is being performed.

There will be antennas changed at the Mt. San Bruno and Mt. Allison transmitter sites as well and stations will also have to use their Auxiliary antennas during the time work is being performed.

Be aware that you might see no change in signal strength, receive a weaker signal, or receive no signal at all when a station uses its Auxiliary antenna.

Most stations will be changing channels during late April or early May. Sutro stations will be changing during the last week of April and the first week of May, 2020.

For full details on the upcoming Re-Pack changes click here.

NOTES:

Virtual Channel is the channel to which the signal is aliased.  A signal transmitted by the station causes this number to be used on viewers' sets.  Stations are required by the FCC to use their former analog channel number as their Virtual Channel since viewers are familiar with that numbering system and station identification. 

Transmitter Channel is the channel number the station presently transmits on.

Repack Channel is the channel number that the station will transmit on after the channel changes are made in the Spring of 2020. (0 = Station has chosen to end broadcasting and go off the air; ? = Future channel assignment not known for this low power station.)

Station sub-channels:
Several programming sub-channels can be transmitted on each digital television channel. To distinguish a station's sub-channels, decimals or dashes are added after the channel number - for example 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3, or 7-1, 7-2 and 7-3. Most tuners will not show any digital signals at all until you've had the tuner do a "scan", and if a station has made changes in its lineup, many tuners will not show those changes until you scan again.

Tuners:
Some tuners show stations with the actual transmitter channels but most tuners only show stations on their virtual channels.

All tuners will show all of a station's sub-channels. If you receive the station well enough to receive any one of its sub-channels, you'll see all of the sub-channels. For the transmitter channel, some tuners may not show sub-channels on the same sub-channel numbers that appear on the virtual channel. Some stations do not begin their sub-channels with .1 on their transmitter channel, so you may find nothing on .1 or .2 and find sub-channels on .3 and above.

General notes:
Knowing transmitter channels is important when you select antennas, coax, and preamplifiers, since virtual channels are meaningless when you design your antenna and signal distribution systems.

Clicking on the call letters of a station in the list above will take you to that station's records on the Federal Communications Commission site.

The television band now consists of channels 2 through 51. When the repack is complete in 2020, the television band will consist of only channels 2 through 36.
Channels 2 through 6 are Low VHF.
Channels 7 through 13 are High VHF.
Channels 14 through 51 are UHF.

VHF signals propagate more readily than UHF signals, so VHF stations need to transmit with less power to cover the same area.

The actual frequencies of the various channels can be seen on the CSG Network Television Frequency Table.

Abbreviations in headers:
ERP = Effective Radiated Power
HAAT = Height Above Average Terrain
H - Transmits in High Definition
K - KMUV 23.1 and KOIN 46.1 and 46.2 are sharing RF 21 and 32, both available from two transmitters: RF 21 from Fremont Peak and RF 32 from Mt. Toro
L - Low Power or Translator Station
M - Transmits mobile DTV
P - Temporarily using new repack antenna with 48 kw
R - Re-pack channel change completed
S - Secondary Transmitter - Distributed Transmission System
T - KTSF 26 shares with KDTV and 26.2 is on all OMI stations
V - KAXT has FCC approval to use channel 1 for its virtual channel
X - Station has gone off the air
Major San Francisco sites are in red.
Major Sacramento site is in green.
