[edit] -DT Television stations

A lot of people have the misconception that all U.S. television stations have the appendix of -TV for their analog transmission and -DT for their digital transmission. This is not the case. A fair number of stations do have the call sign of W/Kxxx-TV; however, there are very few stations that have the FCC call sign of W/Kxxx-DT. I am going to try and keep a list here of the examples I find. In parentheses are other article names that might be related to this station.

  1. KCGE-DT (KCGE KCGE-TV)
  2. KUID-DT (KUID KUID-TV)
  3. WBKI-DT (WBKI WBKI-TV)
  4. WBPH-DT (WBPH WBPH-TV)
  5. WGTQ-DT (WGTQ WGTQ-TV)
  6. WFRV-DT (WFRV WFRV-TV)
  7. WHMM-DT (WHMM WHMM-TV)
  8. WMAB-DT (WMAB WMAB-TV)
  9. WPJT-DT (WPJT WPJT-TV) - (Also broadcasts an NTSC signal using this callsign)

And just to prove a point, here are all of the stations assigned call letters with -DR (digital repeater) at the end.

  1. Query the FCC's TV station database for KACV-DR
  2. Query the FCC's TV station database for KAKW-DR
  3. Query the FCC's TV station database for KDLO-DR
  4. Query the FCC's TV station database for KETZ-DR
  5. Query the FCC's TV station database for KFTR-DR
  6. Query the FCC's TV station database for KOCO-DR
  7. Query the FCC's TV station database for KPLO-DR
  8. Query the FCC's TV station database for KSEE-DR
  9. Query the FCC's TV station database for KTBN-DR
  10. Query the FCC's TV station database for KWES-DR
  11. Query the FCC's TV station database for KYES-DR
  12. Query the FCC's TV station database for WNYT-DR
  13. Query the FCC's TV station database for WPPB-DR
  14. Query the FCC's TV station database for WTOM-DR
  15. Query the FCC's TV station database for WTTV-DR
  16. Query the FCC's TV station database for WTVI-DR
  17. Query the FCC's TV station database for WVNY-DR
  18. Query the FCC's TV station database for WSET-DR

And a section for digital only stations that do NOT have -DT or -DR at the end of their callsigns:

  1. KVMD (KVMD-TV KVMD-DT) - Looks like they are applying for an analog station license @ 53. (Thanks to DHowell)
  2. WNVT (WNVT-TV WNVT-DT) - (Thanks for the heads-up Boothy443)
