Channel 82
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Channel 82 has been removed from television use in 1983. The second-highest frequency to have been used for NTSC-M terrestrial TV broadcasting, it was formerly used by a handful of television stations in North America which broadcast on UHF frequencies 879.25-883.75 MHz. In the United States, channels 70 - 83 served primarily as a "translator band" for repeater transmitters filling gaps in coverage for existing stations:
- KG2XEL Emporium, Pennsylvania, the first experimental ten-watt signal on this channel (1953), rebroadcast WJAC-TV Johnstown in order to circumvent hills which posed local obstacles to the main WJAC signal.[1]
- KATU (ABC Portland) rebroadcaster K82AT Tillamook, Oregon, formerly on this channel, has moved to K43EJ channel 43.[2]
- KBJR (NBC Duluth) rebroadcaster K82AJ International Falls, Minnesota moved to K60BT channel 60.
- A KFDA-TV (CBS Amarillo) rebroadcaster on 82 in Memphis, Texas was moved to K42AL channel 42.
- KRQE (CBS Albuquerque) rebroadcasters K82AC Romeo, Colorado and K82AR Durango, Colorado were moved to K45GD channel 45 and K31FV channel 31.
- KFOR-TV (NBC Oklahoma City) rebroadcaster K82BB Seiling, Oklahoma has been moved to K53CI channel 53.
