PBS39'S DTV HISTORY:
On
April 25th, 2003, PBS39 celebrated a major milestone: We met a critical FCC deadline and
at the same time, inaugurated the first regularly scheduled digital TV, or DTV,
broadcast service to the Fort Wayne area. Later, we were the first TV station to offer 'round-the-clock high-definition TV (HDTV) broadcasts.
Since then we have been able to add on to our digital broadcast capability, culminating in our becoming the first TV broadcaster in our service region to begin continuous Standard-Definition TV (SDTV) Multicasting operations.
We completed this buildout and transition to All-Digital TV Broadcasting at Midnight, February 17th, 2009
when we ceased normal analog broadcast operations.
At PBS39, our mission is to bring you the very best that TV has to offer every day. We're proud to bring our viewers more choices and more programming as part of our tradition of excellence.
With all of our partners, PBS39 is committed to utilizing digital TV to build and strengthen our community at large. We and our partners in progress have a vision - and are working toward this vision daily - to help the community we serve become stronger and more competitive in national and global arenas by supporting equal access to programming and content that promotes lifelong learning learning.
