Even though the federal government has decalred that all coupons have been spoken for, they are compiling a waiting list to re-assign coupons that have not been claimed or used. Your best strategy is to sign up for them anyway if you do not have them so far and be placed on this waiting list as soon as possible.

PBS39'S DTV HISTORY:
On April 25th, 2003, PBS39 celebrated a major milestone: We met a critical FCC deadline and inaugurated the first regularly scheduled digital TV, or DTV, broadcast service to the Fort Wayne area.

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 Standard-Definition TV (SDTV) Multicasting operations.

At PBS39, our mission is to bring you the very best that TV has to offer every day. PBS39’s Digital TV broadcasts, with clear picture and CD quality sound do that over four digital channels. We're proud to bring our viewers ,ore choices and more programming as part of our tradition of excellence.

With all of our partners, PBS39 is committed to utilizing this new technology 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 education for a lifetime.
