The first television station on the air in Omaha 60 years ago is now the first commercial TV station to go all digital. Our analog sign-off came at noon Tuesday.

Channel 6 switched over to its digital transmitter. The vastly-improved picture quality is just one of the benefits. The more modern technology will allow a host of new interactive video and data services that simply weren't possible with 60-year-old technology.

All analog sets that receive signals from individual antennas will lose their signal from WOWT unless converter boxes are used to translate the new digital signals back to analog. Cable and satellite dish subscribers should not be visibly affected.

Viewers receiving WOWT digitally over the air will need to rescan their converter boxes and/or digital televisions.

With the switch we unfortunately lost a resource we know was valuable to many, our radio station 87.7 FM. You can no longer hear our analog signal over the radio. We understand this is a disappointment, but it is a side effect of the digital change over which WOWT has no control. WOWT is working on a solution.

The transition to digital should affect less than one percent of the Omaha market and WOWT wants to help our viewers make the transition a smooth one and we are prepared to do so, one viewer at a time.
