Digital television
Because it was granted an original
construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan onApril 21 ,1997 [http://www.transmitter.com/FCC97115/chanplan.html] , the station did not receive a companion channel for a digitaltelevision station . Instead, on or beforeFebruary 17 ,2009 , which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, WEPX will be required to turn off itsanalog signal and turn on itsdigital signal (called a "flash-cut ").External links
