television station in metro Atlanta, operating on channel 22. The station, which was recently silent (off-the-air ), is located atopSweat Mountain (coord|84|04|1|N|84|27|23|W|display=inline,title|name=WSKC-CA transmitter), and has a somewhatdirectional antenna , originally aimed generally southeast towardAtlanta . It was issued aconstruction permit to change from channel 59 at the same power, and to rotate the existing antenna about 45°counterclockwise toward the east. The originaldigital TV allotment for WGTV TV 8 was changed from 22 to 12 (and then to 8 in thedigital channel election ).The original callsign from
1984 was W04BR on channel 4. It was briefly assigned W59CZ in1995 or1996 after changing channels to 59. It became WSKC-LP after that, and still identifies itself as such though itssuffix has now been changed with theupgrade to class A The station is owned byKM Communications Inc. , and has Atlanta as itscity of license , though it reaches very little if any of the city.The station has a
construction permit toflash cut todigital TV on channel 22 at 800 watts, and an application filed in earlyAugust 2008 to increase this to 10 kilowatts. This gives abroadcast range equivalent to a 50kWanalog TV station, however its current analog facility is 150kW. The latest application also specifies that the verydirectional antenna point to the southeast again (instead of east), where it would cover its actualcity of license of Atlanta, as well asSandy Springs .WSKC-CA is currently
simulcasting WATC TV 57, which is unusual because they both transmit from the same location, making its entire coverage arearedundant . It is unclear why this is so, or when the station might resume its own programming.External links
