on May 1, 2009

ThinkTV16 and ThinkTV14 will discontinue broadcast of its over-the-air analog channels at 1am on May 1st, 2009.

ThinkTV16/WPTD introduced its multi-cast digital program services to southwestern Ohio on May 1, 2003; a year later ThinkTV14/WPTO went on-the-air with its digital channel line-up. This year, ThinkTV will mark the May 1st anniversary of its digital program services by transitioning ThinkTV16/WPTD and ThinkTV14/WPTO’s over-the-air analog channels to digital.

If you have a television set that receives ThinkTV’s signal using “rabbit ears” or an antenna you must use a digital converter box in order to continue to enjoy your favorite ThinkTV programs. 

Here is some information that should help you identify what you need to do in order to be ready for the digital transition:

If all of your TV sets are connected to cable, satellite or another pay service, check with your provider to find out how they will support your analog set after the digital transition.  If at least one of your television sets is not hooked up to cable, satellite or a pay service you must take action in order to receive a digital broadcast signal.  Your options include:

• Buy a converter box that will plug into your analog TV.

• Buy a TV with a digital tuner.

• Connect your analog TV to cable, satellite or other pay service.
