I can't receive KRCW anymore. Have they switched over to digital, because through cable I can get it just fine. I thought they weren't switching until June 12. Are they having problems?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.250.225 (talk) 02:09, 8 May 2009 (UTC) 

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on KRCW-TV. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20130829004251/http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-06-1082A2.pdf to http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-06-1082A2.pdf
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This is kind of an unknowable section which is a bit strange. The reason it is uncited is because no source is going to spell it out very easily.
Translators typically work by rebroadcasting an entire multiplex (6 MHz of space), so all the channels on it. Think of it as a lunchbox. Once upon a time, the lunchbox had one item in it. Now, there are four or five thanks to digital subchannels. ATSC 3.0 hosting arrangements rely on this to create new-format service without removing the channel from existing sets.
When a station converts to ATSC 3.0, the translator equipment in use can't handle the new signal. The equipment needed for 3.0 rebroadcasting is typically greater than 1.0 rebroadcasting. I only know of one operating 3.0 translator, in Taos, New Mexico. It just went into service in April. In any event, it doesn't matter because the translator association or station group often has a translator at the same site for the ATSC 1.0 host station. Instead of 32.1 coming in the lunchbox labeled "32", now 32.1 is packed away in the lunchbox that carries 2.1, 2.2, etc.
A 3.0 conversion makes lists of translators highly inaccurate for this reason. In some cases, we know the translator has been switched to some other station. In others, we don't. But we know that, except in Taos, it is not rebroadcasting KRCW directly.
KRCW had two translators listed for it in 2025, one of which apparently switched to KOIN and the other has no current information. There is a large hidden comment about this.
The only correct thing to do is point to the lists of translators of KRCW's ATSC 1.0 hosts, KATU and KOIN. Those aren't affected.
