The station is a broadcast relay station of the Kentucky Educational Television network (KET) serving far eastern Kentucky, portions of the Virginia panhandle, and far western West Virginia. As a KET satellite, the station is a PBS affiliate owned by the Kentucky Authority for Educational Television.[1] The station's master control hub and internal operations are located at KET's main studios at the O. Leonard Press Telecommunications Center in Lexington, Kentucky. The station transmits its signal on UHF channel 24 (virtual channel 22 via PSIP) from a transmitter tower located at Flatwoods, Kentucky, in southern Pike County. HistoryThe station signed on the air on September 23, 1968 at 3:00 PM Eastern time, as one of the ten charter stations of the Kentucky Educational Television network.[2][3] All of the network's satellites were strategically located to serve as much of the state as possible. Digital televisionThe station's digital television companion signal, WKPI-DT, along with the digital companions of thirteen other KET stations (except WKPC and WKMJ) signed on the air in May 2002.[3] Digital channels
Analog-to-Digital television transitionOn April 16, 2009, WKPI-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 22 as part of the mandatory analog-to-digital television transition of 2009. The deadline was moved from February 17 to June 12 of that year as part of the DTV Delay Act, but all KET stations completed the transition on April 16.[5] The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 24. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 22. Spectrum incentive auction resultsWKPI-TV currently holds a construction permit to reallocate its digital signal onto UHF channel 23. This is part of the network's participation in the 2016-17 FCC Spectrum incentive auction. The station must relocate its digital signal to its new allocation no later than the time period within September 2019 and/or early October 2019.[6][7] AvailabilityOver-the-airThe WKPI-TV digital signal covers southern portions of its home market, the Charleston/Huntington, West Virginia market, the far western portion of the Bluefield/Beckley, West Virginia market, northern portions of the Tri-Cities market and the far eastern reaches of the Lexington market. The signal coverage includes areas from Hyden, Kentucky to near Richlands, Virginia, and from Duffield, Virginia to the Louisa, Kentucky area. Other cities within range include Chapmanville and Williamson, West Virginia; Big Stone Gap, Virginia; and Jenkins, Kentucky.[8] As it is with most other KET stations, over-the-air signal covers some of the same areas as those of some of KET's other stations. In WKPI's case, it overlaps with WKAS/Ashland and WKHA/Hazard, as well as low-powered translator W28DD-D in Louisa. In fact, WKPI's over-the-air signal also reaches the Hazard area; thus WKPI serves as a backup KET satellite for the Hazard area should WKHA experience difficulties. Certain areas of the station's West Virginia sector of the coverage area is also within range of West Virginia Public Broadcasting flagship WVPB-TV’s signal from Huntington, West Virginia, as well as that of WVPB affiliate WSWP-TV in Bluefield. Cable availabilityKET's statewide cable coverage includes several locally owned cable systems in eastern Kentucky, including Inter-Mountain Cable and Big Sandy TV Cable. It is also carried on Suddenlink cable systems in Pikeville, Kentucky and Logan, West Virginia.[9] See also
