TBN-owned full-power stations permanently ceased analog transmissions on April 16, 2009.[1]

KETH-TV discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 14, on that date.[2] The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 24, using PSIP to display KETH-TV's virtual channel as 14 on digital television receivers.

Programming

As with other Community Educational Television stations, KETH carries almost all of the TBN network schedule, as well as some locally produced programs: a local version of Praise the Lord, Up with the Son and Joy in Our Town. In addition to programming from TBN, the station airs educational programming to prepare local students for the General Educational Development (GED) test to fulfill the requirements under their license service.

gollark: That's extremely of you.
gollark: Microcontrollers and annoying low-level CPU details and whatever, I assume.
