Las Vegas TV station moves from old analog channel to modern digital one

A Las Vegas television station is changing its broadcast frequency from an old analog channel to a newer digital one. This switch means viewers will get better signal quality, especially in the station's local area.

Broadcasting on very low-frequency channels, like channel 2, has always been difficult because signals travel far and interfere with other stations. Moving to a higher-frequency digital channel solves this problem for the station and its viewers. This change also frees up valuable low-frequency spectrum, which the FCC can then reallocate for other uses, like wireless internet.
