A Nevada TV station wants to move its signal to a lower channel number

A television station in Henderson, Nevada, wants to change the channel it broadcasts on. It has asked the Federal Communications Commission to move it from channel 24 to channel 9.

Television channels are assigned by the government. Changing a channel number is a bureaucratic process, but it can affect how many people can easily find a station. Lower channel numbers are often considered more desirable because they are easier for viewers to remember and access.
