The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received a petition from KRCG Licensee, LLC, seeking to change the channel that broadcasts KRCG in Jefferson City, Missouri, from channel 12 to channel 29. This proposed change aims to improve signal reception for viewers, as VHF channels like channel 12 often face issues with reception and require larger antennas. By switching to a UHF channel, KRCG anticipates better indoor reception and enhanced service across various devices. The petition states that no loss of service is expected and instead promises better signal quality for KRCG's audience. Comments on this proposed rule can be submitted until March 22, 2021, with reply comments due by April 5, 2021.
Simple Explanation
KRCG wants to change their TV channel number from 12 to 29 because the new number will help people watch their shows better, especially inside their houses or on gadgets like phones. This switch is supposed to make the picture and sound clearer for everyone without causing any problems.
