[edit] -DT Television stations

A lot of people have the misconception that all U.S. television stations have the appendix of -TV for their analog transmission and -DT for their digital transmission. This is not the case. A fair number of stations do have the call sign of W/Kxxx-TV; however, there are very few stations that have the FCC call sign of W/Kxxx-DT. I am going to try and keep a list here of the examples I find. In parentheses are other article names that might be related to this station.

1. KCGE-DT (KCGE KCGE-TV)
   • Query the FCC's TV station database for KCGE-DT
2. KUID-DT (KUID KUID-TV)
   • Query the FCC's TV station database for KUID-DT
3. WBKI-DT (WBKI WBKI-TV)
   • Query the FCC's TV station database for WBKI-DT
4. WBPH-DT (WBPH WBPH-TV)
   • Query the FCC's TV station database for WBPH-DT

9. WPJT-DT (WPJT WPJT-TV) - (Also broadcasts an NTSC signal using this callsign)
