CTV Board of Directors approve $450,000 upgrade to 24 transmitters at the Godahl, Jackson, and Frost UHF TV tower sites. These sites will be upgraded in the first quarter of 2021. CTV is owned by four rural electric cooperatives: Brown County REA, BENCO Electric, Federated Rural Electric, and South Central Electric. The new transmitters will be installed mainly on Minneapolis rebroadcasted channels. Two benefits of the new transmitters are they use less energy and each transmitter features adaptive real-time correction of TV signal output. This upgrade will mitigate mechanical issues; however, UHF TV signals will still be subject to the atmospheric conditions that cause signals to disappear during high humidity and summer mornings/evenings. As great as this technology is we still cannot control the atmospheric conditions. If you watch CTV with an UHF antenna become a paying subscriber by filling out the form below and e-mailing to our office at bcrea@bcrea.coop.
