Federal Communications Commission DA 26-233 DA 26-233 Released: March 11, 2026 MEDIA BUREAU ANNOUNCES TV TRANSLATOR CALL SIGN CHANGES The Media Bureau announces that the call signs of the television translator (TV translator) stations listed in the Appendix to this notice (Stations) have been automatically modified to bring them into compliance with a recently-adopted Commission rule change. The Stations in the Appendix were also notified by e-mail of their call sign change using address(es) in the Licensing and Management System. On December 19, 2025, the Commission adopted a change to the TV translator call sign rule, 47 CFR § 74.791(b), requiring that TV translator station call signs “be made up of a prefix consisting of the initial letter K or W followed by the channel number assigned to the station and two additional letters and a suffix consisting of the letter –D….” 47 CFR § 74.791(b); Amendment of the Commission’s Rules to Advance the Low Power Television, TV Translator and Class A Television Service, MB Docket No. 24-148, Report and Order, FCC 25-84, paras. 41-42 (rel. Dec. 19, 2025) (Report and Order). The Commission stated that it would “automatically modify” non-compliant TV translator calls signs to align with the proper convention thirty days after the effective date of the revised rule. Id. The rule change became effective on February 23, 2026. Report and Order, Final Rule, 91 FR 2861 (Jan. 23, 2026); Media Bureau Announces Effective Date for LPTV Advancement Report and Order, MB Docket No. 24-148, Public Notice, DA 26-90 (rel. Jan. 27, 2026) (Effective Date PN). The amended rule did not contain new or modified information collection requirements and did not require approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 prior to becoming effective. Id. The process of modifying non-compliant TV translator call signs is now complete. Some stations with non-compliant call signs elected to modify their service designation from TV translator to LPTV instead of having their call sign modified. See Report and Order at n.181 (estimating that 82 TV translator stations had non-compliant call signs). Those stations are not listed in the Appendix. While the Commission awaits final OMB approval of its revised “change in service designation” rule (e.g., TV translator to LPTV and vice-versa), Id. at para. 38; Effective Date PN at 1, stations may submit such requests by sending a letter by e-mail to Kevin.Harding@fcc.gov. Stations that change service designation must comply with all Commission rules applicable to their new class of service as of the date of the change in designation–including but not limited to the Commission’s rules related to emergency alerting. See, generally, 47 CFR Part 11 (Emergency Alert System). Each Station’s license and any active construction permit or other authorization has been re-issued with the new call sign. The Stations are also reminded to update the call sign that is transmitted in their on-air station identification. See 47 CFR § 74.783(b).

This action is taken by the Chief, Media Bureau, pursuant to authority delegated by 47 CFR §§ 0.61 and 0.283. – FCC – APPENDIX Facility ID No. Old Call Sign New Call Sign City State 168769 WSFG-LD W31FM-D BERRY AL 60836 KJNE-LD K22PF-D JONESBORO AR 168349 KMEE-LD K32PG-D PHOENIX AZ 70394 KHAX-LD K25RF-D VISTA CA 32315 KXZQ-LD K35PU-D DURANGO CO 130616 KLML-LD K36QV-D GRAND JUNCTION CO 126708 WHMR-LD W16CA-D HOMESTEAD FL 4323 WKIZ-LD W29FX-D KEY WEST FL 6040 WVFW-LD W08EV-D MI NOAMI FL 168060 WGEN-LD W08EW-D MIAMI FL 74118 WKMG-LD W21DX-D OCALA FL 126225 WQIX-LD W25GF-D BAXLEY GA 49237 WKSY-LD W24FJ-D ROME GA 181753 KBCI-LD K09ZC-D BONNERS FERRY ID 167859 KMNZ-LD K31QK-D COEUR D'ALENE ID 67788 WEIJ-LD W17EX-D FORT WAYNE IN 68035 WSWY-LD W20FE-D INDIANAPOLIS IN 186921 KGKT-LD K14TN-D LAWRENCE KS 56518 KSMI-LD K30RF-D WICHITA KS 61015 WBNM-LD W25GD-D LOUISVILLE KY 67780 WJGP-LD W25GE-D KALAMAZOO MI 68046 KSFZ-LD K29OM-D SPRINGFIELD MO 197856 KJJC-LD K07AAR-D HELENA MT 40102 KEXI-LD K35PV-D KALISPELL MT 67967 WCEE-LD W17EY-D CHARLOTTE NC 182320 WILT-LD W33FF-D WILMINGTON NC 189163 WYCU-LD W26FR-D CHARLESTOWN, ETC.
