Tomorrow, May 21st, will see Panama City FL's NBC station, WJHG, move its physical transmissions from channel 7 to channel 18 while retaining 7 as its display channel. Its subcarriers, CW (7.2) and retransmission of WECP/CBS (7.3), will follow appropriate suit. WECP, which currently transmits OTA on channel 18, will move to channel 29 along with its subcarriers My Network TV (to 29.2) and local weather (to 29.3). Both stations are owned by Gray Communications and originate from the same studio building.

Panama City FL changes in effect tomorrow
- Thread starter Ccook55
- Start date
per the filing back in 2011
We believe the public interest will be served by substituting channel 18 for channel 7 at
Panama City. Gray states that “This channel substitution serves the public interest by resolving significant
over-the-air reception problems in certain areas of WJHG’s predicted service area . . ..”
After two power increases and numerous attempts to resolve viewers’ reception complaints, Gray concludes that the best
solution is to move to a UHF channel.
In addition, the proposed facility will increase the net total
population served by the station.
