Will Toledo PBS Stations Go Off the Air?

Many TV viewers could lose their PBS programs if one or both of the Toledo region’s PBS stations sell out and go off the air to make way for more frequencies for cellphones and other mobile devices. WBGU, owned by Bowling Green State University, is strongly considering selling its license during the FCC's buy-back auction next year. WGTE, an educational station based in Toledo for 63 years, may consider the auction, but is less likely to sell, according to executives.

This move is going to rile up their viewers and supporters who want to see a alternative to what is being offered on commercial television. You can guarantee that they will find a way to stop this from happening.

If the NAB can't stop it, what chance do you think lowly viewers have?
 
WBGU-TV to move to new channel following FCC spectrum auction

Bowling Green State University announced today that WBGU-TV will continue broadcasting in the UHF spectrum following the conclusion of the FCC’s broadcast incentive auction. However, the station will be moving to a new channel.

While ensuring the station would continue broadcasting, BGSU participated in the auction. The university voluntarily withdrew from the process last month.

The FCC informed BGSU that WBGU-TV will be moving from channel 27 to channel 22 as part of the post-auction spectrum “repacking” process. The change is not predicted to have a significant impact on the station’s viewers. While the deadline to move to its new channel has not been finalized, nothing will change for at least 18 months or more. Any costs for the move should be covered by an FCC fund of auction proceeds.
