On Tuesday, December 1, WKAG officials met with Charter Cable technicians as a new antenna was installed on the Charter Head End Tower on Ford Road in Clarksville. Antenna was installed at proper height (approximately 140 ft) and tuned accordingly.
Upon completion, a very strong signal was picked up at the antenna, and when converted to a television signal on the ground the picture was clear and sharp. Charter technicians responded that both the picture and sound quality were “good”.
To our eye, the signal looked as good as the signals we see in our lobby that are fed directly from either local cable or directly from our distribution equipment in the control room.
From our perspective, the end goal has been achieved. That end goal, was Charter’s request that WKAG provide a good quality “over the air signal” to their head end to replace the fiber feed that was recently removed.
This has been done, and was proven by Tuesday’s actions.
WKAG is anxiously awaiting our return to Charter in Clarksville and the return of programming of local interest that is not found anywhere else on Charter’s programming lineup.
