Analog-to-digital conversion

Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 [1], the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. Instead, on June 12, 2009, which was the end of the digital television conversion period for full-service stations, KPXL turned off its analog signal and turned on its digital signal. The station "flash-cut" its digital signal into operation on its former analog-era UHF channel 26.
