HDTV is becoming more popular and electronics stores now offer a good selection of HDTV sets. If you have ever looked at one of these sets, you know that the image they display is sharper and wider. It has lifelike pictures and digital sound. The higher resolution produces clarity like you have never seen from a picture tube. Films retain their original width, enhancing your home theater experience. Imagine seeing more of a football field, hearing a concert that sounds like it is in your living room or reading the dimples on a golf ball.
KUSA Channel 9 is currently transmitting from a low power HD transmitter in Downtown Denver (Ch.16 UHF). This site services most of the metro area, but your location/topography and type of antenna will have an impact on receiving this service. You will need an outdoor UHF antenna that should be pointed towards downtown Denver.
We received approval for a high-powered facility on Lookout Mountain in August of 2005, but that approval is being challenged by the City of Golden.
To get more information about this ongoing legal challenge, and details about the HDTV tower, visit http://www.hdtvcolorado.com/. hdtvcolorado.com is produced and managed by the Lake Cedar Group, of which 9NEWS is a member.
Pending a favorable ruling, this facility will take approximately eight to ten months to construct and bring on line.
This facility will allow for "Rabbit Ear" type indoor antenna's to be used and extend this service to all of our normal viewing area.
