TBN-owned full-power stations permanently ceased analog transmissions on April 16, 2009.
KITU-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 34, on that date. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 33.[3] Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 34.
