News: WKYC Becomes The "Nightlight" Station for Cleveland Market Friday

Starting Friday morning at 10 a.m., WKYC will become the "nightlight" station for the Cleveland, Akron and Canton market area after tomorrow's switch to all digital television.

That means WKYC's analog signal on Channel 3 will remain on the air for 2 more weeks to help inform digital stragglers about what to do to receive digital TV.

The programming on this channel will only be DTV transition and EAS information in English and Spanish. In other words, if a viewer can see this channel 3 analog signal on their TV, they will see and hear a message that they have a problem.

The programming on the channel will help them understand what they need to do to receive a digital TV signal.

Most of the Cleveland stations will flip the all digital switch at 10 a.m. Friday morning.
