WKSU option #1
[edit]Technical information
[edit]HD broadcasting
[edit]WKSU broadcasts over the following four digital subchannels using the proprietary HD Radio standard:[7]
- WKSU-HD1 is a simulcast of WKSU's analog feed.
- WKSU-HD2 airs folk music from FolkAlley.com.
- WKSU-HD3 simulcasts WCLV (with Classical 24 programming in the overnight hours) branded "All Classical".
- WKSU-HD4 carries an alternate schedule of news and talk programming from NPR and the BBC World Service branded "News and More". The Takeaway and As It Happens air exclusively on this channel, along with Folk Alley and locally produced ethnic shows on Sunday nights.[8]
Repeaters and boosters
[edit]Although WKSU operates at relatively modest power for a full NPR member, its 908-foot (277 m) tower in Copley Township allows it to provide at least grade B coverage to most of Greater Cleveland to the north, with Cleveland itself getting a city-grade signal albeit with some weaknesses in places like Ohio City, Cleveland Heights[9] and Lake County due to the region's topography.[10][11] WKSU extends its reach via the following full-power satellites and on-channel boosters, which rebroadcast WKSU's four HD Radio signals. With the exception of WCPN, which is fully owned by Ideastream Public Media, all are directly owned by Kent State University and operated by Ideastream:[7][12][13]
