WDSI-TV
WDSI-TV is the This TV-affiliated television station for Chattanooga, Tennessee. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 40 (virtual channel 61.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Sawyer Cemetery Road in unincorporated Mile Straight. The station can also be seen on Comcast and Charter channel 11. Owned by New Age Media, WDSI operates CW affiliate WFLI-TV (owned by MPS Media, LLC) through a local marketing agreement (LMA). Both stations, in turn, are operated by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner of ABC affiliate WTVC. WDSI and WFLI share studios on East Main Street/SR 8/US 41/US 76 in Chattanooga's Highland Park section.
In addition to its main digital signal, WDSI can be seen off-air on a low-powered analog repeater, WPDP-LP on UHF channel 25 (officially listed by the FCC as a Class A outlet). Licensed to Cleveland, this station has a transmitter on Oswald Dome in unincorporated Polk County (south of Benton Springs) in the Cherokee National Forest.
History
The station signed-on January 24, 1972 with the calls WRIP-TV. It aired an analog signal on UHF channel 61. It was Tennessee's second Independent outlet having launched a little over nine months after the state's first Independent, WMCV in Nashville, went off-the-air but only to return in 1976 as WZTV. It is the state's oldest television station in continuous operation to have never had affiliation with any of the big three networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC). The station was plagued by financial problems not in the least because it was a UHF station serving a small market in a very mountainous area. UHF stations, especially those on high channel numbers, usually do not get good reception at in rugged terrain.
