We decided to spend some time this week compiling a list of translators and low-power (LPTV) stations in Northern California, almost all of which will continue broadcasting in analog for the foreseeable future. The Federal Communications Commission does not plan on making these stations switch to digital anytime soon, if ever. So, you will be able to continue watching them after February 2009 (assuming that you can receive them now) without a DTV converter. If you have an older TV and DO buy a DTV converter box, be sure to buy one that has analog pass-through capabilities. Otherwise, you will lose reception of these stations entirely.
The below list was compiled from the U.S. Department of Commerce (NTIA), and is current as of January 2008. We’ve added an *asterisk in front of stations licensed in Humboldt, Trinity, Del Norte and Southern Mendocino Counties in Northern California. Keep in mind, these stations all transmit using very little power, so picking up any of them is rather tricky. As far as I know, this is the most comprehensive list of translators available for the area, and the only one that lists network affiliations and the names of the stations that operate invividual translators.
One fact that I find particularly interesting is that we have more LPTV stations and translators in rural Northern California than you will find in any major metropolitan area, such as Los Angeles or San Francisco. In fact, San Francisco seems to only have a single LPTV broadcaster. Also, the localities given do not always seem to reflect the actual location of the translators in all cases. Broadcasters are not required to disclose the “exact” location of their transmitting facilities, which can make it extremely difficult to determine which direction to point you antenna in for the best reception. This is especially true at UHF frequencies (channels 14 and up), where you likely won’t see any signal at all if you don’t aim an antenna in precisely the right direction.
Another interesting factoid is the large number of low-power television stations that have been licensed in the Eureka area. Despite having been granted construction permits, none of the channels currently assigned to “MS Communications” have ever broadcast a signal, to the best of our knowledge. Apparently, MS Communications holds the licenses for literally hundreds of LPTV stations across the country, none of which seem to be operational. It is doubtful that there will ever be any television programming on these stations.
We’ve added comments where appropriate, including network affiliations.

We decided to spend some time this week compiling a list of translators and low-power (LPTV) stations in Northern California, almost all of which will continue broadcasting in analog for the foreseeable future. The Federal Communications Commission does not plan on making these stations switch to digital anytime soon, if ever. So, you will be able to continue watching them after February 2009 (assuming that you can receive them now) without a DTV converter. If you have an older TV and DO buy a DTV converter box, be sure to buy one that has analog pass-through capabilities. Otherwise, you will lose reception of these stations entirely.
