History
WTNZ signed on December 31, 1983 as WKCH-TV (nicknamed "Catch 43"), an independent station.
In 1986, WKCH-TV affiliated with Fox, nicknaming as "Catch Fox 43". In 1994, it changed its call letters to the current WTNZ.
Despite the network musical chairs that occurred in Knoxville over the years, WTNZ has been Knoxville's only Fox affiliate during the network's history.
Digital television
The station's digital channel:
Digital channels
| Virtual Channel |
Physical RF Channel |
Video | Aspect | Programming |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 43.1 | 34.1 | 720p | 16:9 | Main WTNZ programming / Fox HD |
Analog-to-digital conversion
After the analog television shutdown and digital conversion, which is tentatively scheduled to take place on February 17, 2009 [1], WTNZ will remain on its current pre-transition channel number, 34. [2] However, through the use of PSIP, digital channel receivers will display WTNZ's virtual channel as 43.
News Operation
Back in the mid 1980s, WTNZ (then WKCH) did a newsbreak each day called "WKCH News". The news and weather was anchored by Phil Rainey, one of the station's staff announcers.
Currently, WTNZ does not have a news department. Instead, it has a "news share" agreement with the market's ABC affiliate WATE-TV which is owned by Young Broadcasting. That station produces a nightly 30-minute newscast which airs on WTNZ at 10 pm.
