Master control functions for KVOS-TV, an independent station that serves Bellingham, WA, and Vancouver, British Columbia, are now handled by Clear Channel Television’s (CCTV) operations center (TOC) in Tulsa, OK.
The independent station joins the UPN and FOX affiliates in Tulsa as clients of Clear Channel’s all-digital facility.
The facility provides a digital broadcast stream that includes programming, commercials and transmitter monitoring information. Stations can increase or lower power when necessary. CCTV also supplies all emergency alert system operations. KVOS operators are able to switch between the main program feed and the station’s news feed for late-breaking events
