A new 4,000-watt translator atop Cohasset Ridge has strengthened KIXE-TV’s signal in the Chico, Paradise and Oroville areas. Viewers who rely on over-the-air broadcasts should re-scan their digital TVs or digital converter boxes to ensure they enjoy the improved reception. The translator, located 200 feet up on a transmission tower, rebroadcasts KIXE’s regular programming lineup as well as the popular CREATE channel. Viewers in the Magalia and Orland areas who have had trouble receiving KIXE’s digital signal should also notice a significant improvement now that the translator is online. Viewers as far west as Red Bluff and Corning also should benefit from the stronger signal. The translator will broadcast on Channel 18 (a UHF signal) but viewers’ TV sets will “see” it as Channel 9-1 (KIXE’s traditional lineup) and 9-2 (CREATE). For more information call (530) 243-5493.
