Proposed shutoff of old (1.0) signals

July 2027
Current FCC rule keeps 1.0 simulcasts through July 17, 2027

What this means today: every full-power station in Shreveport is still sending a signal your current antenna TV can receive. 2 stations (KSHV-TV, KPXJ) have become a NextGen TV “host,” so its old-format programming now comes from a different station’s signal — rescanning your TV picks it up.

What’s coming: broadcasters have asked the FCC to let stations in the smaller markets switch off old-format signals starting February 2030. If that happens, TVs without an ATSC 3.0 tuner will need a converter box to keep receiving these channels. The FCC is expected to decide by the end of 2026.

Every station in Shreveport

“On 3.0” means the station’s programming is available in NextGen TV format. “3.0 host” means the station’s transmitter carries the new format only, and its old-format programming moved to another station’s signal (rescan to find it). Source: FCC licensing records.

What to do now

  1. Rescan your TV. If a channel disappeared recently, it probably moved to a host station’s signal. Settings → Channels → Auto scan.
  2. Find out if your TV already has a 3.0 tuner. Use the tuner check. If it does, you’re done.
  3. Don’t buy a converter box yet unless you want 3.0 features now. Prices are falling and the FCC hasn’t set a date. We’ll tell you when it’s time.
