From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
W38CU is a low-power class A TV station on channel 38 in metro Atlanta. Owned by Korean American TV Broadcasting, it broadcasts Spanish-language network, Telemundo.
The station was originally on Sweat Mountain, licensed to Roswell, Georgia on channel 67, and assigned W67CI from 1990 until changing in 2000. The change came as the FCC has forced all LPTV stations to move out of channels 52 to 69, as all broadcasters are being forced to digital TV, and the upper channels sold off for other purposes. Programming prior to the change was mostly in Korean.
W38CU currently shares channel 38 with a modified construction permit for another class A LPTV station, WYGA-CA. That station is currently licensed to channel 55, and has applied to change its CP from channel 38 to 45, along with a major upgrade in power. While W38CU is listed with only 4.62 kW of ERP, it may upgrade later once WDAH-CA has been approved on 45. W38CU uses a somewhat directional antenna with a cardioid (heart-shaped) pattern, positioned just south of Norcross, Georgia, and with the slight null to the northeast. It does not appear to reach as far southwest as Atlanta, its city of license. A CP issued for the station will reduce coverage to the north and east even further.
This station has a permit to construct W47DN-D as its digital companion channel on 47.
