   •  WSYX PROGRAM AUDIO ON FM RADIO
 

You will no longer be able to receive WSYX's program audio on the FM.

Currently there is not a viable alternative. There are some small portable digital television sets (7" flat panels) available on the market however we do not know how well these portable receivers work in a mobile moving environment.

The reason you were able to listen to WSYX TV program audio on an FM radio was because the audio portion of the analog television transmission was similar to that of an FM radio station AND that analog channel six was located right next to the FM radio band.

Digital television is not compatible with analog radio transmission and it is not compatible with the new digital radio transmission.
