On February 17, 2009, the nation will complete its move from analog television to a new way of broadcasting called DTV (Digital Television). Television stations must begin broadcasting exclusively in a digital format when this transition takes place. Digital television (DTV) provides higher-quality pictures and audio than analog as well as more programming choices than ever before.

Still have questions? KETC is here to help. We've compiled a playlist of DTV videos to help you prepare for the big switch. And you can visit our DTV Blog: http://ketcdtv.wordpress.com/

What is KETC your source for? We caught up with some Channel 9 viewers just like you that told us what they value in public media.

The St. Louis region is among the areas being hard hit by the mortgage crisis with more foreclosure than the national average. Individuals, families, neighborhoods and businesses throughout our community will feel the devastating effects. But many people can be helped if they know where to turn for trusted information.

Channel 9 has been joined by the United Way of Greater St. Louis and numerous nonprofit organizations throughout our region to connect people with trusted information and free services. Many foreclosures can be prevented by taking the right steps at the right time.
