NEBRASKA/SOUTH DAKOTA:
The FCC has cancelled the licenses of four analog TV translator stations:

Red River Broadcast Co.'s K47IC (Milbank, SD),

Independent Communications' K21EN (Yankton, SD), and Pappas Telecasting's WCWH-LP/40 (McCook, NE)

and KBVZ-LP/42 (McCook).

K47IC had relayed NBC affiliate KDLT/46 (Sioux Falls) but went silent earlier this year due to the South Shore tower collapse.


K21EN had relayed FOX affiliate KTTW/7 (Sioux Falls).


WCWH-LP and KBVZ-LP had relayed ABC affiliate KWNB/6 (Hayes Center)

and FOX affiliate KTVG/17 (Grand Island) but went off the air

when KWNB-LD/29 (McCook) converted to digital, carrying both stations. (10/13/2010)

I'm not sure I ever watch those. I don't think I'll miss them.

The original purpose of a translator station was to relay programming from a distant large city to a small town or rural area in the same TV market. They are a dime a dozen in states such as Utah and Minnesota, where TV markets are geographically very large. For example, the Salt Lake City, Utah TV market includes Elko, NV (201 miles) and St. George, UT (270 miles). Under normal reception conditions you obviously can't see a TV station off the air in a locality 270 miles away, so translator stations, which can be fed either from a microwave or terrestrial (if close enough) source need to be constructed there for people to watch those stations off the air.
