Durango closer to getting Colorado TV
- Thread starter mvcg66b3r

As an alternative, Colorado Springs TV should also be considered
JMO.....

It appears there's some omissions and mis-information on this.

Albuquerque and Salt Lake are in HD.
To receive the full compliment of channels,
you need a view of the south end of the
La Plata Mountains. The site is at:
37 21 58 108 08 54 10,200 feet
We do have other subsites to serve the
public that do not have as many channels.
We are a local government entity and funded
by a portion of a mill levy on all real property.
( .777 )
No fees or donations.
Formed as a special district in 1979
Future plans are to continue as we are, always
trying to offer more channels.
The FCC's incentive auction is under way and
we do not know the extent of impact of that
until the auction is completed. It could remove
some frequencies from our lineup. Hopefully
the auction will take a few years, and technology
will advance to be able to compact more channels
in our allowable bandwidth. Currently we utilize
ATSC 1.0 for broadcast and the future will utilize
ATSC 3.0. I believe it is a few years away though.
Montezuma County is a great place to live, and
our board of directors are fully committed to
long term translator broadcasting.

In the area, they receive a full complement of Salt Lake City AND Albuquerque
stations in High Definition. Most of Denver's major stations are available but only
in Standard Definition. They also have a station or two from Grand Junction, CO.
In all, the residents of Cortez and nearby areas have more viewing choices than
many of the biggest markets in the U.S.
