Analog-to-digital conversion

WSST-TV's digital transmitter facilities had operated at low power for several years, due to Sunbelt-South Telecommunications, Ltd. being involved in bankruptcy proceedings.[2] The station discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 55, on April 15, 2009. The station's digital signal broadcasts on its pre-transition UHF channel 51.[3][4]
