Digital Television
KING-TV and KONG TV ceased analog broadcasting, effective June 12, 2009, and became digital-only.
In 2009, KONG became one of the first four TV stations in the country to air mobile DTV signals. The OMVC chose KONG and KOMO in Seattle and WPXA and WATL in Atlanta as the stations to beta test the ATSC-M/H standard, which has since been officially adopted for free-to-air broadcast TV with clear reception on mobile devices, overcoming many of the defects of the original ATSC standard.
