WATCH – WVPB's Morgantown TV Upgrade Brings Stronger Signal To Northern West Virginia

WVPB's transmitter tower for WNPB-TV and WVPM 90.0 Radio sits atop Cooper Rock State Forest

The WVPB Engineering team has completed an upgrade to Coopers Rock TV signal that serves Morgantown and northern West Virginia. The move from an aging, patchworked transmitter increases the signal power from 166,00 to 660,000 watts, giving WVPB the ability to reach more local communities with a stronger signal.

Engineering Director Dave McClanahan talks about this first step in bringing “next gen television” to the Mountain State.
