WILM

A few weeks ago I stopped by our baby sister station WILM. If you ever thought that a TV station needed some sprawling campus to transmit, this place would change your mind. These studios are located in a tiny strip mall in the suburbs of Wilmington, NC.

Wilmington, NC was selected by the FCC to be a test market for the upcoming shutdown of standard analog television service in advance of the official February 17, 2009 shutdown date.

As it stands now, WILM doesn’t broadcast ATSC but we hope to get them online in the next few weeks.
