despite its power and height. It was all but unviewable over-the-air in much of the Indiana side of the market, even in digital. To make up for this shortfall in coverage, WBKI-TV set up a Class A translator on channel 28 at the Kentuckiana tower farm northeast of Floyds Knobs shortly after becoming a WB affiliate. WBKI-TV was the first Louisville-area station to exclusively transmit a digital signal. Before Cascade Broadcasting was forced into bankruptcy, the company asked for permission to move WBKI-TV's license to Bardstown, an outer suburb of Louisville. Presumably, this change would have allowed it to build a new full-power transmitter closer to Louisville and shut down the channel 28 repeater. The station subsequently chose to keep its license in Campbellsville, and upgrade WBKI-CA to digital as well. The repeater was not mandated by federal law to shut down its analog signal during the 2009 transition because it was not a full-power outlet. The FCC provided Class A and low-power stations a grace period of two years after the original digital transition deadline in order to switch to digital. In 2010, Fusion sold WBKI-CA to religious broadcaster Daystar, which now operates it as an owned-and-operated station of the network; however, it retains the WBKI-LP call letters (which it took after surrendering its Class A status in May 2013). When Block entered into the LMA with WBKI-TV, WDRB general manager Bill Lamb promised to give WBKI-TV a significant technical overhaul. Part of that overhaul came on July 16, 2012, when WBKI-TV's programming began to be simulcast on WMYO's third digital subchannel (downconverted to 720p HD), finally giving the station full coverage in some form across the entire Louisville market over-the-air. Out-of-market coverage area WBKI-TV claimed the largest coverage area of any television station in Kentucky due to the location of the station's transmitter near the geographical center of the state of Kentucky. The station's over-the-air signal provided at least secondary coverage (Grade B signal or better) from the Dale Hollow Reservoir area along the Tennessee state line to parts of Southern Indiana in areas along the Ohio River. Besides most of the Kentucky segment of the Louisville market, it served large portions of the Lexington and Bowling Green markets. Consequently, WBKI-TV maintained solid coverage on most cable systems in these areas for most of its tenure as an affiliate of The WB. For all intents and purposes, it
