WOSU general manager Tom Rieland told The Columbus Dispatch that Portsmouth has "incredible duplication of PBS signals". In addition to the two primary PBS members serving the Huntington/Charleston market, West Virginia Public Broadcasting flagship WVPB-TV in Huntington and Kentucky Educational Television outlet WKAS in Ashland, Kentucky, Portsmouth also receives PBS programming from WOUB-TV in Athens and WCET in Cincinnati. Some parts of the area also receive the main WOSU-TV signal. WPBO ceased operations October 25, 2017; its license was cancelled two days later. Proceeds from the sale of WPBO remained with WOSU-TV, which will continue operations. In 2015, the partnership with COSI ended with the realization that WOSU had outgrown its space at the Fawcett Center and wanted to continue engage the community through a public space. The new headquarters and office building, designed by Meyers + Associates Architecture, is located just east of the OSU campus on 14th and Pearl Street. Programming Programming produced by WOSU include the concert show Songs at the Center and quiz show In the Know. WOSU also produces Columbus Neighborhoods, an Emmy Award-winning series about neighborhoods in the city of Columbus. Fundraising Throughout most of the 1980s and the 1990s, WOSU had three different titles for its pledge drives: Festival (held every March), Summer Celebration (held every July), and Explore 34 (held every December). WOSU also had its own televised auction special, Auction 34!, later renamed to GO Auction! around 2005. It was usually held every Tuesday-Saturday of the last week of April and the first week of May. Usually, the highest "Big Board" item sold was a Honda motorcycle. Technical information Subchannels The station's digital signal is multiplexed: Analog-to-digital conversion WOSU-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 34, on March 31, 2009. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 38, using PSIP to display WOSU-TV's virtual channel as 34 on digital television receivers. Translator WOSU-TV has one low-power repeater: W18ES-D in Mansfield, located within the Cleveland DMA. The station was also previously repeated by W31AA in Newark, which broadcast on a frequency previously used by WGSF; the repeater signed on July 1, 1976, the day after WGSF closed down. W31AA's license was canceled by the FCC on July 7, 2009; the W31AA call sign was also deleted by the FCC from their database.
