Notable former on-air staff Dr. Paul Bearer (Dick Bennick) – host of Shock Theatre (1966–1971; deceased) Rich Brenner – sports anchor (1987–2008; deceased) Sharon Crews – news and weather anchor (1977–1980) Mike Hogewood – sports anchor (1985–1987; deceased) Technical information Subchannels The station's digital signal is multiplexed: WGHP broadcasts programming from Antenna TV on digital subchannel 8.2, the subchannel launched on January 1, 2011 as a charter affiliate of the network through an affiliation agreement related to network owner Tribune Broadcasting's management agreement with Local TV. The subchannel uses the on-air branding "TV8.2", a reference to the "TV8" branding used by WGHP from 1977 to 1987. It uses a modified version of the logo that the station used from 1977 to 1982. Analog-to-digital conversion WGHP shut down its analog signal at approximately 11:05 p.m. on June 12, 2009, as part of the FCC-mandated transition to digital television for full-power stations. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 35 to VHF channel 8. The signal had broadcast at full power from an auxiliary tower until the analog transmitter on the main tower was converted two weeks after the transition. Due to the number of complaints from those unable to pick up the signal on channel 8, WGHP received temporary authorization to broadcast an alternate digital signal on UHF channel 35 on August 19, 2009. While technical issues with the channel 8 signal were being worked out, WGHP transmitted digitally on both 8 and 35 beginning on August 19, 2009. On October 14, WGHP requested that the FCC change its digital signal's physical channel from VHF 8 to UHF 35. After the station lost "a sizeable number" of its viewers, the FCC agreed with WGHP's assessment that it would be "best served" by staying on channel 35. On December 15, 2009, the FCC issued a Report & Order, approving WGHP's move from channel 8 to channel 35. At 11:02 a.m. WGHP terminated operations on channel 8 on March 8, 2010, operating solely on channel 35 on a permanent basis. On April 27, 2020, WGHP transferred to channel 31, as part of the FCC's "repack" initiative.
