Dearborn’s CDTV Temporarily Off Air March 29-30

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

The City of Dearborn’s Television (CDTV) will temporarily be off the air on Monday, March 29 and part of Tuesday, March 30 during the installation of equipment to enhance the TV station’s operations.

CDTV is channel 12 on Comcast and channel 10 on WOW. (AT&T does not carry CDTV.)

The City of Dearborn says equipment upgrades cannot be performed while the station is broadcasting.

The new equipment, the city said in a press release, replaces aging hardware and will streamline the process of getting programs on the air after they are produced and ready to go.

The old equipment required several time-consuming technical steps to transfer the completed programs onto the broadcasting system.

The City of Dearborn is reminding residents that most of CDTV programming can be viewed any time at www.cityofdearborn.org

In addition, www.cityofdearborn.org posts short videos exclusive to the website.
