During the transition period, KPDX will cease transmitting the analog broadcast signal, perform transmitter modifications and then begin transmitting the digital stream on UHF 30.
The channel will be KPDX-DT; however, viewers must have their digital TVs and digital tuners rescan and search the broadcast spectrum to find the location of KPDX-DT 49.1.
