The local PBS affiliate is trying to buy a new building, an abandoned Jumbo Sports visible from US153, for $1.3 million.
Victor Hogstrom, general manager... said, "Relocation of WTCI will provide... more space to accommodate both the digital and the analog equipment, since WTCI will have to simulataneously broadcast both Chattanooga 45-TV and Chattanooga 29-DT, for three to five years."
The station has been seeking to raise at least $1.6 million to meet a May 1, 2003, federal deadline to begin broadcasting its programming with a digital signal.
