SHREVEPORT POWER UPGRADE COMPLETED

We have installed a new transmitter for KLTS that has more than doubled the power for that station which serves Northwest Louisiana and parts of East Texas.. If you know someone who has had trouble picking up KLTS with an antenna, ask them to rescan their channels on their digital TV or their converter box to see if they can receive our stronger signal.

We hope to start working on our upgrade in Lake Charles this week and we will also have similar upgrades this year in Baton Rouge and Alexandria that should help us reach more of the state.
