KAEF has reached a retransmission agreement with Suddenlink (Eureka) and Charter (Crescent City).
The agreements reached allow these service providers the clearance to retransmit our local HD signal to their subscribers.
We are in the process of upgrading our program delivery system to improve the signal quality and add HD capabilities to our over the air transmission. All of our translators will remain analog standard definition.
If you are a subscriber to Suddenlink or Charter carriers, please check for updates to their systems as our HD network programming becomes available. We estimate that we will have ABC network HD capabilities by the Fall of 2009.

The K20CN Rio Dell translator is currently broadcasting the KAEF digital signal.

The K25CI translator at Klamath is slated to cease operation sometime in 2009/2010 as that site owner is dissolving operations there.
