NOTES:

"Transmitter Channel" is the channel number the station actually transmits on.  See the Virtual Channel Listing for a station list by virtual channel number.

"Virtual Channel" is the channel to which the signal is aliased.  A signal transmitted by the station causes this number to be used on viewers' sets.  Stations are required by the FCC to use their former analog channel number as their Virtual Channel since viewers are familiar with that numbering system and station identification.

Several sub-channels (programs) can be transmitted on each digital television channel. To distinguish a station's sub-channels, decimals or dashes are added after the channel number - for example 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3, or 7-1, 7-2 and 7-3. Most tuners will not show any digital signals at all until you've had the tuner do a "scan", and if a station has made changes in its lineup, these tuners will not show those changes until you scan again.

-- ERP = Effective Radiated Power
-- HAAT = Height Above Average Terrain
-- H = Transmits in High Definition (HDTV)
-- L = Low Power Station
-- Major San Francisco sites are in red.
-- Major Sacramento site is in green.
