WNKY-DT2 is the CBS-affiliated television station for South Central Kentucky. The station is a second digital subchannel of NBC affiliate WNKY owned by Max Media. Over-the-air, it broadcasts a standard definition digital signal on UHF channel 16.2 (virtual channel 40.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Pilot Knob in Smiths Grove along I-65. Known on-air as ''CBS 40'', its parent station has studios on Emmett Avenue in Bowling Green. This station can also be seen on Time Warner Cable channels 10 (SD) and 912 (HD), as well as Dish Network channel 4.〔(Time Warner Cable - Channel Lineup for Bowling Green )〕 It can also be viewed on South Central Rural Telephone Cooperative (SCRTC) cable channels 2 (SD) and 302 (digital HD).〔(SCRTC Channel Lineup for Barren, Metcalfe, and Hart Counties (2015) )〕 There is no separate website for this station. From its inception until 2013, its local logo includes the network's "eye logo" representing the "0" in "40". ==History== The CBS Television Network never had an affiliated station in the Bowling Green media market even after it was made out of areas that were formerly of the Nashville and Louisville markets. Bowling Green was one of the only few areas of the eastern United States east of the Mississippi River to not have their own CBS station. Two distant CBS affiliates were the default CBS stations for the Bowling Green area, and they were WTVF NewsChannel 5 in Nashville, and WLKY-TV channel 32 in Louisville. Cable providers in the area carried either one or both of these stations, so cable was necessary to get the two stations, although WTVF had a signal strong enough to cover most of the Bowling Green DMA. In the Fall of 2006, when digital TV began to be more utilized, WNKY, the NBC affiliate in Bowling Green, signed a long-term agreement with CBS to air the network on a new second digital subchannel.〔(Breaking news - CBS Signs Long-Term Affilation Agreement with Max Media for Station in Bowling Green, Kentucky | TheFutonCritic.com (October 11, 2006) )〕 The new CBS-affiliated sub-channel officially launched as WNKY-DT2 on February 1, 2007. ABC affiliate WBKO began carrying the Fox network (WNKY's original affiliated network 1992-2001) and The CW on their second and third digital subchannels, respectively, in September 2006, and now, with CBS available on WNKY-DT2, and with the MyNetworkTV programming service and classic TV-specialty network Antenna TV available via WCZU-LD channel 39 since early 2014, the only major network or programming service Bowling Green does not currently have is ION Television. ION is only available via cable or satellite television, or through ION O&O Cookeville-licensed WNPX-TV in Nashville, which would be the default over-the-air ION station. In early January 2015 just before the 2014-15 NFL Playoffs, WNKY-DT2 began broadcasting in 16:9 Standard definition widescreen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WNKY-DT2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
