Spyder Valley Translator District

Starting July 1st, 2015 The Spyder Valley Translator District will begin broadcasting KRJW-TV KRDO-TV and other stations to the Spyder Valley and Riverdale County. The broadcast facility is currently being built near the town of Riverdale, Oreconsin. The location chosen to build is Mount Riverdale, Officially the highest point surrounding the Spyder Valley.

FCC Request
On December 10th, 2014, Riverdale County filed a request with The Federal Communications Commission to build a translator on Mount Riverdale in order to increase signal strength within the Spyder Valley. This is to allow more programming to show within the valley. This need arose when arose in 2012 when the Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005 went into effect June 12th, 2009, forcing all stations to broadcast in a digital signal. Because this signal is a set up weaker than analog, the Spyder Valley lost some TV due to the transition. Yet because there was still enough usable signal within the valley, there wasn't any real need until the authorization was requested.

On January 7th, 2015 the authorization was signed by the FCC and Construction on the new translator began on February 1st, 2015, after the last sections of funding came in.

Signal Testing
Starting July 1st, 2015 Technicians will begin testing signal strength, and receiver power as the translator comes into completion. All testing should be completed by July 15th, when it is expected that everything will be ready to roll. When this happens, the FCC will sign the final decree and The Spyder Valley Translator District will be allowed to re transmit all listed channels as a High Power TV Station. This way the signal will reach the desired coverage area.

Opening Day 2015
Starting at 10:00 AM on July 15th, the local radio stations will announce that if you live in the Spyder Valley, Including Riverdale, Cardelle, Tarranasset Springs, and other areas. To receive the best signal possible, all antennas should be turned towards Mount Riverdale. And to ensure that this message gets to everybody, people will be going around the area giving out the word and answering any and all questions that may arise. People will also be available at Riverdale City Hall for questions as well.

KRZY-DT On The District Translator.
KRZY-DT managed to find a weird loophole in the operations contract for the Spyder Valley Translator District, and using that loophole has managed to secure a place on Spyder Valley's translator for the next 25 years. This means The District will be broadcasting both KRDO and KRZY.
