NOTES: There is a good list of television stations in Ohio at Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Broadcast television stations serving cities in the U.S. state of Ohio.
"Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Development" is another source that I have found for television channel information.
. . . .Note: The Wikipedia listing also has Defunct stations in Ohio, and low power stations listings.
They use identifiers and sort buttons by:
VC refers to the station's PSIP virtual channel. 09 refers to the station's physical RF channel from 2009.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP) is the protocol used in the ATSC digital television system for carrying metadata about each channel in the broadcast transport stream of a TV station and for publishing information about television programs so that viewers can select what to watch by title and description."
To learn more about the Virtual Channel and PSIP, got to the article on Wikipedia.
