TBN-owned full-power stations permanently ceased analog transmissions on April 16, 2009.[2]

WMCF-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 45, on that date. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 46,[3] using PSIP to display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 45.
