OKLAHOMA CITY — Crews are atop the KOCO-TV tower on Friday working to bring down its old analog antenna and are just days away from installing a new digital antenna.

That digital antenna will extend KOCO-TV reception to parts of central Oklahoma that have had a hard time receiving the station’s signal since the analog-to-digital switchover in 2009.

The work on Friday is preliminary, according to KOCO-TV chief engineer David Evans.

Evans explained that on Friday, a crew of four will do some preparatory work to stabilize the antenna before using a cutting torch to begin the removal process. Once that process begins, it constitutes a “point of no return,” he said, and the analog antenna will come down.

The next step after that, which will not happen on Friday, is to install the digital antenna. With good weather, that could happen next week.
