KIRKSVILLE, MO./OTTUMWA, IOWA -- Analog television will soon do a disappearing act.

At 3 p.m. on June 12, KTVO and other full-power TV stations across the country will shut off their analog signals and broadcast solely in digital, as required by the federal government.

Fact Finder reveals what happens after that.

KTVO President and General Manager Carol Kellum said that sometime after June 12, KTVO will be adding equipment to boost its digital signal.

The exact timeline of that equipment's arrival is not clear just yet.
