TGOV's Switch to Digital Signal - Some users may be without access

 

On December 12, Cox changed the transmission of TGOV from analog to digital. The City of Tulsa's IT Department and the City Council were not notified of this event. Now, anyone who wants to watch TGOV (on Cox channel 24) must have Cox digital service and a digital converter box at their location. This includes all citizens and all City of Tulsa locations. The result of this action is that TGOV is not visible to Cox customers who do not have digital cable. We are talking with Cox right now about different ways to temporarily restore our analog service until TGOV viewers have adequate time to prepare for the switch to digital.

Citizens with questions, comments or concerns should contact their cable provider (Cox in Tulsa 918-806-6000). TGOV is still available to view at http://tgovonline.org.
