WHPR is the unofficial call sign of TV channel 33 (officially called W33BY-D), and is a low-power broadcasting station based in Highland Park, Michigan. The station broadcasts from its studios at the corner of Victor and Brush Streets (near the intersection of Woodward Avenue and the Davison Freeway) in Highland Park, with its transmitter located near Burt Road and Capitol Avenue in the Weatherby section of Detroit, shared with radio stations WMUZ and WEXL. The station is a Class-A operation, even though the station's official calls are still translator-style calls. (WHPR's web site ) mentions that it was carried on Comcast channel 20 in Detroit, but as of April 2011, it is unknown whether or not it is actually on Comcast's line-up. ("Local Origination" appears in this channel slot instead.)〔Per channel listings at zap2it.com, zip:"48202".〕 Also, neither Bright House Livonia nor Cogeco Windsor has this channel in their line-ups. Until December 4, 2014, W33BY was also the only remaining American station in the Metro Detroit area to still broadcast only in analog. On April 23, 2014, the station had announced that LocusPoint Networks was beginning procedures to purchase it, making it a sister to WDWO-CD and potential sister to WUDT-LD, if that station is allowed to be sold from Daystar to LocusPoint.〔http://rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=25722#station〕 The sale closed successfully. ==Background== WHPR was the Detroit area's first Black-owned TV station since channel 62 (then WGPR) became a CBS affiliate. The station was owned until 2015 by R.J. Watkins, who, in the late-1980s and early-1990s, hosted and produced a dance program for WGPR-TV, ''The New Dance Show''. The station's television airtime is occupied mostly by phone-in talk shows (most are radio simulcasts), televangelism, paid advertisements, and a children's show called K.E.Y.S. Kids, which encourages kids to "Enjoy Yourselves Without Drugs". W33BY, WHPR-FM, and WVIE-FM, a Virgin Islands radio station owned by Watkins, are also streamed online via their website. W33BY is also on Roku. WVIE-FM has been simulcast on 33.3 since November 7, 2015. And WHPR-FM has been simulcast on 33.2 since November 8, 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「W33BY-D」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
