Wood TV 8
Wood TV 8 is the NBC-affiliated television station for West Michigan that is licensed to Grand Rapids. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 7 from a transmitter near Middleville in northwestern Barry County. Owned by the LIN TV Corporation, the station is sister to ABC affiliate WOTV and Class A MyNetworkTV affiliate WXSP-CA. All three share studios on College Avenue Southeast in downtown Grand Rapids. Syndicated programming on Wood TV 8 includes: Inside Edition , Access Hollywood , Ellen , and The Doctors .
In addition to their main signal, Wood TV 8 operates WOGC-CA on UHF channel 25 that is licensed to Holland with a transmitter east of Zeeland along I-196 on the tower of WJQK-FM. This repeater was established around 2002 due to interference from WMVS, a PBS station in Milwaukee, whose digital broadcast is on on channel 8. The signals from that station and Wood TV 8 regularly propagated across Lake Michigan causing interference with each other. After the digital transition on June 12, 2009 with the issues resolved, this channel's purpose is to continue providing analog service to Holland.
