Analog-to-digital conversion
WSST-TV's digital transmitter facilities had operated at low power for several years, due to Sunbelt-South Telecommunications, Ltd. being involved in bankruptcy proceedings.[needs update][2] The station discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 51, on April 15, 2009, less than two months before the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 55 to its former UHF analog channel 51.[3][4]
Programming
Syndicated programs broadcast on WSST-TV include Extra, The Better Show, Entertainment Tonight, The People's Court, and Family Feud.
WSST produces South Georgia Sunrise a 2½ hour morning news and talk program, airing weekdays at 4:00 a.m. and a half-hour late afternoon newscast at 4:00 p.m. The station also produces Midday Magazine, an hour-long talk and lifestyle program that airs weekdays at 10:00 a.m.
