On April 1, 1982, the ON TV service expanded to 20 hours per day. At that time, the FCC required that broadcast stations operate for at least four hours per day. The station ran "New Zoo Revue" at 8 a.m., "Jimmy Swaggart" at 8:30, "The PTL Club" at 9 a.m., "The 700 Club" at 10 a.m., and "INN Midday Edition" at 11:30. After noon, ON TV now made up the rest of the broadcast day. The station at that point went 24 hours a day. There was a short time in January 1983 when WBTI extended some afternoon programming from noon to 2 p.m. running the hour-long edition of "The 700 Club" and some other religious programs. That June, however, in a cost-cutting move, WBTI cut back its commercial programs to the 90-minute edition of "The 700 Club" on weekdays, with ON TV the rest of the day and weekends except for three further hours of religious programs on Sunday mornings. ON TV was beginning to face a tough road. After much delay, the Warner-Amex cable service QUBE became available within the Cincinnati city limits in early 1983, making ON TV less attractive to viewers. In October 1983, United Cable, which had acquired 80 percent of Buford's three STV operations, wrote down the entire unit and offered the systems for sale.
