As part of the 600 MHz spectrum auction that was mandated by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. as well as Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, CHWI-DT-60 moved from UHF 26 to UHF 17 by turning off its old transmitter at 12:01 a.m., and turning its new one on at roughly 2 a.m. on April 29. The station decreased power slightly from 200 to 162 watts, and slightly decreased its height on the Victoria Park Place apartment tower from 93.8 to 89 metres, all to maintain roughly equal coverage in comparison to its previous analog and digital operations at that site.
