WOWT's signal is free and will provide viewers with mobility for weather or emergency information in addition to regular programming and local news. WOWT Executive VP/GM, Charlie Peterson explains, "Mobile TV is important to our communities for emergency news and weather information, as well as entertainment. We are excited to be the first to offer this to our viewers." WOWT, an NBC affiliate, has been testing the mobile signal since the digital upgrade early this year.
