* Upgrade: KNSO (Channel 11.1), the local Telemundo affiliate, has switched from analog to a digital signal. Those of you who use an antenna to watch TV will need to re-scan your converter boxes to be able to see the station because it has moved from the old channel of 51.1.

* New show: “Great Valley,” a new public affairs series on KVPT (Channel 18.1), launches at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 5. It will be hosted by David Hosley, president of the nonprofit organization Great Valley Center.

Topics will include population growth, health care, land use, education, employment, ag and the arts.

* Scary work: The locally produced “The Haunted Wolfe Manor Hotel” will air at 9 p.m. Jan. 31 on KAIL (Channel 7.1).

The one-hour program follows Todd Wolfe, Terry Campbell and Scott Gruenwald as they try to get the resident spirits of the Wolfe Manor Hotel to reveal themselves.
