In telecommunications, a logical channel number (LCN), also known as virtual channel, is a channel designation which differs from that of the actual channel (or range of frequencies) on which the signal travels. The most common reason for a television station using a virtual channel is to minimize viewer confusion when a digital transmission is airing on a different channel from the one the station used in analog mode. The virtual channel thus enables viewers to tune in the station by choosing the same channel number as they would have previously.

  • In telecommunications, a logical channel number (LCN), also known as virtual channel, is a channel designation which differs from that of the actual channel (or range of frequencies) on which the signal travels. The term is most often applied to , where digital television (DTV) channels are in-band adjacent to analog ones. A station branded as Channel 8, for example, might actually use channel 32 for its ATSC or DVB transmission, but a virtual channel map or virtual channel table (VCT) allows viewers to tune in the station on channel 8 on a digital set. DTV tuners typically scan all channels for this information while they are turned "off", and store it in memory for instant access later on. The most common reason for a television station using a virtual channel is to minimize viewer confusion when a digital transmission is airing on a different channel from the one the station used in analog mode. The virtual channel thus enables viewers to tune in the station by choosing the same channel number as they would have previously.
