Christina Wood remembers when she moved to her home just north of Baker City 23 years ago and signed up to receive the seven television stations offered via antenna to subscribers of the Blue Mountain Translator District.

These days the 64-year-old serves on the nonprofit special district’s board of directors, a group of elected officials who volunteer their efforts to ensure dependable television service to customers. The BMTD now offers 26 high-definition stations in Baker County and 34 in Union County, including Spanish language channels. Major broadcast networks, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, and other specialty stations featuring classic television programs, movies and comedy shows, are included.
