Re: The Drought Continues

I not sure is that call letter change is true since PCMP (AKA Press Communications owner of Jersey Shore radio stations such as Thunder 106.3/5) changed the other stations call letters from KJWY to KJWP before the move. I was thinking a new call sign would be done the same way a be something like KVNJ.

Also see this Wikipedia page: »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVNV (which according to that, it's supposed to change its callsign to "WVNV-TV")

Well, there is already a (low-power translator) station with the callsign "KVNJ" located in Fargo, ND according to a query of the FCC's database: »transition.fcc.gov/fcc-b ··· all=KVNJ

Nothing was found searching for "WVNV" however.

doesn't matter if you have two stations with the same call sign you just can't have two full power, low power, class A stations sharing the same call signs. Here KUVN-DT and KUVN-CD share the same call signs all though one is a semi satellite of the other station to fill in for a part of the metroplex here in the DFW area.

"-DT" means it is a full-power station. "-CD" means it is a digital Class A station (low power). Class A means it follows some extra FCC rules and has more 'priority' than a standard low-power (-LP) station (if I remember all of this correctly.)

Here's the latest from my newest bill - beginning to wonder if we'll ever see HD channel adds. Ironically they're even taking AWAY channels...LOL.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Effective April 1, 2014, the following channels will no longer be available: Canal 52 MX ch 602, CBTV Michoacan ch 606, HTV Musica ch 639 and LaFamilia Cosmovision ch 598.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Effective March 6, 2014, WWSI-Exitos will be added to channels 241/556.

Isn't it so 'exciting' that, once Comcast takes over the Time-Warner Cable communities, Comcast will be in about one-third cable subscribers' homes?!

I am confident (ha!) that many of these "added" channels will be plopped in cleverly so as to maximize the cost to subscribers, such as having Military History sandwiched in with sports channels. Want Military History? Have to purchase a sports package. :-(
