Their slide, in big red letters, now shows "FunAsia KZFW LP Channel 6, Cedar Hill, Texas" so they may have flipped the format. Strangely, I get only their video not a whiff of audio.

I just found something on TuneIn for 'KBFW-LP - La Ley 87.7 FM' while scrolling through the Dallas / Fort Worth stations.
http://tunein.com/radio/La-Ley-877-s111505/
The audio for 'KVFW' is actually up, but the audio for KZFW is down.
http://tunein.com/radio/KZFW-LP-877-s111512/
Is the latter still on the air?

In just happened on this station the other day. I thought it odd for a station to be broadcasting on that freq. But, I guess it's legal....
Things may have changed since, but a few years ago I was able to pick up either 87.70 or 87.75 FM in Mesquite and I matched it with some cable channel's TV programming. I'll have to try it again at my current location.

It is...in several markets, there is an analog LPTV on channel 6 that act as radio stations on 87.7.
Probably the most noticed one is WKQX-LP 6 Chicago running an alternative rock format as "Q87.7"...actually gets around 2 share 6+ in the Chicago ratings.
There are about a dozen others including "ESPN Deportes 87.7" KXDP-LP 6 Denver, AAA WLFM-LP 6 Cleveland
The problem is the FCC says analog LPTVs will have to shut off at some point just as the full power analog stations did.

Ordinarily this is a Franken FM but this facility is a bit odd. I checked it out on a spectrum analyzer and all I see is the audio portion. There's no picture signal carrier and no activity at all in the NTSC luminance component. It looks like their running only an FM without the required video. For a long time, KZFW was operating legally on channel 6 with static video content and Hispanic religious programming on the audio side. What's happening now on channel 6 is different.
I tried to pick up 87.7 at my house tonight (between N. Galloway & Belt Line in Mesquite) and got nothing. Kind of interesting considering I was roughly in the same area a few years ago when I was able to get something.
