KASY (this channel operates in ATSC 3.0 on RF 36 but the ATSC 1.0 comes from different stations) all in 16:9
50.1 My Network TV 720p from KWBQ
50.2 ION Mystery 480i from KWBQ
50.3 GET 480i from KRQE
50.4 Court TV 480i from KRQE
50.5 Antenna TV 480i from KOAT

Quite a few duplicates with Cozi TV shown on five channels (3 in HD) and TeleXitos shown 3 times all remapping to channel 2.2 which can be confusing while TBD and Telemundo are shown in three different places. Court TV and QVC appear to have dual affiliations. The main networks that are absent as far as I know are Comet, The Nest, and MeTV Toons.
 
Isn't there also KNMD in ATSC 3.0 simulcasting KNME?
I can't pick up anything in ATSC 3.0 but yes I believe it does that. However NMPBS has apparently wiped out any visible existence of KNMD from the viewing public. It is licensed to broadcast on virtual channel 9 which it did in ATSC 1.0 but it was at low power. Instead the programming is shown at 5.4 rather than 9.1 which I'd think would be necessary to get on any cable or satellite systems. The subchannels at the top-of-the-hour appear to show only the NMPBS logo but no call letters.
 
I found that there is a new signal on channel 34 but there is no video or audio so it did not get added during a rescan. Signal strength was at just above 50%. Apparently this is the digital flash cut for former analog channel K38IM currently owned by something called Edge Spectrum. The permit is to expire on August 1st so time is running out! info: https://fccdata.org/?facid=40743
