Baton Rouge and Louisiana tv question

R

radiotower40

I couldn't figure out the best place for this, so I'm hoping someone here will know.

I travel a lot for work, I haven't been in Louisiana in a few years tho. I found out today that I'll be working in Monroe and BR this spring and summer. I am really looking forward to some good downhome cookin' ;D

The last time I was in BR I remember there being quite a few LP/CA TV stations on the air. Going thru the listings I was surprised to see quite a few analogue stations still being shown.

WBRZ still shows up with a seperate listing for RF 2. Also KZUP CA, WBRL CA, WSTY LP, WBHX CA and K48IT all there.

I have the TV listing app and usually a city I work in may have one TBN or foreign language station show up. I was shocked how many I found in the BL area.

Is this just a mixup on part of the app or are these stations still operating.

I figured many of these stations may be hanging on to the 2015 deadline due to hurricanes. I think states like Louisianna and Florida should be allowed to keep a LP or CA in anologue for emergency weather.

Thanks for any answers, it was very surprising to see so many "old school" station listed in one area.
 
I'd recommend something else in addition to the TV listing app you mentioned. In my opinion this is the definitive source for constantly updated information on TV stations, from frequent RD poster Trip Ericson: www.rabbitears.info/

Click on the "listings" tab, which takes you to Digital TV Market Listings.
Scroll to #71 for Baton Rouge and #135 for Monroe. (You may also want to read this page for an explanation of "READS," the RabbitEars Area Designation System: www.rabbitears.info/faq.php#ranks )
