Rescanned the digital converter box on my old set and found that KVVV-15 has lit up. Very weak signal at 14% on the box, but finally looks as though the Pappas have moved to digital.

They've been on since Jan. 17, airing Harry Pappas' commencement speech to Cal-Stanislaus, a PSA and a legal ID since then.

Which is the same thing that ran on the old KHMV Channel 28 (now KUGB) when Pappas put it on the market a few years ago. Went on for several weeks during October/November 2009, after the station had been dark for a few years. It was the next-to-the-last analog TV signal to appear on Houston airwaves (the last being a week long analog test from KCVH in February 2010.)
I suspect it is only on so prospective buyers can check the signal and see that the station actually exists, rather than being a vaporcaster.

Hadn't thought about that. But I'm still thinking it will be on a full-power subchannel that can be leveraged for cable/satellite carriage.
Houston may be at a saturation point for Spanish language TV, especially with five of the six full power Spanish language stations being O&O's, and Multimedios on one of the better LPTV signals.
