If KHFD moves to RF 39, what would happen to the 54:XX from KAZD, even tough if KAZD tries to drop down it's digital to around 29 to 30, what will happen to it's original PISP.

I am greatly concerned about my reception of KLEE from Houston years after it signed off. And, to this very day, their PISP data still is wrong and interferes with KLIF-TV on channel 29:XX. It is disrupting my viewing of programs from both the DuMont and NTA networks. And I have frequent trouble receiving Galveston's KGUL caused by KLEE. I think a stern letter to Hoover's FRC is in order.

You're funny.
Dallasites from India have a couple of new options for OTA TV as of today. KLEG has replaced the audio+slide for HumDesi Radio on 44.3 with a full-fledged TV network, Diya TV. SAB TV is still on but has moved from 44.2 to 44.4 to make room for a new Indian network identifying itself as Swagat. Both new networks were airing music videos when I discovered them earlier this evening.

We'll have to watch for those and similar services to launch in Houston, which has a large South Asian population. We already have several radio stations targeting that market.
The alternate programming on 31.4, mostly Ozzie and Harriett every time I check it, has been running most if not all weekend. Usually "Retro TV".
That would be "HOT" on 31.3. "Retro TV" is back on 31.4 as I type. Seems to vary with the weather.dhett said:
Not so much LPTV as it is "subchannel" but I heard it through the grapevine that Fox's new Movies! channel may debut May 27th.
Not sure if it will be on 4.2 or 27.3. (My bet is 27.3)

Indeed, 27.2 has a graphic up for Movies! debut Monday saying Bounce is on 27.3 now.
27.2 now has a promo of the channel running in a loop.
Got to thinking about all the subchannels we get and how many of them I actually watch. I came up with this little bit of info:
Number of subchannels I get: 89 (88 digital plus the one analog LPTV station running HOT-TV programming)
watch regularly: 7 (KDFW, KXAS, WFAA, KTVT, KDAF, KTXD, MeTV)
once in a while: 10 (Cozi, AccuWeather, KERA, PBS World, KTXA, HOT-TV, KDFI, Bounce, Antenna, KPXD)
rare: 4 (Retro TV, This TV, Biz-TV, Ion Life)
never: 68
That means I find about 25% of the subchannels available useful to me.
That might change a bit with Movies! coming online and Univision's "Get-TV" later this year.
Just curious what the viewing habits of others are around here.
