Channel 29 in Houston?

J

Here's something interesting, and puzzling too.

Remember the old low-power Channel 5 in Clear Lake? Well, it fell by the wayside but may live again, sort of. Seems that channel 5 was granted to "The Tube" for their digital signal (KPXB-DT), broadcasting from Missouri City. The low-power station, which currently holds the call letters DKJIB-LP (the "D" means deleted) applied for Channel 29, but the application was dismissed back in November 2003; a subsequent engineering amendent was denied in December of last year. And in March of this year, the station filed for renewal of its license.

How can you renew the license of a station which isn't on the air, whose call letters have been deleted and has no active applications to return to the air? By the way, here's the applicant's name and address: FAR EASTERN TELECASTERS
1110 NASA ROAD ONE SUITE 501.

And here's the really interesting part: ROY HENDERSON OWNER
 
That's a good question.

It's interesting how a channel without a license is involved in so many broadcasting activities.

Check out the following link http://www.masmusica.tv/ and go to the list of affiliates you will see that they (MasMusica) anticipated that KJIB-LP Channel 5 and KVDO-LP Channel 69 would be broadcasting their (MasMusica's) programming starting on the first quarter of 2005.

And according to the following press release dated 4/6/2005 at http://sev.prnewswire.com/entertainment/20050407/LAW08106042005-1.html
both KJIB-LP Channel 5 and KVDO-LP Channel 69 participated in broadcasting the Pope's burial.

In case some of you are wondering why I have mentioned Channel 69 it too is owned by FAR EASTERN TELECASTERS and I have not seen any programming on either of their channels. By the way FAR EASTERN TELECASTERS has filed an application to broadcast from Channel 25 instead of Channel 69.
