KBPX-LP Shutoff

K

KTN Corp

I was checking on the stations still broadcasting in analog yesterday on my Sony Watchman and noticed that KUVM is the only one left on the air (KPRC-TV doesn't count since it's just a nightlight station). I think KBPX shutoff on Monday because of the strong Missouri City digital signal of KPXB. Anyone know when did KBPX finally shut down?

Anyone care to speculate how much longer KUVM will stay on the air in analog? (BTW just a week-and-a-half more before KPRC shuts down the analog with the NAB loop for good!!!)
 
KBPX was still on in analog at a check this past weekend, but is now gone.

They do have a construction permit to cut to digital on 33...anyone seeing this? They also have an application to move the digital signal to 46.

The current facility for KUVM is of fairly recent vintage, so you would think it is digital-capable. I seem to recall that the (currently dark) transmitter for KCVH/30 was digital-ready.

Forgot to mention I checked on that station on Sunday and it was still broadcasting--so between Sunday afternoon and Tuesday morning it stopped broadcasting. I thought it would've stayed on for at least 3 months due to the lack of competition.
