KEJR-LD now on the air

Other than the virtual channel information, there are a couple more things that need to be adjusted. First off, the native 4:3 programming of MTV Tr3s is being stretched out to 16:9, therefore TV's with converter boxes aren't getting the whole picture. Second, the PSIP time is way behind. These issues are just bugs that need to be ironed out.
Other than that, the signal is surprisingly strong for a low power DTV.

I haven't been having any problems tuning in to KEJR-LD, except for earlier today, where it seemed as if they had a transmitter failure.
On the other hand, K38IZ is always a pain to tune in (or keep a stable picture that doesn't break up), even with a good receiving antenna with line of sight to South Mountain. I hope they do the right thing when they finally shut down analog 53 and buy a decent transmitting antenna for the station. They need it in order to survive against their competition, even if it is too expensive for them.
I have a good signal on KEJR-LD and K38IZ-D but to get a good signal on K38IZ-D i have to have the rabbit ears on my antenna up all the way and sometimes K38IZ-D still breaks up with the rabbit ears up all the way.Eric Stein said:

Actually, they haven't officially signed on yet, i.e., they haven't even applied for their license to cover the construction permit. This stage of operations is called Program Testing, and everything we've been documenting - off and on service, non-compliant identification, signal breakups - is all part of the process.
Also they change there logo in there station ID to say "KEJR-LD 43.1".dhett said:

I had to rescan someone's tuner connected to EyeTV recently (Cooper and Queen Creek or so). They get these:
3-1
5-1, 5-2
8-1, 8-2, 8-3, 8-4 (the last time they scanned PBS World was not on 8-3)
10-1
12-1, 12-2
15-1, 15-2
21-1, 21-2, 21-3, 21-4, 21-5
33-1, 33-2
[no K38IZ]
39-1 (new)
40-1, 43-2 (also new)
45-1, 45-2
51-1, 51-2, 51-3, 51-4
61-1
KAZT-CA doesn't come in, and neither does K38IZ.
Also last night, I watched the "CBS 5 DTV Transition Special" (in reality 75% an NAB production - the third segment came from KPHO). Ah, the NAB.

Your location might just be a tough reception area for the low power DTV's. Most of the LP stations have directional antennas that have their signal concentrated to the north of South Mountain. As for K38IZ-D, they're most likely diplexing their digital signal on their old analog transmitting antenna, which may mess with the propagation of that signal. It's a tough catch, even from five miles away. They're still under the belief that the DTV transition date will be delayed further, therefore the extension filing for their analog signal. And, even if they have to shut down their analog, they may not want to spend the money for the correct antenna tuned to 38 (I'm sure that those ads for blue-chip national companies I've seen lately on the two English-language subchannels are "borrowed," because I don't see a major corporation spending ad money on an LPTV with few or no viewers).

Channel 12 aired the full NAB DTV program Saturday afternoon in a time slot where one of those "foreclosed home auction" infomercials was to air. They must just want the least amount of viewers possible for them. And if the transition does get delayed again (like K38IZ-D is predicting), it would be a moot point for the time being anyway.
I'm located closer to South Mountain than they are: more like Kyrene/Ray or so. I have LOS to South Mtn.
43.2 is off the air now.powergate92 said:
40.2 is now on the air, 40.2 airs Spanish infomercials, the same E/I programs 40.1 airs at the same time as 40.1 and a station ID that says "KBEH-DT 63.2 Los Angeles".
powergate92 said:
Correct. Except for one "local" program, El 6 Para Ti that is either buried on a Saturday afternoon or in the middle of the night, KEJR/KMOH is basically a repackaging of KBEH 63 Oxnard (if they ID as LA before or instead of Oxnard, that's as wrong as KPNX ID'ing as Phoenix/Mesa rather than Mesa/Phoenix, as the COL for KBEH is Oxnard). I haven't checked the schedules lately; KEJR may be a complete simulcast of KBEH, except for the aforementioned "local" public-affairs show that they had hoped would give them must-carry status on Valley cable systems. The FCC denied the must-carry, although I believe the station appears on higher-tiered packages.
KEJR 40.1 is not simulcasting KBEH as 40.1 still shows a local station ID and "PHX 411". But it looks like 40.2 is simulcasting KBEH 63.2. KEJR schedule shows that "El 6 Para Ti" airs Sundays at 5:00 AM.dhett said:
