KFLA 8 Now Simulcasting on KILM 64 Full Time

C

CaliRadioFan

They had been programming Retro TV a few hours in the afternoon after the whole "FilmOn/Battlecam" went bust and Multicultural took TV 64 back to 24/7 infomercials. Now it looks as if KILM has once more been leased out full time. And "RetroTV" is on SoCal Cable and Sat outlets alongside "MeTV". The full schedule should be on the EPG's soon :)
 
I think it went religious 24/7. Wonder if it got new owners?
I liked it has Retro TV for a few hours every day but now it's gone
 
I know Roy Mayhugh, the owner of KFLA, very well (I bought KFLA's EAS system for my own station). Will have to inform him that someone cared enough to start a thread about his station.
 
Actually, for some time now the FilmOn programming that was on KILM has been running on KFLA/8.1, and Retro is now on the 8.3 subchannel. I'm sure it's all interrelated somehow; perhaps Carmine can find out from Roy what the backstory is.

Well, so far, Roy hasn't been returning my emails. I'll have to call him.
 
Apparently Roy Mayhugh is just shaking things up with FilmOn and seeing how KFLA viewers respond to it. In talking to him it doesn't sound as if he's married to the channel. He may keep FilmOn, ditch it or put it on another sub-channel and switch back to RTV on the main channel. He doesn't know yet.

BTW, Roy is the certifying engineer for the LDTV side of the Indian Wells Valley TV Booster, Inc. They own a bunch of TV and FM translators serving the high desert. Arthur Liu who owns KILM is leasing one of the Ridgecrest translators (K20LH-D) from Indian Wells Valley which Roy maintains.
