KMYS TV 35 changing to CW?

[JHBrandt]

Well this is pretty stupid. Because MNTV already has KBVO broadcasting in Llano. Now KCWX, in Fredericksburg, will also have MNTV. So therefore both MNTV stations for both markets will be in the Hill Country. They basically overlap each other. What a pretty dumb move. If this is really the case, KCWX should stop identifying themselves at "KCWX - Fredericksburg, San Antonio, Austin"

Not necessarily. KCWX last week asked the FCC for special authority to go to 45 kW ERP (a 3 dB increase for the geeks out there). If they get that, they should be easier to receive both OTA in SA and Austin and via cable or satellite (which pick up KCWX's signal OTA), and could become the dominant MNTV affiliate in the area. If that happens KBVO would probably drop their MNTV affiliation.

It will be hard to be the dominant MNTV station in Austin without cable carriage. Any word on that?

the fcc should allocate 2 new tv frequencies for austin to replace the ones that choose to go to the san antonio market.( blanco and fredericksburg) and also allocate a new killeen (temple-waco) area tv station.

www.kmys.tv has launched their CW 35 website. Looks much better. Good imaging.

One station...but multiple signals: In the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market, Fox WOLF-TV 38 had two full-power satellites WWLF 58 and WILF 53 to help cover the market...

I believe WWLF is 56, not 58.

Oh, and apologies for mislisting KMYS' last two affiliations on my list. Oops!
