KXAM to KBVO Call Letter Change (Llano/Austin)

[compubit]

Here's a PSIP-related question... I think that this is possible, but am not sure...

Can KXAN (Digital 21) setup its PSIP as follows:
36.1 KXAN (NBC) - HD
14.2 KBVO (MyTV) - SD (or possibly very compressed HD)

and
KBVO (Digital 27)
14.1 KBVO (MyTV) - either HD or SD
36.2 KXAN (NBC) - either HD or SD

With a setup like this, folks know 14 is MyTV and 36 is NBC...

WCIU in Chicago does something similar to this with their CA stations (23 & 48 which haven't gone digital yet) - and I thought WCIA/WCFN were doing something similar 3.1/49.2 on one signal and 49.1/3.2 on the other, but this appears not to be the case currently.

Thanks!

Yes, it can be done.

LIN just rolled out MyTV on a digital subchannel on its Providence Fox station. MyTV used to run on a delay after Fox programming. Article in Broadcasting & Cable says they may do something similar in other markets, singling out Austin. So ... all the speculation here may be right on target.

I saw that article this morning as well. It does seem to foreshadow some changes with Austin's MyNet affiliation.
