Rebroadcast of local Spanish stations over LPTV

[MikeShannon914]

Channel 29 is now using some of its subchannels (29.10, 29.11, etc) to rebroadcast KZZA, KBOC, etc. Not that I care, anyway, but this may be a Liberman thing? I'll leave that to someone else to figure out.

For what it's worth they're not doing this in Houston yet.

Channel 29 is not an LPTV station, it's full power from Cedar Hill.

It looks like KMPX is trying to pull a Digital Cable/Satellite initiative, offering music on TV. Won't be surprised if other stations pull the same thing.

Maybe back up audio for STL?

It's not a bad idea especially if their radio signal is a challenged one for parts of the market. Here is another thing to consider: Not many people have table radios at home anymore or systems but DO have TVs that are already set up, many of them with real sound sytems. I see it as a smart move...

This is why Latin media in DFW will win the war. They are the mobile mammals running between the legs of the doomed dinosaurs.

The "Mexican way" as a culture is to get something done, even if it's unconventional. In some cases, this creates a few issues. When it comes to media, it creates opportunity. They aren't afraid to jump out of the routine and try a different way to be heard.

Not finding these radio rebroadcasts lately. Since digital signals are either all there or completely gone, can anyone confirm if they are still doing this? I had a 4 bay UHF attic mounted antenna in White Settlement aimed generally East.
