Anyone know what FOX will program on channel 20 after The CW launches on KHWB 39?

This would be a great question for the Texas television board, which is where this thread belongs! However, since you aksed, perhaps they could simulcast the FOX News Channel, until there figure out what they want to do with it. Or, build it into a worthy independant, utilizing FOX news at 6PM with Shepard Smith.

Very good thought, they were a indy for years before they went UPN. They went on the air around '84 broadcasting Astros games right off the bat with numerous transmitter problems early on. Successful station and I hope it continues.
Sidenote: I wish the local UPN and Fox stations would have more of a local brand website than a redirect link to the UPN/ FOX sites. geez.

It could go slightly nostalgia, resurrecting it's 1st moniker:
"20-Vision."
"20-Vision."

Seems to me that 20 has an ample amount of programming during the day, and really would only have to reprogram the evenings when the UPN shows run. I mean, how hard could it be to replace "everyone hates Chris" and "Smackdown"? Heck, a couple of old re-runs of "Sanford and Son" and "Good Times" inserted into those slots, and KTXH wouldn't miss a beat.

Strictly speaking ...Re: TV Question: KTXH 20
Channel 20 was definitely on the air by the summer of 1983. (Not to date myself, but I remember.)
Actually, according to Wikipedia, KTXH-TV first went on the air on Nov. 7, 1982. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KTXH-TV.

Don't expect anything dramatic with KTXH. The GM will do the least costly thing. All the Fox O&O's with duopoly UPN's like KRIV/KTXH in Houston have been commissioned to look at all scenarios with their UPN affiliates. In Houston, Fox will look at just adding movies and some sydicated fare all the way to moving Astros and Rockets games to broadcast from cable. Knowing the GM as I do, he will absolutely do the least entrepeneural thing that will not raise any eyebrows at Fox Corporate. That's why you'll probably see a few more movies and MASH reruns from 7-9P. Any GM with a little local spirit would consider showcasing local news on KTXH and trying to work in local sports teams. Don't be surprised if the best way to raise cash is to go as far as to sell KTXH for several hundred million dollars. This GM is so prone to avoid spending that he may have the only major station in a major market without a website. He has avoided adding a website just because it adds expense and an additional employee or two to KRIV's bottom line. He can't see the millions that KHOU, KTRK and KPRC are taking in on website driven revenues. He is a buffoon when it comes to running a television station in a major market. So, in summary, don't expect much of anything.
