JCB4TV 297 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 1 hour ago, CubsFan79 said: KGBT TV is now a independent station. They were a CBS affiliate for over 60 years. Too bad. After CBS moved to the KVEO spectrum, KGBT took over all of KVEO's former subchannels with 4.1 not active at this time. My prediction is that Sinclair may try to recruit Fox to move to 4.1 as they're currently need two LD sticks on RF20, PSIP 67, to get full market coverage in the RGV.

Entravision is about to put KMBH back into service, which I believe must have been stalled because of tower worker cancellations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully our favorite CEO has a good sense of humor. I like Larry Potash, he's funny but that some good ideas. Mr. Perry Sook is still a disaster there gonna use WGN as their flagship probably unite KTLA and buy back WPIX reform the Original Tribune 3 (As i call it). There already starting a national newscast from WGN took there ND to form it. While upping there Asst. ND to ND and now they're gonna be a puppet for there company Nexstar. But that $60 Million i think some of it will be saved to buy back WPIX In New York. KGBT will be on 23.2 doesn't make sense that they on 4.1 they should still an licensed asset. They should be simulcasting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. I think they waited until that settlement with the FCC before they can proceed with the filing. You see on the paperwork, it had to be certified by a compliance officer.
