Purpledevil Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 KDHU-LD is the call for Houston's very own Channel 7, which filed for its license to cover way back in December 2010.But where is it? There is NO channel 7 in Houston over the air, or digital. Is this a ghost? Has anyone ever witnessed KDHU-LD available for viewing on your set? There is a granted CP on file to increase the power of KDHU-LD to 3kW, but I don't believe that it has ever come to light with its currently licensed 0.3kW. Any OTA confirmation of KDHU-LD 7 would be most appreciated.http://fccdata.org/?facid=167020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeFM Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Purple, this station is actually on the air. Over a year ago I called up the Daystar engineer, who confirmed it was broadcasting at reduced power. He wouldn't say what, but said it was less than the authorized 300 watts. So I drove over to the tower site with my little 7 inch portable TV. A scan found KDHU, but it was still hard to get -- antenna had to be just right or it would pixel out. So it was simply a broadcast to say they were on the air to hold the frequency and license; they weren't attempting to cover anything with it.

Blue Dogs Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Never even heard of this news station!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpledevil Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Never even heard of this news station!!!!It's not a news station. If it's on, as Joe stated, then it's acting as a repeater of KLTJ at miniscule power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtejano Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Purple wasn't it you who also said we were going to get a Channel 4? And it was going to cover North Houston?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpledevil Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 That is correct. Licensed as KAHO-LD Aldine on channel 4. It tested at reduced power from its north side tower briefly, then returned to dark. From Joe's past statements, KAHO will eventually become "Joe FM". Not sure when that will occur.

Purpledevil Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 On Wednesday, March 09, 2016 at 9:33 PM, ArchMemoH said: actually kdhu is on channel 50 Actually, it's not. It may map to 50 virtually, but it operates on RF channel 7. According to FCC files, it left channel 50 in the transition to digital in 2009. I must be corrected on my response to Blue Dogs, though. After more research, KDHU-LD is not a repeater of KLTJ-DT. Instead, it carries the national Daystar feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
