mrtejano Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Is back, 56-1 is back on air. It's currently airing paid advertising of wen shampoo.Sorry for the double topic I posted out on the wrong page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpledevil Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 That's very interesting. KQHO, I suspect, will have its license surrendered in the reverse auction. Must be an effort to keep the license active until NY Spectrum can get paid to turn it in.KTBU-DT 55 will succumb to the same fate by the end of the year.

mrtejano Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Well it has gone black since I posted. Don't know what's going on. So KTBU-DT is really going to be shut down? So no more MEGA TV in Houston? Crazy but would SBS be a good candidate to purchase channel 39? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpledevil Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Yep, no más Mega TV. KTBU-DT will shut off the transmitter, Spanish Broadcasting System will return the license, and Conroe will lose one of its two licensed digital TV signals. The same thing will happen to the other Mega TV outlet in Miami, and that being the case, SBS won't be a potential suitor for KIAH.As crazy as this might sound, I've been wondering if CBS might be a player in the bidding for a suddenly available KIAH. With a Fox O&O, NBC O&O, and an ABC O&O station already in the market, why wouldn't CBS make a play for CW39? Tegna would find itself with a suddenly independent KHOU 11 on its hands, CBS affiliation then moves to 39.1, CW drops to 39.2, and 39.3 is reestablished with Antenna TV. It is a plausible scenario, but the first domino has to fall, and that is Tribune putting the stations up for sale. Currently, they're only exploring the options available to them.
