Mélange

Since the conditions of the Digital TV switchover are such that there must be one analog signal left to serve a market (ours is the Los Angeles, CA market) until June, I figured that I would flick on the ever so seldom used TV (we might as well not even have one) and tally the 2 or 3 stations still serving the LA area.

Well, there were a few more stations still transmitting analog than I expected.

Here's the list for today:

Channel             Callsign

   2                  KCBS

   4                  KNBC

   5                  KTLA

   7                  KABC

   9                  KCAL

  11                  KTTV

  13                  KCOP

  18                  KSCI

  22                  KWHY

  24                  KVCR

  25                  KNET

  27                  KZSW

  28                  KCET

  30                  KPXN

  33                  (KDFX-or-KDJT-or-XHAS)

  34                  KMEX

  40                  KTBN

  44                  KXLA

  45                  (KDPX-or-KUVI-or-XHBJ)

  46                  KFTR

  50                  KOCE

  52                  KVEA

  54                  KAZA

  56                  KDOC

  58                  KLCS

  62                  KRCA

  63                  KBEH

  67                  KHTV

  68                    ?

  69                    ?

For 68 and 69, I can find no FCC channel or callsign allocation for these channels; however, there is a receivable signal on those two tuner selections, as of this morning. Go figure.

Just a note: We don't use cable, satellite, or any other paid television programming subscription service--they are unnecessary to us, and are not an option--so, it's "rabbit ears" and coat hangers in this household.
