Apparently they have some sort of cable TV operation, according to a
news report I saw last night.


Well, leave it to ABC to get it wrong. They could have bothered asking
any of us who were there during their interview session.

Currently we have four LPTVs (three of which are Class-A) and two
translators in Northern California covering the SF Bay area from San
Bruno Mtn., Chico & Sacramento from the Sutter Buttes, Chico &
environs from Cohassett, Redding & region from South Fork and Red
Bluff, etc. from the Tuscan Buttes. Oh, and our remaining analog
translator covering the valley north of Stockton to Fresno and from
Mt. Bullion.

We also have a full power non-com that serves northern NJ/NYC, and has
cable/satellite carriage in NYC and the region.

Then there are the Boise and Twin Falls LPTVs that may or may not be
on the air ATM. (Winter construction delays, y'know?)

As Mike Ward pointed out, we used to own ch. 64, Stockton, which was
sold to Univision/Telefutura in 2003 at which time we bought ch. 28 in
SF and moved the KFTL callsign. Being a Class-A LPTV doesn't get us
cable/satellite carriage, so only those with antennas can receive us.
