Journalists visit Family Radio HQ (while they can)

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. JT -- |

I'm surprised FR hasn't been able to negotiate something with Kabletown ... er, I mean Comcast. I guess we should check tomorrow to see if the HSN feed on 28.2 has been turned off, as it normally is on Sundays on the station. In any event, KFTL comes in at my house better than KNTV does (both sited at Mt. San Bruno). -- Mark Roberts - E-Mail address is valid but I don't use Google Groups If you quote, please quote only relevant passages and not the whole article. |

In the absence of direction we'll maintain that pattern. No need to go out of our way to offend the powers that remain (if they return). Programming on 28.1 will not include any Harold or his people, mainly due to the fact that *everything* has been about Judgment Day for a couple of years. If you have ever been a fan of the old _This Is The Life_ dramas, we'll be airing a lot of that along with _The Joy of Music_ and Bible reading starting today, as a matter of fact. We may air some of our public domain shows and movies after Sunday, but I don't think anything is set yet. In any event, KFTL comes in at my house better than KNTV does (both sited at Mt. San Bruno). We're on the same tower as KKPX (ch. 65) and the last remaining analog station in SF, MTV Tr3s, ch. 40. KNTV is on the southern-most tower where KCSM's analog used to be. JT -- |

"This Is The Life" is actually very well done. I haven't seen it in years. I remember occasionallly seeing it on various stations back in the day when stations ran pubaffairs and inspirational stuff on Sundays. This must be very hard for you folks to figure out what to do at this juncture. Good luck. |
