KBZC-LD TV Channels are they gone?

[TwoForFlinching]

This sure isn't consumer driven and if it is must be by idiots. For years we were all very happy watching a 640 X 480 tv picture. Now we have more than twice that resolution, 4K is a gimic to sell TVs that nobody really needs. Did you ever have a problem telling the difference between Matt Dillon and Kitty in the 60's.

lol, no idea who they are. Nobody likes change. At least in Oklahoma, we'll likely be the last to fully comply to the new standards. We were with the forced switch from analog to digital, at least in my rural neck of the woods. Small stations hold out due to the cost. I agree about the resolution difference. I can see a difference in file sizes streaming sometimes, but for the most part, 1080 is clean and clear enough for my eyes. Besides, most of the TV I watch on antenna is SD reruns of 90's shows lol. I flip between Laff, Grit, and Bounce 99.9% of the time.

I watched this 'what is it' video there. Interesting that they'll be able to wake up sleeping mobile devices on the emergency broadcast system.

That is really annoying when they wake you up during a thunderstorm telling you there is lightning in your area.

Maybe try doing a rescan of channels on your tv?

Do they have a website or facebook page you can check?

Our local stations have facebook pages you can view without being logged in. They usually post news items and any technical problems they're having.

I live in Shawnee and have a small indoor antenna. I've never heard of KBZC-LD but I did a rescan out of curiosity.

I didn't pick up any channel 42 signals but I do now have two GRIT TV channels!

The one I've always had is 52.4 and the second one is 62.4 and it has a stronger signal so maybe now I can watch GRIT on rainy days. [emoji16]

Me too. It was a shopper channel for years.

Wait a minute, are y'all saying there is something on that channel 62 besides shopping?
I blocked those 62 channels, every last one of them, because my TV kept rescanning itself and adding the shopping channel.
Now it's GRIT TV ?
