KCEB 54.1 - Tyler/Longview, Tx Flip

[billowens]

London Broadcasting flipped KCEB from COZI to Jimmy Swaggart's Sonlite Broadcasting. In the last few weeks, they added an additional sub 54.3 which is now COZI's new home. I am a Dish Network sub and already receive Sonlite as part of my package. One has to wonder if COZI is on borrowed time in our market.

 

[Mr Tony]

Nah. The fact they created a third channel for it shows that they are going to keep it.

Stations do that every now and then

 

[billowens]

Guess so. IMO, they should have left COZI on 54.1 seeing how Dish carries that channel and put Sonlite on 54.3. Also 54.3 has no EPG data.

 

[Lurker]

54-3 is not new, it used to be THIS. Now 54-3 is COZI and THIS is gone.

 

[billowens]

You are correct. I think 54.3 went dark though during the sale of KYTX to Gannett.

 

[Mr Tony]

so how is the channel set up??
54-1 SonLife
54-2 ?
54-3 Cozi

 

[billowens]

54.1 Sonlite
54.2 MundoMax
54.3 COZI

 

[Mr Tony]

you're right. Should have left Cozi on the -1

 

[billowens]

Oh well. I'm sure there was something in the agreement with the Swaggart familiy to carry the Sonlite network on the primary channel instead of a sub. ($$$)

subs dont have to be carried on cable & satellite but the primary station (-1) has to
