Fact or Fiction: Lake Charles, Louisiana new CBS/ABC station KRDF

[localclassictvfan]

Call me crazy but I went on KPLC wiki page and then scrolled to the bottom and when I opened the "Television stations in Southewest Louisiana including lake charles", It showed the kplc, kvhp, the 19, 43, 45 and all that and I noticed one that had KRDF (22.1 CBS, 22.2 ABC). There is no page for it but someone must have inside information to put that down. Apparently none of us knew because it would have been posted before tvnewscheck got a hold of it. Interesting fact/fiction here...

 

[Mr Tony]

no KRDF in the FCC files

There is a translator station K22GT in Lake Charles. Analog. Licensed to some company named Foster Charitable Foundation.

Thats all I see

You do know anybody can post whatever they want on wiki...whether fact or fishtale

Can't you notify Wikipedia of the false posting? Also, is Lake Charles able to support local affiliates of all Big 4 networks? And do CBS and ABC have any plans to expand into Lake Charles?

There is no article of said station....its just in the footnotes of "stations in the area"....and frankly I dont care enough to "report it". I got better things to do

Jonesboro does....and they are smaller
NorthPlatte does...and they are smaller yet

And do CBS and ABC have any plans to expand into Lake Charles?

well obviously someone thinks they do....as they put it on wiki

Just looking at a basic tvfool (center of town 20 feet up) both ABC & CBS from Beaumont, TX & Lafayette, LA say its possible with a attic mount antenna. the ABC from Beaumont and the CBS from Lafayette are on VHF so that hinders indoor antenna reception

As the case in smaller markets (short markets) they do want all 4 nets if possible in the market. And CBS & ABC would probably be the best to program when it comes to carrying it from the get-go as they have the most "national programming" of the 4 nets.
CBS has from (central time) 7-9, 10-noon, 12:30-3 along with 5:30 news, and primetime
ABC has 7-9, 10-11, noon-2 along with 5:30 news and primetime

The question would be would you get the eyeballs? There are people who probably have watched CBS & ABC from Lafayette for 40 years as they have been the defacto affiliates for that area and probably wouldnt change unless cable pulls them and puts in the "new" affiliates (which probably would piss off people).

You'd gain the folks who can't get ABC & CBS reliably right now.
Whats the worst case? Raycom buys the LP station, throws ABC & CBS on there and now you have a Lima, OH situation with one owner having all 4 nets?

I believe it's a reference to the show Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction hosted by James Brolin and Jonathan Frakes - this thread title being Fact or Fiction: Lake Charles, Louisiana new CBS/ABC station KRDF.

 

[Mr Tony]

The page for KRDF does not exist. If you go to Wikipedia and type KPLC and scroll down to where it says tv stations in the area and open it up the call letters are in red. Thats all nothing really false to report there..

I was trying to make a bad joke ice I seen the title to thread I had to say it.

 

[Mr Tony]

Well it must have been fiction as I see its no longer listed in the "Television stations in Southewest Louisiana including lake charles" at the bottom of a Lake Charles TV station wiki page

 

[localclassictvfan]

Yeah i seen it too...

 

[localclassictvfan]

I sure wasted a thread on this

 

[Mr Tony]

no worries.
You thought maybe a new station was going to cone to fruition....only to find out it was some rotten fruit
