Fill In Transmitters

[TRG]

Of course, if/when KENW does allow us to stream, it'll piss off KNME, but the law is the law... if they're both in the same DMA we have to receive equal access..

Is the programming really that much different between the two?

Sometimes, yes. KENW does some really good documentaries that KNME doesn't air

I hope they will fix the streaming issue. BTW, KENW and KUPT on Sandia Crest are both on R.F. 32.

I used to live in the Jemez Mtns. at 8500 ft, (southwest of Los Alamos). I had a very large VHF TV & FM antenna. I regularly received KENW-FM, 100 kW on 89.5. at a distance of 220 miles. It would go thru slow deep fades, but was usually receivable noise free for parts of the day. KENW-TV was then analog on R.F. 3. I never could receive them.

When I pull up RF 32, I don't see KENW in the mux..

KUPT yes, but not KENW.

I'm going by the FCC TV Query which says KENW TV Portales is on R.F. 32. Did I miss something?

Did I miss something?

Their transmitter is near Clovis, not on Sandia Crest

 

[comfortably_numb]

Well, I guess the squeaky wheel got the grease... but why only for my zip code? They need to open it up for the whole DMA... TRG and lost_mesa and N5XZS should all be able to access from their zip codes also!

Not sure these engineers understand how this works

 

[lost_mesa]

Yes, KENW is between Clovis and Portales.

KUPT-LP is on Sandia Crest.

Sometimes, yes. KENW does some really good documentaries that KNME doesn't air

 

[N5XZS]

From what I remembered they do sometimes runs a student training for local news on KENW-TV in Portales, when I was at ENMU back in 1989.

Not sure they continue to this day depending on their budget.

Received a response from KENW. Not sure this information is accurate. They can provide the feed to ABQ if I have satellite, but not if I'm not within transmitter range? A DMA is a DMA, right? Can PBS choose to not provide a livestream if someone is "outside transmitter range" but within the DMA?

Trip any guidance?

The FCC doesn't regulate streaming, so far as I know. So I am assuming this is all done through agreements.
