You might want to rescan your TV to get the newest full power TV station KKAB-DT RF ch. 12.

You will get soon to be a new western called WEST and up and running MeTV- TOONS both are in 720p HD with full CC and EPG.

The signal might be very focused to the south from the Sandia Crest antenna farm, KKAB-DT is running at 33 KW ERP.

Based on the coordinates in the Rabbitears listing, the tower is WAY south of downtown, south of Belen even, not on Sandia Crest. I'll do a scan tonight in NW Rio Rancho to see if I can pick it up there (doubtful).

The TV microwave " Handle ID" has posted on my AVS forum thread, saying the KKAB-DT "DTS" it's on the air from Sandia Crest right now while Socorio and T or C's should be on the air tomorrow Friday both on same RF ch. 12 "DTS system".

Two interesting notes-

KKAB must be getting Me TV Toons via IP because the picture is better than the C-band feed. Also they're showing the Eastern/Central feed not the Mountain/Pacific feed. I would think ABQ should be getting the Mountain/Pacific feed

Now that's pretty interesting to see Toons in eastern time mode.

But I bet you it will be temporary once they get set it up correctly.

I noted you are missing one low power station on RMP ch. 45 RF ch. 30 KWPL-LD, a HC2 station, this one carry FUBO sports and the rest of other subchannels are similar to KQDF-LD on RF ch. 25.
