If you want to try to convince the FCC to give KXVA another channel number. I'm for that. You guys need to be a little less obvious that you work for the other TV stations. Several things in your blog make it obvious. SInce I used to work in TV. I can see it clearly. The public knows nothing about market numbers and that sort of thing. Also, there are not just 4 stations in the Market. I also watch Univision and the CW which are both owned by KTXS. And there is also MNTV. None of them are digital or HD

JoeMama,

Maybe you can help me understand the difference between digital and HD. I would also like to buy an "expensive HDTV" but don't really understand what the salespeople are pushing at me. I've read that the FCC wants all channels to switch to HD broadcast, but there's concern that people with regular tv's would no longer get the signal. I've never been on the cutting edge of technology for this reason, but the way people talk about the difference in the picture, I'm curious. I just don't want to buy something that turns out to be another laser disc player. Any info you can provide that will help me from getting screwed by a salesperson and the stations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your interest in our HD Broadcast status. Your question would best be addressed by our Engineering Department. There seems to be a broad range of questions concerning this topic, so I will encourage the Chief Engineer to respond directly on the blog site. I know the engineering department is unavailable through this week, as they are doing off-site preventative maintenance. Expect a response early next week. I hope this interactive platform can allow you a public forum to express your opinions and concerns. Please have further questions prepared as our Engineers will be able to address all such inquiries at this blog site. I believe this is the best course of action because all discuss will be public, preventing any perception of spin.
