A few programming changes I noticed you missed.
Programming Changes
  • KFPB-LD 31.x (30) Gila River Indian Co. (Globe LPTV LLC) has replaced rescan slide on 31.5 with The Family Channel. Also, they replaced NV on 31.8 with Telemax.
  • KDVD-LD 50.x (25) Globe (Globe LPTV LLC) has replaced NV on 50.1 with non-stop commercials in English and Spanish. I just saw a commercial for Palm Springs Kia, so I guessing this channel is based out of California. Also, they replaced The Family Channel on 50.3 with rescan slide.
 
They must have just done that, because I scanned the day before I posted. Thanks for the updates!

Just check through all the channels again and it looks like NV is back on 31.8 and 50.1 again. Also NewsMax2 is now on 50.3.

Also I noticed 21.2 now has a graphic saying Merit Street coming soon.
 
Merit Street Media (Dr. Phil's channel) launches on Feb. 26. KPAZ moved Inspire to 21.3 and Smile to 21.4, and dropped Enlace, their Spanish-language network. I also have word from a reliable source that KPNX will have new programming by the end of month, presumably to replace one of the duplicate streams of True Crime Network.

As for Globe LPTV, owners of channels 31 and 50, they change their channel lineups more often than some of y'all change your underwear. I think Newsmax was on channel 31.6 for what? 30 minutes, before it went to a frozen screen, then they took it off there altogether? Now it's on 50.3 - should we start a betting pool for how long it will last before they yank it?
 
And...The Nest has made its debut on KPNX 12.5. It was supposed to launch on KTTU Tucson as well.
