KILM Barstow/Los Angeles

G

KILM Channel 64 Virtual, 44 Physical has Notices for 64-3 thru 64-6 is up for lease. According to Rabbit Ears .info they have full power stations /repeaters in LA as well on Snow Peak covering the Coachella Valley, High Desert (Yucca Valley-29 Palms and part of Riverside County. Could be a lot of potential for someone to get a station going with a large market coverage.
 
That station has been hurting financially ever since that long-term lease of the primary channel to FilmOn went sour.

Only 64.1 has any reach to it due to carriage by DirecTV and DISH Network which bring it into Los Angeles proper ... the subchannels have a very limited possible audience, mainly because the areas you reference have high cable subscriber percentages (can't get the Los Angeles stations without it).
 
More from Wikipedia:

KILM originally began broadcasting in 1987 as KVVT, the only independent commercial television station in the Mojave Desert region to provide local news programs. ...Until 1992, KVVT used to add ABC programming as its affiliate. By that year, KABC-TV Channel 7 has replaced channel 64 as the default ABC affiliate in the High Desert.

FilmOn took over the station's operations under an LMA on September 1, 2012, at which point it became KILM.[3] On November 25, 2013, FilmOn TV was removed and replaced with paid programming. On July 12, 2014, KILM dropped the all 24/7 paid programming lineup & replaced it with Programming from The SonLife Broadcasting Network, a Religious Broadcasting Network that is Owned and operated by Jimmy Swaggart.

64.1 is now showing programming from something called "Punch TV". (Couldn't find too much information on what it is). They dropped the religious SBN.
 
I guess you could say Punch TV is an Indie version of BET, with African-American centered movies, shows, and lots of music videos.
