KSDX Changes

ShopHQ went online only in April 2025, so the channel no longer provides programming for the world of over-the-air broadcasting. Broadcast stations, cable TV, and satellite providers have replaced the space used for ShopHQ with other programming.

KSDX made numerous changes, dropping some networks and adding new networks. I drove over to a hill about two miles away from San Miguel Mountain just east of Chula Vista and south of Spring Valley. As I can't get KSDX from my home except for 9.1 and 9.4 with video, I drove on down and observed that the new lineup looks like.

KSDX-LD Binge (was ShopHQ)
KSDX-LD Bridge Infomercials (was Fun Roads)
KSDX-LD Newsmax (was beIN Spanish (Sports))
KSDX-LD Estrella TV (see it on XHAS-TDT 33.1)
KSDX-LD ACEtv
KSDX-LD OAN Plus: One America News Network (A sister channel of OANN)
KSDX-LD beIN Spanish (Sports) (was AWE Plus: A Wealth of Entertainment (A sister channel of AWE))
KSDX-LD Sales (Infomercials)
KSDX-LD BarkTV (Dedicated to Dogs)?
KSDX-LD RNTV: Right Now TV
KSDX-LD FTF Live (Sports)
KSDX-LD MTRSTR1: Unrivaled Motorsports Entertainment
KSDX-LD AWE Encore (formerly AWE Plus) (was Outdoor America)
KSDX-LD NBT: National Black Television Media
KSDX-LD beIN Sports XTRA
KSDX-LD Z Living (not Outdoor America from other sources)

KSDY Check

While on the hill near San Miguel Mountain, I also checked the lineup for KSDY 50. Canal de La Fe TV on 50.4 was swapped for Visión Latina sometime this year.

KSDY-LD Nuestra Visión
KSDY-LD deactivated
KSDY-LD Retro TV
KSDY-LD Visión Latina (was Canal de La Fe TV)
KSDY-LD Heartland: The Heart of Country
KSDY-LD Síntesis TV
KSDY-LD Informercials?

KZTC-LD Selling. FCC Grants Move to 25. sbe36.org reports that the purchaser of KZTC-LD channel 7 has won a grant by the FCC to move its new purchased station to UHF channel 25 on May 20, 2025. There is a low power station near Vista, KHAX-LD, that has been broadcasting on channel 25 there, and there is a possiblilty that KZTC-LD's signal might interfere with reception of KHAX-LD in some places in North County unless KZTC-LD moves its transmitter to another location where its signal would minimally interfere with KHAX-LD, both sharing channel 25 in San Diego county.

KHAX-LD (17)
KZTC-LD (7) (new location TBA)

Also, on KFMB-DT's sub channels, LAFF TV has left its lineup. Quest takes over the KFMB-DT3 slot while NOSEY takes over the KFMB-DT5 slot. LAFF TV has moved to KGTV-DT5.

KGTV made some changes too, replacing Scripps News with LAFF TV on KGTV-DT5. Busted replaces Jewelry TV on KGTV-DT6.

Titan TV is listing Charge! on KBNT-DT3, Comet on KBNT-DT4, and Roar on KBNT-DT6, but rabbit ears San Diego doesn't list them on their page. I have checked KBNT and there are only two multicast channels on it. KBNT dropped those three channels last year or the year before. Roar is the new name for the TBD channel.

KRPE-NX analog 6 and virtual 23.1 lists Jewlery TV on Titan TV, but Independent on rabbit ears San Diego. I don't have a NextGen TV to check for sure.
