I get it. I watch barely any actual broadcast TV (more into movies, internet etc). But I have seen that station two or three times in the last couple of months.  If they can add more digital channels I see some possibilities for public access, or local content on one of their signals.  I know that the local churches would eat that up ... and I'd love to see local long form arts programs, such as performance reviews, etc. But ... No one asked me fro programming help.  And the likely never will.    

I am ambivalent about Christian Broadcasters, sometimes the messages are really helpful for people who are genuinely seeking answers to life's persistent questions. In my opinion, as a minor student of the bible, the answers themselves are often theologically and spiritually sound, but that is certainly not ALWAYS the case. Some of the stuff is just plain wrong, in fact, and counter productive in my opinion. Further, the cost of producing the programs and the potential conflict of interest regarding solicitation of funds continually grates on me from an ethical stand point. However, for religious programs to come from a for-profit station like KCWV is actually LESS of a conflict for me than a "not-for-profit" religious broadcaster such as TBN which operated a low power station in this area for 20 years or more, and it's still there, I guess, despite the DTV switch. I like how they are open about the fact that there is an income motive along with the "edify" goal, it's more transparent. 

At night I once caught a really bad Christian movie from the 1980s.  Most of those films from that era (even if they are well intentioned) rise to the level of MST3K badness and that is always fun in its way.  

Related: I like old time TV. Not for the shows themselves necessarily as much as for the clues to pop culture, fashion, cars, habits, and even the actors you can see in their much younger days. The old episodes of shows that are just preposterous to me now, but that i lived as a kid, such as Knight Rider and the A-Team are good examples of that, as is Marcus Welby, Emergency and other shows that I barely remember from the 70s. Besides PBS, the Retro TV station is definitely my favorite of the over the air signals in this town*  

*Now that Vikings season is over, football is over for me til September.

KCWV TV must be a tax write off for someone. It must be automated and run off the dish somewhere up at the antenna farm. Dunno what their future is as their is no local ads or content whatsoever. Even their top of the hour Id's are poorly done. As far as TBN goes in channel 58. They are having technical issues with Digital and they may go off the air soon permanently.

Where's Clyde!!!

Local content definitely would be nice here. Paul, you should have a late night show. Tangier 57 can be your house band!

I just watched a half hour diatribe on KCWV at 5:30 am. I believe the name of the program was Greater than Gold. The program preached that evolution teaching was state sponsored indoctrination and part of a communist plot trying to overthrow the government. The program was an intense, vitriolic indictment of science as a secular human attempt to poison the minds of the young. This is hardly responsible programming! This type of programming gives broadcasting, religion and free speech all a bad name. Hardly Family TV! Mr. Flinn seems to think that his money gives him the right spread any lies he wishes. This station is an attempt to promote a political, keep them ignorant with radical religion, agenda. This is a common thread with politicos of this ilk, accuse the other side of the very thing your side is up to. In this case indoctrination and theocratic overthrow of the government.

@ Brad: not. a. chance.

I have noticed a gaping hole in the tuner "dial" left by TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network)...oh how I miss me some Pink Haired Lady and Plastic Preacher begging for my hard earned dollars while wearing clothing that cost more than my month's take home pay commingled with rebroadcasts of the "Left Behind" series.

I get the channel on Dish Network and it comes in just fine.  Some of the movies and old programs I believe are blurry cuz they are maybe old vcr tapes or old 8mm or 16 mm reels.
