In September 2005, the station launched its digital signal on UHF channel 21. Because KPXJ never received a companion digital channel, it had to turn off its analog signal (a move called a "flash-cut"). This move caused an uproar with viewers of the station who did not have the equipment to receive over-the-air digital broadcasts or cable television. Three months later in December 2005, DirecTV added KPXJ to the list of local stations it made available to the satellite provider's subscribers in the Shreveport-Texarkana market, followed by Dish Network in April 2007.
