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.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.”
—New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
