KIDA

KIDA was a television station in Sun Valley, Idaho, broadcasting locally on VHF channel 5 as an independent station. Founded October 25, 2000, the station was owned by Turner Enterprises. The station had a pre-digital transition allotment for digital channel 32, but never utilized it. It carried programming from UPN at its sign-on;[1] however, it had lost the affiliation to KTWT-LP by December 2004.[2] Later, programming consisted primarily of infomercials.[3] Neither Cox Communications in Sun Valley or Cable One in Twin Falls included KIDA in their line-ups.

Demise

Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997, the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station.[4] Instead, on or before June 12, 2009, which was the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KIDA was to have turned off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash cut").

Marcia Turner, doing business as Turner Enterprises, filed for special temporary authority to remain silent on June 18, 2009 citing financial reasons and its inability to construct the digital facilities required by June 12, 2009. However, KIDA did not even apply for a construction permit for such facilities, and as a result the FCC dismissed the STA and revoked its license on October 6, 2009.[5]

gollark: Hold on, that will be patched in v6.12468.
gollark: - All this useless random junk can autoupdate (this is probably a backdoor)!- EZCopy allows you to easily install potatOS on another device, just by sticking it in the disk drive of any potatOS device!- fs.load and fs.dump - probably helpful somehow.- Blocks bad programs (like the "Webicity" browser).- Fully-featured process manager.- Can run in "hidden mode" where it's at least not obvious at a glance that potatOS is installed.- Convenient, simple uninstall with the "uninstall" command.- Turns on any networked potatOS computers!- Edits connected signs to use as ad displays.- A recycle bin.- An exorcise command, which is like delete but better.- Support for a wide variety of Lorem Ipsum.
gollark: Best viewed in Internet Explorer 6.00000000000004 running on a Difference Engine emulated under MacOS 7 on a Pentium 3. Features:- Fortunes/Dwarf Fortress output/Chuck Norris jokes on boot (wait, IS this a feature?)- (other) viruses (how do you get them in the first place? running random files like this?) cannot do anything particularly awful to your computer - uninterceptable (except by crashing the keyboard shortcut daemon, I guess) keyboard shortcuts allow easy wiping of the non-potatOS data so you can get back to whatever nonsense you do fast- Skynet (rednet-ish stuff over websocket to my server) and Lolcrypt (encoding data as lols and punctuation) built in for easy access!- Convenient OS-y APIs - add keyboard shortcuts, spawn background processes & do "multithreading"-ish stuff.- Great features for other idio- OS designers, like passwords and fake loading (est potatOS.stupidity.loading [time], est potatOS.stupidity.password [password]).- Digits of Tau available via a convenient command ("tau")- Potatoplex and Loading built in ("potatoplex"/"loading") (potatoplex has many undocumented options)!- Stack traces (yes, I did steal them from MBS)- Backdoors- er, remote debugging access (it's secured, via ECC signing on disks and websocket-only access requiring a key for the other one)
gollark: <@111608748027445248> ALL OF THEM.
gollark: See, thing is, most foolish people who install it cannot write those ten lines or even just [SEARCH ENGINE AS VERB] it.
