For some reason, I recalled an ABC television station was available in the Mojave Desert from Barstow or Victorville beamed across the Mojave Desert from 1965 to 1992(?), on three different UHF channels: 27 (there is a K27DS a transmit of KESQ-TV channel 3 from Palm Springs, 38 (FCC records found K38HD from Lancaster) and 64 (the current analogue channel of KHIZ). Los Angeles TV is available over the air and on cable for Antelope Valley and Victor Valley residents, although KABC 7 hasn't penetrated this side of the San Gabriel/San Bernardino mountains for its first years (1950s or 60s). The origin of KHIZ or "High-Z" as in "KiloHertZ" was from a country/western radio station licensed in Barstow, but has changed call signs a few times in its' 65-year history and represented Victorville, Palmdale and Ridgecrest. I would want more evidence, research and historic records on the former ABC TV affiliate for the Mojave Desert in the 1970's, the heyday of ABC networks being the highest rated out of the "big 3", with the most affiliates at the time to cover areas not served by other ABC affiliates or as secondary, such as KNTV in San Jose in the San Francisco Bay Area (originally under KCBS-AM radio, now KNTV is the sole NBC-TV affiliate) where KGO-TV is the major ABC station. + 71.102.32.144 (talk) 15:42, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
