Fox's full lineup will remain on KIDZ until KXVA goes on the air. Bill Carter, general manager of current Fox affiliate KIDZ and the fledging KXVA, said while the stormy weather this past week has brought needed rain to the area, it's complicated construction of a broadcast tower south of Abilene. Until the rain passes, little work can be done on the tower, he said. Except for the broadcast tower, everything else is ready to go, Carter said. By not going on the air until Nov. 15 at the earliest, the stations will have missed half of sweeps month, a period when viewership in all 210 U.S. television markets is measured.
TV stations use the viewership numbers to determine advertising prices.
