We're among the pissed off. How long does it take for Comcast to pump a decent signal through the system?
I just noticed that KCSM is no longer on our cable system. Upon investigation, I discovered
the TV station has been sold to Santa Rosa public broadcaster KRCB. The new call letters
will be KPJK, honoring the station's founder, Professor John Kramer. The article referenced
below says that KCSM dropped PBS in 2009, which I find confusing, as I have been checking
their schedule somewhat regularly for PBS music programs like Austin City Limits, Infinity Hall
Live, and The Artist's Den. The new station couldn't get PBS membership because PBS doesn't
want more duplicate stations in the same market.

It's a weird lineup of foreign (but subtitled) dramatic series and other oddities. It's also caused problems for folks who listen to KCSM-FM via cable because their cable channel (which was 199 on Comcast SF) is now also featuring KPJK, which means the new TV station has 2 channel positions, 199 and 17. Meanwhile the KCSM-FM channel in the radio station section, 962, is having audio problems so some folks are pissed.
KCSM is already running promos for their Autumn Pledge Drive -- which is 3 weeks away (begins Labor Day wknd). Guess they were spooked by the shortfalls they had during the last 2 drives.Isn't there a change in ownership/license?
