** OKLAHOMA. Mild tropo enhancement around central OK at 0355 UT May
24 leads to BAD signals on `open` RF channels: 14, 20, 21, 22, 31 --
and decoding:
RF 34, as 33-1 PSIP ID only HRTLND ! No call letters. Also:
33-2, RTV
33-4, Action
33-5, Family
33-6, Revival
Heartland logo is a red heart with outline of a cowboy hat inside it.
Where could that be? Usually with a little tropo I get Tulsa on RF34,
KMYT-TV.
Not very DX, but it`s low power, never before seen from OKC, about 75
km away, KWRW-LD. This is confusing since OKC already has full-power
KOCB on RF33, virtual 34. Found this recent press about it:

``Oklahoma City is Getting a New Free Over The Air TV Station - By
Luke Bouma on April 27, 2023 in All News
Today Digital Networks, LLC announced that it is launching KWRW-LD
channel 33 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Now locals will be able to
watch The Heartland Network, Retro TV, The Family Channel, Rev’n, and
The Action Channel.
“Our goal was to always have an owned and operated station not just in
Tulsa, but Oklahoma City as well,” says Joel Wertman, President of
Digital Networks, LLC and parent company Get After It Media. “We have
no doubt our viewership in Oklahoma City will be strong, as we know
viewers will love our variety of networks and programming.”
Chief Engineer of Digital Networks, LLC Tim Hurley adds, “It’s
exciting to see all of the planning come to fruition, as well as to
know there is a lot more on the horizon this year for launches.”
Here is a quick breakdown of each channel:
The Heartland Network presents the broadest variety of true country
music and lifestyle entertainment. From classic country out of the
vaults of Music Row to the up-and-coming artists of today, The
Heartland Network truly is The Heart of Country®. Programming includes
Music City Tonight, CountryLine TV, Bluegrass Ridge, Country Fix,
classic movies, and original program The Unseen World. The network
also carries special event coverage through in-house produced series
More Than the Music and Heartland Backstage.
Retro TV is the first and one of the longest-running digital broadcast
networks in the country, highlighting classic series and movies from
way back when. Programming includes shows such as Doctor Who, Naked
City, The Saint, Danger Man, One Step Beyond, and The Ray Bradbury
Theater, as well as 1980’s pop culture hits 21 Jump Street, starring
Johnny Depp and the critically acclaimed crime drama Wiseguy with Ken
Wahl and Jonathan Banks. The network’s original program Dracula’s Kung
Fu Theatre is a favorite among viewers, with two seasons now under the
show’s belt. Retro TV is also the exclusive home to the iconic and
groundbreaking daytime soap opera The Doctors which originally ran on
NBC from 1963 – 1982.
Rev’n is a car and motor enthusiast’s dream, with shows designed
around all things that rev. Whether you have a passion for cars,
trucks, boats, airplanes, or motorcycles, viewers will find the speed
they need in series like My Classic Car, Sam’s Garage, The Curator’s
Vault, Motorhead Garage, Legendary Motorcar, and Flying Through Time,
this network keeps the motor running.
The Action Channel is for daredevils and adventure seekers alike with
extreme racing on Boundless, to strength you can’t even fathom on
Strongman Champions League, head-to-head battles on OVW Wrestling,
wild and heart-pounding situations on Operation Repo, the ever-popular
EFC Premium Fights, and more.
The Family Channel provides programming for everyone in the family.
Viewers can relax and meal plan with cooking shows like Positively
Paula with Paula Deen and Bama-Q or pick out their next family
vacation destination with travel shows like Chasing Down Madison Brown
and Road Trip Masters. Get DIY-friendly tips from Ready, Set,
Renovate, or settle down as a family for educational programming like
Underwater Safari and Pet Friends, and more! ``

Not to be confused with heartlandtv.com -- a different thing with only
two stations in St Joseph MO and Utica NY? HQ in Georgia per a map.
