affiliation with KUVN-DT (channel 23). On June 28, 2021, Court TV was removed from KPXD-DT2, and replaced with Bounce TV, sharing the affiliation with KUVN-DT. On that same day, QVC and HSN were removed from KPXD-DT5 and KPXD-DT6 respectively, and began showing previews of Scripps-owned Reality TV networks Defy TV and TrueReal respectively. Both networks launched on July 1, 2021. On October 1, 2021, Newsy was added to channel KPXD-DT7. Newscasts In September 2001, as part of the JSA with that station, KPXD began airing tape delayed rebroadcasts of NBC station KXAS-TV's 6:00 and 10:00 p.m. newscasts each Monday through Friday evening at 6:30 and 10:30 p.m. (the latter beginning shortly before that program's live broadcast ended on KXAS). The news rebroadcasts ended in 2003, two years before most of the network's other news share agreements with Pax TV stations were terminated upon the network's rebranding as i: Independent Television, as a result of the network's financial troubles. Technical information Subchannels The station's digital signal is multiplexed: Analog-to-digital conversion KPXD-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 68, on June 12, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 42, using PSIP to display KPXD-TV's virtual channel as 68 on digital television receivers, which was among the high band UHF channels (52-69) that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition.
