for TBN to execute because it owned the then-maximum of 12 commercial TV stations, a limit that could only be surpassed by minority-controlled firms. However, before the commission could act, NMTV withdrew its bid because the delays had made it impossible to meet deadlines imposed by the bankruptcy court. The passage of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 put must-carry rules back into place, with important impacts on WTGI. In late 1992, of the 1.8 million cable homes in the Philadelphia market, only 520,000 received the station, and attempts to increase that number were being met by "various degrees of coldness". A year later, the station was promoting its addition to many cable systems as a result of the new law, and it had begun production of a new local program, the health talk show Dr. Castillo y su Salud, to provide health advice to the Hispanic community. Despite increased profitability, Delaware Valley Broadcasters filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection a second time in August 1993, per general manager Dan Slape, "to better meet our future goals and objectives". As a result, the bankruptcy court ordered a sale of the station. Even with a court-ordered sale looming, WTGI initiated production of a new public affairs series, Entérate (Find Out), in July. Pax/Ion ownership In November 1994, Paxson Communications Corporation moved to acquire WTGI-TV for $10.2 million, the station having been in bankruptcy for more than seven years. The sale was immediately recognized as signifying the end for the multicultural programming on channel 61. Paxson announced the launch of Infomall TV in January 1995 as well as a national push to purchase television stations to carry the service. The switch in programming took place at the start of May 1995, leaving Telemundo without a station in the Philadelphia market. The network affiliated with WTVE in Reading, only to be ousted in 2000 and sign its present outlet, Atlantic City's WWSI, in March 2001. On August 31, 1998, the Paxson-owned stations formed the nucleus for the new Pax television network. The station's call sign had been changed that January to WPPX. After changing its name to i: Independent Television in 2005, the network became known as Ion Television in 2007.
