Venture Technologies, operating KRPE-LP channel 6 on Palomar Mountain, filed with the FCC in late September to install a translator on Mt. San Miguel with 3 kW ERP non-directional. Venture operates several channel 6 transmitters as FM audio stations with analog aural carriers on 87.75 MHz, capable of locking in on a car radio. XETV had occupied channel 6, but the FCC no longer lists a transmitter in Tijuana, perhaps meaning Mexico has relinquished the channel reservation.
Venture has also been granted a construction permit for channel 17 UHF on Mt. Woodson. The city of license is listed as South Park, CA. Channel 17 in this area will be relinquished to KNSD-TV when they switch from Channel 40 in phase two of the current UHF channel repacking.
