Thanks for the heads up!

The FCC database has had KKTV on channel 49 for a long time now, but in reality they were still using their channel 10 transmitter up until recently. The FCC data showed channel 49 as active even though the transmitter was not actually on the air yet.

We had to fix our database so that KKTV would show up as channel 10 in the "current" data, and as channel 49 in the "pending" data. We were originally told (this goes back almost a year now) that the switch to channel 49 would occur near the end of summer, 2010.

According to the Wikipedia article, they switched to their channel 49 transmitter on January 21, 2011 (just last week!). It looks like their original plans for last summer got postponed until now.

We will update our database again to make channel 49 the "current" data.

Again, thanks for letting us know that the transmitter has finally gone live.
