BYU Television International is a cable/satellite television channel operated by Brigham Young University. BYU Television International broadcasts simultaneously in English, Spanish and Portuguese, with most of the programming also seen on its sister channel, BYU Television. Content originates from BYU, BYU-Idaho, BYU-Hawaii, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and independent producers. Broadcasting via Satellite and as KBYU's 11.3 subchannel, BYU Television International is available in most parts of the world. It aims to provide viewers worldwide with high-quality, educational and inspirational programming. It is available through direct satellite broadcast services such as Dish Network and DIRECTV, as well as on the internet as two separate Ooyala streams: one for Spanish and the other for Portuguese.
I have mixed feelings about the change myself. Channel 11.3 was the only full-time PBS Create channel available in Utah, but here in Northern Utah I can get most of Create's programming on Idaho PTV's 10.3 "Learn" channel. On the other hand, I hate "duplicate" channels that show the same programs, and I appreciate that there are many here in Utah who will appreciate another unique free TV channel.

I love CreateTV and am missing it already!
ReplyDeleteHow can we get it back?
Your choices are limited. You can set up an antenna that is capable of receiving the Preston / Franklin County translators and watch on Idaho PTV channel 10.3. If your current antenna is powerful enough, just point it North and re-scan, but you'll lose CW30.
ReplyDeleteI don't think your chances of getting Create back on KBYU are very good. You could try to lobby channel 7 to pick it up (they would probably have to drop V-me). Channel 9, KUEN, has bandwidth to spare, although they don't have an affiliation with PBS. And as I pointed out above, you can use a FTA satellite system. A 30" FTA dish system can be set up for $100-$200. I will be doing a post on my FTA experience in a future blog post.
THIS STINKS!
ReplyDeleteI need my This Old House, Rick Steves, and Cooking with Ming.
HOW DARE THEY do this to us.
:c (
They're BYU, and their priority is their own content: LDS and BYU. You can also find some of the content you're looking for may be on channel PBS channel 7 if you can't get KISU 10 from Idaho.
Deletewhen i put in10.3 i get a spanish channel, why? and how to i fix this?
ReplyDeleteI assume that you are referring to channel 11.3, BYUTV International, not 10.3. BYU "International" is just that: international, and it's in in Spanish (with a Portuguese SAP feed)
DeleteIt is not something you can "Fix".
What a bunch of buffoons. I used to support KBYU, but the dollar (and ratings) talk, and my dollars are going elsewhere. KBYU is peddling the LDS church on Spanish-Speaking TV now, and could really care less that the community watched 11.3 all the time.
ReplyDeleteLatinos need to learn English, so stop catering to them. English is our #1 language so change that station to an English speaking one. Fortunately we Have KUED. that's where my money goes with no sports, hoorah!!!.
ReplyDeleteEVERYONE living in the USA needs to know English...
DeleteThat said, being able to watch news and programming from your native country in your native language is a great thing - especially if you don't have to pay for it!
If you want PBS CREATE! for FREE you can try to get Idaho PBS OTA, or get a FREE TO AIR satellite system for about $100 - ALL the PBS feeds are there.
