KJIB-LP is a low-power television station broadcasting on analog channel 5 in Houston, Texas. Self-dubbed "Houston Country Video TV 5," it currently operates as a non-commercial channel programming classic music videos. Because of the limited reach of its signal, most viewers receive TV 5 via an online stream -- www.kjib-webs.com. KJIB-LP has a permit to build a digital station on channel 31.
History
The station formerly broadcast from the Clear Lake area on analog VHF channel 5, but those facilities were destroyed by Hurricane Ike in 2008 before the station was able to build out a digital facility. After Hurricane Ike, the station was displaced from its original digital assignment of channel 29, due to projected interference from KYLE-TV in College Station. (At the time, KYLE was planning to operate on channel 29 after the completion of the digital transition; the station has since moved to channel 28). KJIB-LP applied for a permit to move to channel 31 and to construct its antenna at the Missouri City tower farm. That construction permit was granted on September 10, 2009.[1]
