One of them will be a local weather channel. Both of them were actually up for about 48 hours in August with test patterns, but the final amplifier burnt out and needs to be replaced. It was an expensive malfunction-- the delay is purely financial. Used equipment with no warranties. Whoops!
In addition to those two channels, the Channel 34 that used to be owned by Trinity Broadcasting Network was purchased in a bulk nationwide low-power TV transaction by the company that owns RetroTV. They've been slowly activating these stations and usually set them up with the following lineup: (.1) RetroTV, (.2) PBJ/classic kids programming, (.3) The Family Channel, (.4) TuffTV, and (.5) home shopping.
No approximation on the RetroTV station on 34. The FCC extended the construction expiration dates for all digital low power TV stations indefinitely due to some spectrum concerns that don't really effect Hilo stations.
