KSL's website changed a bunch of their stuff, so 5.3 changed along with it. The website redesign is actually very good in the weather section, though I don't get why I can't seem to get to the regular Vortex radar pages without going through the interactive version first. It looks like the interactive stuff is being pulled from intellicast and just doesn't work. Clicking through to the KSL created pages works fine.
Today I'm not hearing the music feed and I remember that Ken told us back in May that the music would be changing soon. Is that happening?

I don't know if there are imminent plans to change the music on 5-3.
The DAD computer (ENCO Systems Digital Audio Delivery) that runs the audio decided to blow up over the weekend....glad you caught it and brought it to our attention. We had other audio issues with the feeds to COMCAST yesterday, and wouldn't have noticed it until today sometime.
The ENCO system is usually pretty reliable. It runs everything on the radio side, too. This one is just a non-networked, stand-alone unit for TV 5-3.
BTW, check out the new "Sign Off" test pattern next Friday and Saturday night, on KSL HD (5-1).

Glad I could help, even in a small way. I did find a simulcast of KSFI on the alternate audio feed on 5-3 which makes for a good substitute. I recall you saying that it wasn't supposed to be public due to copyright issues. Am I supposed to be able to get that or did something glitch?

I checked that last night, too.
The KSFI audio is not defined in the PSIP tables ("Hidden Channel"), so very few receivers will find it. Some of the translators use a professional receiver, that can be manually programmed. Others just run 24/7 on a UPS, and if they lose the channel, we put that one "in the clear" for a few minutes while the translator engineer rescans his receiver.
As for the change in the music, I think it's a low priority right now, but may happen when they rework the background graphics. They need to change the "KSL-DT" to KSL-TV" and fix the logos.

I receive the 2nd channel audio on 5.3 only on my Philips TV. I've never seen it on any other TV or converter box.
