KCEB
KCEB, virtual channel 54 (UHF digital channel 26), is a SonLife-affiliated television station serving Tyler, Texas, United States that is licensed to Longview. The station is owned by the London Broadcasting Company, formerly as part of a duopoly with CBS affiliate KYTX (channel 19). The two stations share studio facilities located near Loop 323 and State Highway 110 in southeastern Tyler; KCEB maintains transmitter facilities located near FM 125 in rural northwestern Rusk County (southeast of Overton). On cable, the station is available on Suddenlink Communications channel 2, and Longview Cable Television channel 10.
History
The station first signed on the air on July 27, 2003; operating as a UPN affiliate, it originally served as the full-power satellite of low-power stations KTPN-LP in Tyler and KLPN-LP in Longview. The stations were collectively branded as "UPN 58/54/48". The station's original analog transmitter facilities were located northwest of Longview, at the intersection of State Highway 300 and FM1844, near the town of East Mountain.
KCEB (Tulsa)
KCEB, UHF channel 23, was a television station located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States, that maintained affiliations with NBC, ABC and the DuMont Television Network. The station was owned by Elfred Beck. KCEB operated for almost ten months from March 13 to December 4, 1954.
History
The station was founded by Tulsa oilman Elfred Beck. KCEB (which Beck named after himself as a reversal of his last name) began construction of its studio facilities atop Lookout Mountain in west Tulsa on August 21, 1953. At the time, electronics manufacturers did not include UHF tuners on television sets ( Congress would later pass the All-Channel Receiver Act into law in 1961, requiring UHF tuners to be included in all newer sets by 1964) and converters or adapters had to be used on sets built prior to that time in order to receive television stations on that band; this factor would play into the station's downfall, as many UHF stations ceased operations during the 1950s and early 1960s due to a lack of wide reception; in June 1954, 82 UHF television stations were on the air in the United States, which was reduced substantially to 24 by the following year. At one point, an estimated 100,000 UHF converters had been sold to Tulsa residents by local electronics retailers (which accounted for about 40% of all households with a set in the area). The station was outfitted with the latest equipment.

by: GazeboI lived my life on a razor blade
Never found escape in my empty shade
Till came one day when the c.i.a
Said we need you bad down in leningrad
I took my life of a legal alien
A "bolivian dancer" that's what i was
And I knew I found my aim
Just telephone mama
Just living on a poison pill
Just telephone mama
A robot dressed to kill
Telephone mama
That's all I kept in mind
Just telephone mama
The rest is left behind
I met freulein in a french caf?
Just a cigarette and "les jeux sont faits"
Till came one night when she was in sight
Through the bathroom door saw her seek for more
I took my colt and I pointed at her eyes
A sentimental cancer that's what it was
And I knew I lost my prize
Just telephone mama
Just living on a poison pill
Just telephone mama
A robot dressed to kill
Telephone mama
That's all I kept in mind
Just telephone mama
The rest is left behind
She looked at me god she was so sweet
She knelt to my feet said she had to cheat
Cause she lived her life on the sharpest knife
And the k.g.b never let her breathe
I took her hand we decided to go far
The naivest "dancer" that's what I was
And two men approached the car
Just telephone mama
Just living on a poison pill
Just telephone mama
A robot dressed to kill
Telephone mama
That's all I kept in mind
Just telephone mama
