KPTF-DT
KPTF-DT is a religious television station in Farwell, Texas, broadcasting locally in digital on UHF channel 18 as an affiliate of God's Learning Channel. The station is owned by Prime Time Christian Broadcasting of Odessa, Texas. It is carried on Suddenlink cable television systems in Clovis, New Mexico and Amarillo, Texas.
History
The station began as a construction permit granted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to Winstar Farwell, Inc., on April 8, 1998. Originally given callsign KBGD, it was to broadcast on UHF channel 18, serving Clovis and Portales, New Mexico as well as Farwell, Texas. Winstar Farwell agreed to sell the construction permit to Prime Time Christian Broadcasting on August 24, 1999 and on February 25, 2000, Prime Time Christian Broadcasting assumed control. The station changed its callsign to KPTF on June 29, 2000. It began broadcasting under Program Test Authority in April 2001, but did not receive its license until June 26, 2002.
Located in a fringe area of the Amarillo television market, KPTF has cable carriage in Amarillo, but not in all parts of the market, in spite of must-carry rules. The FCC first ruled that Comcast must carry KPTF on its Tucumcari, New Mexico, system, but before the cable system was required to carry the station, the FCC ruled that Comcast did not have to carry KPTF. The station's over-the-air signal reaches only six of the 56 communities in the Amarillo market.

Captive
by: Sarah McLachlanThe streets are dark and empty now
Time for another day
Well I walk alone collecting my thoughts
That have gone astray
All of the memories, all of the dreams
Still remains entwined
All that we've had, and all that we've known
Are little by your mind
I only wanted someone to believe in oh, but your words
they're seldom found
'Cause when it comes to the problems that were meant to
be shared
You were not around
Oh but you'll plead with me now
You always stay
You give it one breath then
You're taking it all away
[Chorus:]
What is this love that holds me Captive in your eyes
Well I wish I had the strength to leave it all behind
What's done is done, and you do not give a damn
Just another heartfelt blow by your careless hands
I never thought in my life I could feel so much pain
Trusting in your kind
I never thought I could feel so alone
A faith in love so blind
But after all is said and done
The song remains the same
You please yourself and nobody else
Will you ever change?
Oh, but you'll plead with me now
You always stay
You give it one breath then
You're taking it all away
[Chorus:]
What is this love that holds me Captive in your eyes
Well I wish I had the strength to leave it all behind
What's done is done, and you do not give a damn
