KHLO has gone silent rather than repoint the satellite dish that received its programming from satellite AMC-8, which was taken out of service at midnight on June 30, 2017.[2] AMC-8 has been replaced by AMC-18, which is at a different location in the sky, requiring repointing the station's dish.[3]
