Arizona TV Station Update - January 2007

dhett

dhett

As always, questions, additions, comments and corrections welcome.

New licenses

  • K20HS Flagstaff (Turner Enterprises) was granted a license to cover the construction of their LPTV station on channel 20. Broadcast content is unknown.
  • KWSJ-LP 12 Snowflake (KM Communications) has been granted a license to cover construction of their new station in Snowflake on channel 12. With the new license came a city of license change to Snowflake instead of Concho. The transmitter location is the same as KWKM-LP 10 Show Low, licensed last month. I don't know what either station broadcasts, but given KM's other stations in Flagstaff (KCFG) and Holbrook (KNJO-LP), America One is a strong possibility
  • KHRR-DT 42 Tucson (NBC Telemundo) has been granted a license to cover construction of their digital facilities.

New programming

  • New station K41JE Williams (KTVK Inc.) may be on the air. KASW now lists the channel as one of their translators. I haven't been to Williams in several months, so I cannot confirm.
  • K19CX Yuma (KAZT LLC) no longer broadcasts KAZT-TV to the Yuma area. Instead, the station is a translator for PBS member station KAET 8 Phoenix.
  • K28FM Yuma (Broadcast Group Ltd.) has dropped MTV Trés for Retro Television Network.
  • K65BB Wellton (Wellton Mohawk Irrigation District) has dropped KAZT-TV in favor of KSWT's CW feed from channel 13.2, meaning a digital-only station is being translated into analog.

Returned to air

  • KCOS-LP 28 Phoenix (Aracelis Ortiz) is back on, again transmitting the ID slate with jazz/rock instrumental music background on a 3-song loop. It seems like a stronger signal, as I am picking it up much clearer. They put notice on their website (http://www.fe-tv.com/) in late August that they expected to be off the air for 6 months - the 6-month period ends at the end of February.

Silent station

  • KYUM 2 Yuma (Centro Cristiano Vida Abundante) is silent. The FCC recently approved sale of the station from Hispanic Christian Community Networks to Centro Cristiano Vida Abundante.

New construction permits

  • The FCC has granted to KBFY-LP 41 Fortuna (Powell Meredith Communications Company) a displacement construction permit to move their facilities to channel 53 and their city of license to Henderson NV due to interference concerns with several stations on channel 39, for which they had a construction permit. Prediction: the station will be up for sale soon, as the FCC has greatly increased its potential coverage and therefore, its value.
  • Venture Technologies has been granted a construction permit to build a digital companion station to K08NY Holbrook, which is also still being constructed. The new digital station, on UHF channel 58, will have the call letters K58IW-D.
  • KM Communications has been granted construction permits to build digital companion stations to KWKM-LP 10 Show Low, KWSJ-LP 12 Snowflake, KWTF-LP 51 Flagstaff (still being constructed), KNJO-LP 6 Holbrook and K50JJ Prescott (still being constructed). The new digital stations will be KWKM-LD 13 Show Low, KWSJ-LD 9 Snowflake, KWTF-LD 21 Flagstaff, KNJO-LD 15 Holbrook and K45JX-D Prescott.
  • The University of Utah has been granted construction permits to build digital companion stations to K07PH LeChee (Page), K23DP Kanab UT and K51GH Washington UT. The new digital stations will have the call letters K33IY-D, K17IB-D and K50KC-D, respectively.
  • Smoke and Mirrors has been granted a construction permit to build a digital companion station to K67HO Laughlin NV. The new digital station will have the call letters K35JA-D.
  • Clear Channel Broadcasting Licenses has been granted construction permits to build digital companion stations to K28EA Washington UT and K69CT St. George UT. The new digital stations will have the call letters K52KG-D and K25JS-D, respectively.
  • KUTV Holdings Inc. has been granted a construction permit to build a digital companion station to K07SC Hildale UT. The new digital station will have the call letters K08OG-D.
  • Western Kane County (UT) Special Services District has been granted construction permits to build digital companion stations to K10ME, K18DN, K28IT and K32DC, all of Kanab UT. The new digital stations will have the call letters K40JM-D, K16HF-D, K42HW-D and K26IO-D, respectively.
  • Biltmore Broadcasting Las Vegas Inc has been granted a construction permit to build a digital companion station to KLSV-LP 50 Las Vegas NV. KLSV-LD will broadcast on UHF channel 49.

Applications for digital television licenses to cover

  • KNAZ-DT 22 Flagstaff (Gannett) has applied for a license to cover their digital facilities.
  • KVMY-DT 22 Las Vegas NV (KUPN Licensee) has applied for a license to cover their digital facilities.
  • KVCW-DT 29 Las Vegas NV (Channel 33 Inc.) has applied for a license to cover their digital facilities.
