Construction Permits and Special Temporary Authorizations (STAs) Requested
  • KBFY-LP 41 Yuma (Jeff Chang) has requested Silence STA of its analog facilities until its digital facilities are operational.
  • KDPH-LD 48.x (13) Phoenix (Word of God Fellowship Inc.) has requested a modification to its licensed facilities, to switch from a directional signal to a non-directional signal.
  • KPCE-LP 29 Tucson (Word of God Fellowship Inc.) has requested Silence STA of its analog facilities until its digital facilities are operational.
  • K31LZ Camp Verde (The Camp Verde TV Club Inc.) has requested an extension until January 10, 2022, of its displacement construction permit to flash cut to digital on channel 9.
  • K40NW-D Yuma (Hispanic Family Christian Network Inc.) has requested an extension of its initial construction permit, to January 10, 2022.
  • K40NW-D Yuma (Hispanic Family Christian Network Inc.) has requested a displacement construction permit to move to an in-core channel. The application awaits Mexican concurrence. A proposal by K42LS-D (now K27PC-D) to broadcast on channel 31 at 15 kW was rejected by Mexican authorities, but this proposal may pass muster because the transmission site is closer to the adjacent stations in San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora, Mexico, and therefore, within range for permissible adjacent channel broadcasting. Technical specifications: Ch 31; TL 32° 32' 55" N, 114° 39' 10" W (Cor. W. County 19th St & S. Avenue B); ERP 15 kW H non-directional; HAAT 34 m (112 ft).
  • K41MO-D Lake Havasu (Landover 2 LLC) has requested a displacement construction permit to move to an in-core channel. Technical specifications: Ch 10; TL 34° 27' 29" N, 114° 21' 4" W (The Nautical); ERP 3 kW H directional; HAAT -157 m (-515 ft), 12 m (39 ft) AGL.
  • K44MD-D Parker (Landover 2 LLC) has requested a displacement construction permit to move to an in-core channel. Technical specifications: Ch 4; TL 33° 40' 4" N, 114° 3' 34" W (Guadalupe Peak); ERP 3 kW H directional; HAAT 302 m (991 ft).
  • K45MW-D Sentinel (Landover 2 LLC) has requested a displacement construction permit to move to an in-core channel. Technical specifications: Ch 6; TL 32° 51' 39" N, 113° 12' 33" W (I-8 & Agua Caliente Rd.); ERP 3 kW H directional; HAAT 23 m (75 ft).
  • K50NK-D Parker (Landover 2 LLC) has requested a displacement construction permit to move to an in-core channel. Technical specifications: Ch 5; TL 33° 42' 12" N, 114° 13' 5" W (AZ-95, 2 mi. N. of Quartzsite); ERP 3 kW H directional; HAAT -62 m (-203 ft), 12 m (39 ft) AGL.
  • KGHD-LP 6 Las Vegas NV (Obidia Porras) has requested a Silence STA, having gone silent July 13, while it awaits equipment to allow it to convert to digital using the ATSC 3.0, or Nextgen, standard. A poster on another forum has speculated that FrankenFM stations on RF channel 6 are planning to run an analog audio carrier on the 87.5 - 88.0 MHz portion of the signal and use the remaining 5.5 MHz to run an ATSC 3.0 signal.

Rulemaking Requests and Notifications
  • KMCC 34.x (32) Laughlin NV (Ion Television License LLC) has filed a notification with the FCC that it has reduced power at its Dolan Springs AZ transmitter (Site 1) to approximately 50%, effective July 5, due to electrical service issues. Ion is working to upgrade the capacity of its electric service and the internal electrical system, but if repairs require power reduction for more than 30 days, Ion will file an STA request to operate at reduced power until the electrical issues are fixed.
  • KVVU-TV 5.x (9) Henderson NV (KVVU Broadcasting Corporation) has requested a rulemaking to substitute UHF channel 24 for VHF channel 9 in the Table of Allotments for Henderson NV.
 
I have been reminded that while KGHD-LP has requested a CP to operate in NextGen format, they have not requested to use any portion of their signal for analog FM radio operations. In other words, the speculation is just that: speculation, with no facts to back it up.
 
Speaking of NextGen, KASW RF 27 has been down more lately than it has been operational. I know that ATSC 3.0 is still in its infancy, but I found the picture quality of the hosted channels better than the ATSC 1.0 counterparts.
