Programming changes

  • KPPX 51.x Phoenix (America 51, L.P.) has added a sixth subchannel, Home Shopping Network (HSN), airing on channel 51.6. The station has also reduced its Airbox programming to the barker channel, NFL Red Zone and Starz Movie Channel. HSN continues to air on KAZT 7.3 as well; there is no indication as to how long HSN will appear on two stations.
  • KPDF-CA 41.x Phoenix (Una Vez Más, LLC) has been airing what appears to be secular programming of unknown origin on channel 41.2, while continuing to air programming from Levantando Tu Nación (LTN) during the evening. KPDF now airs Liquidation Channel programming overnights on channel 41.3, after LATV programming ends. Now if we could only get a station to pick up ShopNBC...

Transactions

  • The Arizona Conference Corporation of Seventh-Day Adventists was granted approval from the FCC to purchase the original construction permit of K39KW-D Yuma from Jose Rivera Miramontes. The transaction has been consummated. The construction permit, already having been extended 6 months, expires on 3/28/2014, and is likely to be extended again until the FCC enacts its spectrum repack.
