  • K41NV-D Parker (Landover 2 LLC) has been granted an original construction permit. It will actually serve the community of Quartzsite. Technical specifications: Ch 41; TL 33-42-12 N, 114-13-4 W (Town of Quartzsite); ERP 0.8 kW directional; HAAT -51 m. (20 m. AGL)
  • K44MD-D Parker (Landover 2 LLC) has been granted an original construction permit. It will actually serve the I-10 corridor east of Quartzsite. Technical specifications: Ch 44; TL 33-40-4 N, 114-3-31 W (Guadalupe Mtn.); ERP 1 kW directional; HAAT 313 m.

  • KGHD-LD 6.x (38) Las Vegas NV (Obidia Porras) has been granted a modification to its digital companion channel construction permit, changing its location to Black Mountain and its city of license from Overton NV to Las Vegas NV. Technical specifications: Ch 38; TL 35-56-46 N, 115-2-34 W (Black Mtn Arden site); ERP 15 kW directional; HAAT 570 m.

Construction permits and STAs requested

  • K19IP-D Flagstaff (Luke Skelton) has requested a six-month extension of its construction permit. The Seventh Day Adventist Conference of Arizona, who hold the construction permit, have raised enough funds to purchase the necessary equipment for the station, but continue to solicit funding for month-to-month operations expenses. Skelton claims that a tower site owner had promised in the past to host the antenna for this station, but is now saying that they cannot build on his tower, so they are searching for another site to host the tower. In addition, the coming winter weather would make building out the station quite difficult in Flagstaff. Technical specifications: Ch 19; TL 35-14-28 N, 111-35-48 W (Mt. Eldon); ERP 2 kW directional; HAAT 575 m.
  • K38LW-D Payson (Luke Skelton) has requested a six-month extension of its construction permit. The Seventh Day Adventist Conference of Arizona, who hold the construction permit, have raised enough funds to purchase the necessary equipment for the station, but continue to solicit funding for month-to-month operations expenses. Unlike Flagstaff and Prescott, Payson has not had any complications with hosting the antenna, but winter weather would make buildout difficult. Technical specifications: Ch 38; TL 34-17-23 N, 111-11-26 W (Diamond Point); ERP 1.51 kW non-directional; HAAT 299 m.
  • K50LV-D Prescott (Luke Skelton) has requested a six-month extension of its construction permit. The Seventh Day Adventist Conference of Arizona, who hold the construction permit, are still trying to raise funds to purchase the necessary equipment for the station. The permit holders have secured legal counsel to address lengthy delays and alleged misinformation provided by tower operator regarding land owner and access easement, are awaiting an unexpected 3-6 month application process for property sublease, and are concurrently evaluating an option to move the permit to a preferred site for the same market (Mt. Francis?) in order to attempt to reduce delays, significantly lower costs, and increase viewership. Technical specifications: Ch 50; TL 34-32-27 N, 112-25-40 W (Badger Mtn.); ERP 1.55 kW directional; HAAT 190 m.
  • K17JQ St. George UT (R & D Media Group, Inc.) has entered into an agreement to transfer the station license, plus another license in West Wendover NV, plus construction permits in Hurricane UT and Nephi UT, to EICB-TV East, who just recently bought R & D Media Group's other St. George license. The purchase price for the two licenses and two permits is $8,820.00. Technical specifications: Ch 17; TL 37-3-48 N, 113-34-1 W (Webb Hill); ERP 0.794 kW non-directional; HAAT 15 m.

Dismissed, canceled, expiring or expired

  • The licenses of K08HQ Chinle and K09XH Ganado (KOB-TV LLC) have been canceled. The cancelations appear to be part of KOB's shutdown of translator stations. It has been years since either station has last broadcast.

11.2, which was "this tv" movie channel in Tucson is running a banner right now for "movies coming soon". Tribune has taken over programming or "this tv" which I am guessing is the cause of the either disruption or end of this channel in Tucson.
 
oh I forgot to mention this is my yearly frustration with the rest of the nation for changing their time, the nfl is one hour later on Sundays and sub channel network programming that you are used to seeing at a certain time is one hour later.
