Gray expanding to Yuma

N

NYAZSporty

Alongside the big news of the Phoenix Suns & Mercury games airing on Gray's KTVK/KPHE-LD in Phoenix, there's also this added nugget in this CNBC article that states Gray is launching in Yuma this Summer. Right now, the Big 4 network affiliates there are owned by two companies, KYMA-DT CBS/NBC (Imagicomm Communications) & KECY ABC/FOX/CW (News-Press & Gazette). I'd think Grey would prefer KYMA-DT so as to have all CBS affiliates in AZ as they apparently see Arizona like Georgia. And kinda like what we see in Atlanta with then-WGCL, now WANF, KPHO/KTVK in Phoenix has rough patches & sure could use a refresh of their own to turn their station around.

Phoenix Suns and Mercury to move games from cable to local network and streaming

Games for the NBA's Phoenix Suns and the WNBA's Mercury will be aired on local TV stations and their own streaming app.

They have a CP for KAZS/27 in Yuma that will be used for their new sports network based at KPHE-LD Channel 44 in Phoenix. It's conceivable that Gray could commandeer CBS away from KYMA, either standalone as 27.2 or as a satellite of KPHO-TV/5, but I haven't read anything about that.

They also have a CP for KAZF/32 in Flagstaff. Same situation.
 
KAZS 27 is on the air, a friend of mine is the news director for a Yuma radio station group and published a story on them a few days ago
