Phoenix/Tempe

Strike "Tempe" and add "Mesa."

TVG goofed this up for years in its channel grid on the first listings page.

KAET 8 was and is licensed to Phoenix, not Tempe, and always has shown
its COL correctly ("Phoenix") on the legal ID.

KTAR-TV 12 (now KPNX) was and is licensed to Mesa, but they never wanted
you to know that. It's only been the last couple of years that they finally got
got their on-air legal ID correct--showing the COL visual as "Mesa/Phoenix,"
for years previously it read "Phoenix/Mesa."

So, when did ABC start airing "The Ten Commandments" every Easter Sunday?

The COL was also listed as Phoenix on KAET's 1960's test pattern.
