• The FCC has superseded an application by Jose Rivera Miramontes for a new LPTV station on channel 42 in Yuma. The amendment, filed in December 2010, reduces power from 15 kW to 1.9 kW to protect KBFY-LP 41 Yuma, a station that has been off the air since KYMA-DT first signed on its full-power pre-transition facilities on channel 41 in July 2006. Technical specifications: Ch 42; TL 32-40-22 N, 114-20-11 W (Telegraph Pass); ERP 1.9 kW directional; HAAT 386 m.
• K44DK Kingman (Mohave County Board of Supervisors) has amended for a second time its construction permit to increase power to 1.2 kW, changing from non-directional antenna to directional oriented toward 310° and adding 1.25° mechanical and 1.75° electrical beam tilt, to protect K44JR-D Laughlin NV.

• K21EG-D Golden Valley (Mohave County Board of Supervisors) has amended for a second time its construction permit to increase power to 0.64 kW, specifying a full service emission mask to protect K20ID-D Kingman. The application has been superseded with this new information.
• K34EF-D Kingman (Mohave County Board of Supervisors) has amended for a second time its construction permit to increase power to 1.2 kW, changing from non-directional antenna to directional oriented toward 310° to protect a new co-channel application with proposed community of license of Buckeye, but actually to be located in the mountains south of I-10, about 5 mi. west of the LaPaz county line. The application has been superseded with this new information.
• The FCC has superseded an application by Landover 2 LLC for a new LPTV station on channel 14 in Lake Havasu City. The amendment, filed in March 2011, changes the antenna type and changes the directional orientation from 55° to 75°, to protect K15CR Lake Havasu City. Technical specifications: Ch 14; TL 34-27-29 N, 114-21-4 W (Lake Havasu Island); ERP 0.25 kW directional; HAAT -154 m. (20 m. AGL)
• K31HY-D Needles CA (Mohave County Board of Supervisors) has amended for a second time its construction permit to increase power to 1.06 kW, specifying a full service emission mask to protect K30BQ Bullhead City and KMCC 32 Laughlin NV. The application has been superseded with this new information.
• The FCC has superseded an application by Tri-State Christian Radio for a new LPTV station on channel 41 in Needles CA. The amendment, filed in May 2010, reduces power from 5.53 kW to 1.43 kW, and changes from a non-directional antenna to a directional, oriented toward 270°, to protect K42EU-D Topock. Technical specifications: Ch 41; TL 34-49-43 N, 114-36-38 W (Lillyhill Dr., Needles); ERP 1.43 kW directional; HAAT -53 m. (30 m. AGL)

Canceled, Dismissed, Expired or Expiring

• The FCC has dismissed application 960710KR, a full-service television station on channel 17 for Page, proposed by Lake Powell TV Association. The application was for an analog station, and since a construction permit was not granted by June 12, 2009, the end of the digital transition for full-service stations, the FCC contends that it no longer has legal authority to grant any construction permit for a full-service analog station.
• The FCC has dismissed application 960710LC, a full-service television station on channel 43 for Coolidge, proposed by The American Legacy Foundation, for the same reason as the Page application. Depending on how serious the applicants for this station are, they may petition for reconsideration. The Coolidge application was originally for analog operation, but unlike the Page application, in April 2009, two months before the end of the digital transition, the Coolidge applicants filed an amendment to specify digital operation at 1000 kW, and the original application was superseded by the digital application.
• The original construction permit for analog station K05MK Flagstaff (Jackalope Broadcasters) is set to expire on December 15.
• The application modification for K48AY Kingman (Mohave County Board of Supervisors) to increase power to 1.14 kW has been dismissed by the FCC. The original modification was determined to cause interference to a new co-channel application for Needles CA, so on November 16, Mohave County was notified that it had 30 days to amend the application modification. They filed an amendment on November 23 to specify a directional antenna oriented toward true north, with 2.75° mechanical and 1.75° electrical beam tilt, but on November 30, it was determined that the amended application would still cause interference, and the modification was dismissed. I guess you only get one shot to amend, and not the full 30 days.
• The application modification for K50CY Kingman (Mohave County Board of Supervisors) to increase power to 1.3 kW has been dismissed by the FCC. The original modification was determined to cause interfernece to a new co-channel application for Parker, so on November 16, Mohave County was notified that it had 30 days to amend the application modification. They filed an amendment on November 23 to specify a directional antenna oriented toward 310° true, with 1.75° electrical beam tilt, but on November 30, it was determined that the amended application would still cause interference, and the modification was dismissed.
