Arizona TV Station Update - December 2015

Wishing everyone a happy 2016!

As always, questions, additions, comments and corrections welcome.

Programming changes

  • KPHE-LD 44.x (16) Phoenix (Lotus TV of Phoenix LLC) has added LATV programming on channel 44.1, along with local programming, and has moved Telemax programming to channel 44.2. Rev'n programming on channel 44.3 has been replaced with infomercials from OnTV 4U under the label Direct Response TV. Luken has now lost all three affiliations with KPHE.
  • KPDF-CA 41.x Phoenix (Northstar Phoenix License LLC) dropped LATV from channel 41.3 a week into the new year in favor of an Azteca America simulcast, then replaced that with a "For Lease" slide.
  • K19FD Camp Verde (The Camp Verde TV Club) is once again on the air, broadcasting programming from The Hope Channel.
  • K23FZ Camp Verde (The Camp Verde TV Club) is again on the air, broadcasting programming from Amazing Facts TV.
  • K47IK Camp Verde (The Camp Verde TV Club) is silent.
  • K49HP Camp Verde (The Camp Verde TV Club) has returned to air, rebroadcasting the signal of KTVK 3.1 Phoenix.
  • K28CW-D 45.x Flagstaff (Fox Television Stations, LLC) is silent.
  • K42IQ-D Flagstaff (EICB-TV East) is again on the air, replacing Cornerstone TV Network with The Walk TV on channel 42.1.
  • K50HU-D 5.x Flagstaff (KPHO Broadcasting Corporation) has returned to air, rebroadcasting the signal of KPHO 5.x Phoenix via K40AD-D Cottonwood. The channel's broadcast quality is poor, with severe signal breakup despite 100% strength.
  • KVMY 21.x (2) Las Vegas NV (Channel 33, Inc.) has launched Comet TV on channel 21.3. Meanwhile, Cozi TV on channel 21.2 has disappeared.
  • KMCC 34.x (32) Laughlin NV (Cranston Acquisition LLC) has returned to the airwaves in Las Vegas with MundoMax on 34.1, and Queue Network on 34.2 and 34.3. This would be the Black Mountain transmitter above Henderson NV, as the main White Hills transmitter near Dolan Springs AZ only has the primary subchannel.
  • K43FO-D Las Vegas NV (Three Angels Broadcasting Network, Inc.) has dropped Dare to Dream programming from channel 43.3; the network no longer broadcasts on satellite in favor of streaming distribution only.
  • KLSV-LD 50.x Las Vegas NV (Biltmore Broadcasting Las Vegas, Inc.) has added a fourth subchannel, airing a "For Lease" slide.
  • XHNON 38.x Nogales SON (Televimex) has launched full-time in digital, airing Canal Cinco programming.

Transactions

  • Scripps Media is consolidating its broadcast licenses under a single entity, Scripps Broadcasting Holdings LLC, following the merger between Scripps and Journal Broadcast Corporation. The transaction is considered pro forma and should be quickly approved by the FCC. Scripps Media, Inc., stations being transferred to Scripps Broadcasting Holdings include:
    • KNXV-TV 15.x Phoenix
    • K24KS-D 15.x Flagstaff
    • K30LL-D 15.x Kingman
    • K44CN-D 15.x Cottonwood
    • K47DJ-D 15.x Prescott
  • Journal Broadcast Corporation stations being transferred to Scripps Broadcasting Holdings include:
    • KGUN-TV 9.x Tucson
    • KWBA-TV 58.x (44) Sierra Vista
    • K16EO-D 9.x Oro Valley/Tucson
    • KTNV-TV 13.x Las Vegas NV
    • K44JR-D 13.x Laughlin NV
  • Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc., has consummated its pro forma transfer of control. Majority control of shares has passed from Stanley S. Hubbard to the group made up of his sons and daughters. KOB-TV, LLC, is owned by Hubbard, and the following two Arizona translators of KOB are, in turn, owned by KOB-TV, LLC:
    • K43GQ-D 4.x Klagetoh
    • K49ET-D 12.x Many Farms

Construction permits and STAs granted

  • Live Sports Radio, LLC, has been granted an STA to operate a low-power TV station on RF channel 4 in Glendale, presumably from University of Phoenix Stadium.

Mexican DTV Conversion

  • It has been reported that, despite the December 31, 2015, deadline for Mexican TV stations to convert to digital, some stations, mostly public or rural broadcasters, are still being allowed to broadcast in analog until the end of 2016. XHSSE 12 Sasabe SON (Gobierno de Estado de Sonora) is one such station. Although slated to broadcast in digital on channel 14, it continues to broadcast in analog on channel 12 and has not yet fired up a digital signal.

Extreme Mako-vers

Although Mako has been fairly stable in Phoenix as of late, there have been other diginet changes in Arizona in the latter half of 2015.

KEGS 30.5 Las Vegas has not aired IQRA in several months, but the PSIP for that service remains. Mako is just slow in updating. K41IO Las Vegas, Enlace, has been silent for about five weeks. I doubt KMCC-34 Las Vegas will remain for any length of time from their Henderson on-channel reperater. KVMY 21.1 is listed on RabbittEars.info as H&I, but I believe it will remain with Antenna TV because of the 'must carry' status that position holds. Of course, Sinclair doesn't always use logic to position a network, so any thing could happen. Titan listings shows that Grit will take over KTNV 13.3 on Jan 11th.

Over in the Orlando, Florida DMA, the Cox Media owned ABC affiliate WFTV (PSIP 9, DC 39) replaced Mega TV on the .2 subchannel with local weather. Laff remains on the .3 subchannel. This happened on January 1, 2016.

3. On Saturday, January 16 2016, 22:05 by Tim Foley

KAET 8 (Phoenix) has changed the PSIP branding on 8.1 to now read as AZ PBS. It previously read as EIGHT HD.

I downloaded the TV guide app. I notice that for Tucson they list 3,1, 3.2, 22, 45.1, 45.2 these don't come in on my box even after rescan. Any ideas why?

5. On Tuesday, January 19 2016, 23:45 by dhett

Beats the snot outta me. None of those channels are part of Tucson TV - either as virtual channel or RF channel.

6. On Wednesday, January 20 2016, 09:20 by Trip Ericson

Not sure about the others, but could 3.1 and 3.2 be KFTU-DT?

7. On Wednesday, January 20 2016, 18:01 by Showlow

The 3.1 and 3.2 are Douglas Arizona. Not sure why they show up on the TV guide listings for Tucson. Not sure of the others. Thanks for the response.

8. On Wednesday, January 20 2016, 21:00 by Trip Ericson

Douglas is technically in the Tucson DMA, so that much of it makes sense, at least to me.

14.2 poped up in Tucson Arizona. "Lease TV" so only infomercials. Right now they are only showing slides on how to buy airtime. At least it didn't replace anything.

11. On Friday, February 5 2016, 01:44 by dhett

I wonder if that might become the new home of Good News TV? They've been trying to lease a channel in Tucson for some time now.

12. On Saturday, February 6 2016, 00:57 by Tracy Flood

A swap of subchannels for ABC Affiliate WFTV 9 (DC 39) in Orlando, Florida.
(1) Local Weather from .2 to .3 and (2) Laff from .3 to .2
The .2 subchannel is on Bright House Channel 469. The .3 subchannel is not on Bright House.
Bright House Channel 469 has gone from Mega TV to Local Weather (1/1/2016) to Laff (2/5/2016).

Coffee in the United States is normally enjoyed medium roasted, and many times, it is brewed very weakly in comparison.
This simple easy to prepare dessert improvised leading to a softer and foamy texture, emulsifying the elements to give the needed
