Programming changes

• KTVP-LD 22.x Phoenix (Mako Communications, LLC) has flash cut to digital on channel 22. Almavision programming remains on channel 22.1, Mexicanal has been added to channel 22.2, and channels 22.3 and 22.4 are color bars.
• KFTU-CD 34.x (18) Tucson (Telefutura Partnership of Tucson [Univision]) has begun broadcasting under Program Test Authority. Telefutura programming is on 34.1, while 34.2 is an SD retransmission of KUVE-DT 46.x Green Valley. The analog station on RF ch 34 is still operational; I would imagine that Univision will ask for temporary authority to keep operating the analog facility for a time, just as they did with the Flagstaff flash cut.
• KFPB-LD 50.2 Globe (Globe LPTV) has begun airing programming from Zoe Television. It is Spanish-language Christian-based programming, but it is definitely not local, nor is it the Filipino network.
• KDFQ-LP 47 Prescott (Una Vez Mas Prescott License II, LLC) has returned to air once again with Azteca America programming.
• KPDF-CD 41.x Phoenix (Una Vez Mas Phoenix License, LLC) has added infomercials on channel 41.2. Actually, that should be "infomerical". As in one. The same infomercial looped over and over again, without sound. How do you bill for that? KPDF has three of the four programming streams that its full-power counterparts in Houston and Dallas have; will Biz TV complete the lineup? I think so.
• K51HV Cottonwood (Trinity Broadcasting of Arizona, Inc.) has returned to air, once again retransmitting TBN programming from KPAZ-TV 21.1 Phoenix.
• K43FO Las Vegas NV (Three Angels Broadcasting Network, Inc.) has begun running a banner advertising that it will be switching to digital soon. It is unknown when the conversion is planned, or which programming streams will be offered.
