Programming changes

• KAZT-TV 7.x Prescott (KAZT LLC [The Londen Group]) has added MeTV as a third subchannel. The programming also airs on its digital translators KAZT-CA 36 Phoenix, K20ID-D Kingman, K24DK-D Bullhead City and K17DA-D Lake Havasu City.
• KDPH-LD 48.x (46) Phoenix (Community Television Educators, Inc. [Daystar]) has added JTV (Jewelry Television) as a second subchannel. The JTV stream identifies to PSIP as channel 58.1.
• K42IQ-D Flagstaff (EICB-TV East, LLC) is on the air, more than two years after being licensed. It airs programming from Cornerstone Television Network.
• K18DD Camp Verde (Central States Communications) has dropped 3ABN in favor of Amazing Facts TV, joining co-owned station K19FD Camp Verde. While K19FD operates from Squaw Peak and serves Camp Verde, K18DD operates from Mingus Mtn. and serves Cottonwood, Clarkdale and Cornville. 3ABN programming continues to be provided in Camp Verde by K21GE Camp Verde, and in Cottonwood, etc. by K46IL Verde Valley. Both stations are owned by The Camp Verde TV Club, which also operates the two Central States stations.

• KTVW-CA 6 Flagstaff (KTVW License Partnership, G.P. [Univision]) has shut down its analog signal on channel 6, which it had continued to operate per Special Temporary Authorization after bringing its digital signal online.
• KPDF-LD 41.4 Phoenix (Una Vez Mas Phoenix License LLC) has returned to airing a slide advertising the station for lease, replacing an on-screen display of what looked like a DVD player setup.

Transactions

• Minority Media and Telecommunications Council has agreed to sell to Digital Networks several of the television stations that it received as a donation from Trinity Broadcasting Network. Digital Networks is owned by Henry Luken, owner of the RTV network, and part-owner of MyFamilyTV. Included in the sales agreement are K51IO Bullhead City and K38CX Shonto. K41ER Globe/Miami was also donated to MMTC by TBN but its donation has not yet consummated, and it is not included in the proposed sale to Digital Networks. Purely speculation: perhaps it is to be sold to Scripps Media to give KNXV-TV an OTA repeater in Globe/Miami, as all the other major Phoenix stations have?

Construction permits and Special Temporary Authorizations granted

• K61FB 12.x (48) Globe-Miami (Multimedia Holdings Corporation [Gannett]) has been granted a six-month extension of its Special Temporary Authorization to operate digital facilities on channel 48, with the temporary call sign of K48MJ-D. The new STA extension runs through December 30. The station has also been recommended for issuance of a construction permit. Technical specifications: Ch 48; TL 33-20-31 N, 110-52-14 W (Madera Peak); ERP 3 kW directional; HAAT 685 m.
• K38AU Tohatchi NM (Kee Long) has been granted a modification to its digital flash cut construction permit. It will change its antenna type from cardioid to omnioid and reduce its ERP from 2.62 kW to 0.62 kW, with minor reduction in predicted service area from its original flash cut proposal, which relocated the station from Crownpoint to Tohatchi. However, all of the service area in Arizona lost in this modification will be covered by new station K45LU-D Window Rock. Both K45LU-D and K38AU will rebroadcast the signal of analog station K44BB Window Rock. Technical specifications: Ch 38; TL 35-54-37 N, 108-46-26 W (Deza Bluffs); ERP 0.62 kW directional; HAAT 597 m.

Applications and Special Temporary Authorizations requested

• K36DU Lake Havasu City (Richard D. Tatham) has once again requested to flash cut to digital. Its last CP expired in March 2010 without being built, but since then, Mohave County and KAZT have switched their Lake Havasu City stations to digital. The previous CP was for a 7 W weakling which was predicted to cover the same contour as the current 1.53 kW analog facility; this application is for a much more robust signal. Technical specifications: Ch 36; TL 34-36-4 N, 114-22-13 W (Goat Hill); ERP 2.6 kW directional; HAAT 13 m.

Dismissed, canceled, expiring or expired

• The original construction permit for analog station K20IA Prescott (Marty Weiss) is set to expire on July 11. I don't see this station getting built.
