Did You Know?

Mohave County is the only county in Arizona authorized to operate a television improvement district.

Arizona Revised Statutes Section 48-1101 authorizes establishment of a television improvement district by any county that received payments from the federal government in lieu of taxes from the proceeds of hydroelectric power developments between January 1, 1975 and January 1, 1983. Only one county in the state can meet those criteria: Mohave County.

The Mohave County television improvement district operates more than 40 television translators, and is overseen by the Mohave County Board of Supervisors, which serves as the licensee of each translator. The translator stations rebroadcast KTVK Phoenix, KPHO-TV Phoenix, KAET Phoenix, KSAZ-TV Phoenix, KPNX Mesa and KNXV-TV Phoenix via microwave link, and KLAS Las Vegas NV and KLVX Las Vegas NV via over-the-air pickup, and serve Lake Havasu City, Bullhead City & the Mohave Valley (including Needles CA), Kingman, Golden Valley, Chloride, Dolan Springs, Meadview, Peach Springs, Littlefield & Beaver Dam (including Mesquite NV), Colorado City, and Moccasin & Fredonia.
