Thanks for all of the updates!
I think we've captured all the information you've provided. Just a few things worth mentioning: - The channel 46 Daystar affiliate is still using the callsign of KDTP-LD in the FCC records, so that is how it will show up in reports. - It looks like KFPH-CA has a new digital transmitter on record. This transmitter will undoubtedly replace their analog transmitter, but since we don't know when that will happen, the analysis results will show both entries for now. If anyone can confirm that the switch has happened, then we can remove the analog record. FYI, these changes should take effect immediately on any newly generated reports. |
You are correct in your identification as KDTP-LD. Daystar had changed call signs since being granted the digital companion channel CP, and actually had it changed to KDPH-LD in the FCC database, but the CP retained the KDTP calls, and when the FCC licensed the station, they changed the calls back to KDTP-LD. Daystar will have to get them to change the calls again.
More changes since my last post:

Notable Phoenix-market outlying station updates
The Phoenix TV market is far-flung, encompassing most of central and northern Arizona. Nearly 200 TV stations, mostly translators, serve the outlying areas of the market, but six of the stations actually hold full-service licenses. Certainly, a comprehensive list is too much, but here is a list of the full-service stations:
Call sign, City, RF channel, Virtual channel, Primary affiliation KMOH-TV, Kingman, 19, 6.1, Tr3s (name change from MTV Tr3s, or MTV3) KAZT-TV, Prescott, 7, 7.1, Independent KNAZ-TV, Flagstaff, 22, 2.1, NBC (full satellite of KPNX 12 Mesa) KCFG, Flagstaff, 32, 9.1, America One (currently silent) KFPH-DT, Flagstaff, 13, 13.1, Telefutura KDTP, Holbrook, 11, 11.1, Daystar (currently listed in TV Fool as Independent) Here are notable updates to translators:

Most of these changes were made several updates ago, but I'm just posting a note here for completeness. I think we've got all the updates for the major broadcasts. Not sure about all of the low power translator stations, but we should have everything that shows up in the latest FCC database updates. We do not see any active records for K59CI any more. It looks like the record was removed from the FCC database as of November 9, 2010. Is this station still on the air? -Mark |

K61FB Globe/Miami AZ finds itself in a similar situation: operating in digital per STA on a different channel than where it operated in analog, in this case, channel 48, while it awaits Mexican coordination for its digital flash cut application. It currently operates in digital on ch 48, while the ch 61 signal is off the air for good, but it retains the K61FB call sign. It has been given a temporary call sign of K48MJ-D. Once Mexico gives their blessing, the station will be issued a CP and once licensed, the K61FB calls will disappear, and you should then see the station under the K48MJ-D calls. Its virtual channel is 12.1, as it rebroadcasts KPNX Mesa. Another change: NBC Telemundo has surrendered the license for K28EY. It is off the air. |
More AZ Updates
KFPH-CD is now on the air on 35.1/RF35, and the analog signal is gone.
KTVW-CD is on the air on 6.1/RF27, just as you show it. Analog channel 6 is authorized to continue operations until July 5. K53DG in Laughlin NV has completed its transition. The analog signal on 53 is off and the digital signal on 6 is operational. It's licensed as K06PG-D. Most digital LP facilities in Mohave County AZ have come online, in some cases, before authorized. There are a lot; I'll give them all to you, and you can update them as you have time: Kingman/Big Sandy Valley K20ID - Per STA which expired 3/1/11 CP was issued on 3/4. K23FV K27DA K31BI K34EF K41FT K44DK K48AY K49GE K50CY Lake Havasu City K17DA - Per STA which expired 3/1/11 CP was issued on 3/4.

You haven't seen licenses requested for Mohave County's stations because they don't seem to remember to file for licenses to cover in time. The last time they had a large number of license modifications, they neglected to file for licenses to cover until the FCC canceled the permits. |
March changes
KFTU-CD 34.x (18) Tucson is on the air, but KFTU-CA 34 is still operating as well.
Licenses for KQBN-LP 28 Prescott and K57JO Laughlin NV have been revoked by the FCC. |
