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:
  • K14NA-D Globe/Miami has never had an analog signal. It flash cut from K57BO on analog channel 57 to K14NA-D on digital channel 14. It is a translator of KTVK 3.1/RF 24 Phoenix and IDs as channel 3.1.
  • K59CI Globe/Miami has flash cut from analog on channel 59 to digital on channel 27 per STA. It has been recommended by the FCC for a construction permit, so one should be coming soon. The station is a translator of KPHO-TV 5.1/RF 17 Phoenix and IDs as channel 5.1. The analog signal on channel 59 has been shut off.
  • K61FB Globe/Miami has flash cut from analog on channel 61 to digital on channel 48 per STA. The station is a translator of KPNX 12.1/RF 12 Mesa and IDs as channel 12.1. The analog signal on channel 61 has been shut off.
