History

K27EC-D

An original construction permit for a low-power station on channel 27 was issued on March 19, 1993 to Lake Havasu Christian Television. [2] After several extensions of the construction permit, the station was licensed on March 1, 1996 [3] and upgraded its license to Class A in September 2001. [4] It had been known as K27EC since the original permit. Following conversation to digital broadcasting, the station changed its call sign on July 25, 2011 to K27EC-CD and again on October 18, 2011 to K27EC-D. The station also surrendered its digital class A license to the FCC on April 8, 2013, reverting to a standard digital low-power license.

K25HD-D

An original construction permit for a low-power station on channel 65 was issued on February 20, 1992 to Richard D. Tatham. [5] The station, known as K65FI, was originally to specify Laughlin as its city of license, but changed to Bullhead City during the course of construction. After several extensions of the construction permit, the station was licensed on April 5, 1996. [6] In 2000, required to abandon the 700 mHz spectrum, K65FI applied to move to channel 25; the application was granted in May 2001. [7] The station also sought to convert its license to Class A. [8] The upgrade was approved in September 2001 and the station was licensed as K25HD on June 4, 2004. [9] Following conversion to digital broadcasting, the station changed its call sign on November 30, 2011 to K25HD-D. The station surrendered its digital class A license to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on April 8, 2013, reverting to a standard digital low-power license.

The FCC cancelled both K27EC-D and K25HD-D's licenses on October 7, 2022, due to failure to file applications to renew the licenses. [10]

Analog-to-digital conversion

The FCC gave low-power television station licensees and construction permit holders the option of either applying for a separate companion channel for digital operations during the DTV conversion, or to turn off the analog broadcast signal and turn on the digital signal (known as a "flash cut"). Tatham and Lake Havasu Christian Television opted for the latter course of action, and applied for flash cut conversions on both K27EC and K25HD. On July 24, 2006, K25HD was granted authorization to construct digital facilities on channel 25 and flash cut to digital. [13] The digital flash cut application for K27EC has not yet been approved by the FCC as of March 2007. [14]
