History

K25HD

An original construction permit for a low-power station on channel 65 was issued on February 20, 1992 to Richard D. Tatham.cite web |url=http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=159595 |title=K65FI original construction permit |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |accessmonthday=March 28 |accessyear=2007] 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.cite web |url=http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=221263 |title=K65FI license |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |accessmonthday=March 28 |accessyear=2007] In 2000, required to abandon the 700 mHz spectrum, K65FI applied to move to channel 25; the application was granted in May 2001.cite web |url=http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=544805 |title=Application to move K65FI to channel 25 |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |accessmonthday=March 28 |accessyear=2007] The station also sought to convert its license to Class A.cite web |url=http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=575048 |title=K25HD class A application |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |accessmonthday=March 28 |accessyear=2007] The upgrade was approved in September 2001 and the station was licensed as K25HD on June 4 2004.cite web |url=http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=994533 |title=K25HD license |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |accessmonthday=March 28 |accessyear=2007]

K27EC

An original construction permit for a low-power station on channel 27 was issued on March 19, 1993 to Lake Havasu Christian Television.cite web |url=http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=159597 |title=K27EC original construction permit |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |accessmonthday=March 28 |accessyear=2007] After several extensions of the construction permit, the station was licensed on March 1, 1996cite web |url=http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=159597 |title=K27EC license |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |accessmonthday=March 28 |accessyear=2007] and upgraded its license to Class A in September 2001.cite web |url=http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=574959 |title=K27EC class A application |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |accessmonthday=March 28 |accessyear=2007] It has been known as K27EC since the original permit.

Digital television

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.cite web |url=http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=1140208 |title=K25HD flash cut authorization |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |accessmonthday=March 28 |accessyear=2007] The digital flash cut application for K27EC has not yet been approved by the FCC as of March 2007.cite web |url=http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=1142325 |title=K25HD flash cut authorization |publisher=Federal Communications Commission |accessmonthday=March 28 |accessyear=2007]
