35-540: KTVW-DT (channel 33) is a television station in Phoenix, Arizona , United States, serving as the local outlet for the Spanish-language network Univision . It is owned and operated by TelevisaUnivision alongside Flagstaff -licensed UniMás outlet KFPH-DT , channel 13 (which KTVW-DT simulcasts on its second digital subchannel ). The two stations share studios on 30th Street in southern Phoenix; KTVW-DT's transmitter

70-504: A barter in some cases. 24 Horas (Mexican TV program) 24 horas ( 24 hours ) was a Mexican television news programme broadcast from 1970 to 1998, presented by Jacobo Zabludovsky . It aired on el Canal de las Estrellas for 27 years, starting from September 7, 1970. It was the longest running news show on Mexican TV, with almost three uninterrupted decades of broadcasting. It stopped airing on Monday, January 19, 1998, even though Zabludovsky continued working on Televisa until

105-415: A much shorter wavelength, and thus requires a shorter antenna, but also higher power. North American stations can go up to 5000 kW ERP for video and 500 kW audio, or 1000 kW digital. Low channels travel further than high ones at the same power, but UHF does not suffer from as much electromagnetic interference and background "noise" as VHF, making it much more desirable for TV. Despite this, in

140-425: A variety of ways to generate revenue from television commercials . They may be an independent station or part of a broadcasting network , or some other structure. They can produce some or all of their programs or buy some broadcast syndication programming for or all of it from other stations or independent production companies.

175-496: Is non-commercial educational (NCE) and considered public broadcasting . To avoid concentration of media ownership of television stations, government regulations in most countries generally limit the ownership of television stations by television networks or other media operators, but these regulations vary considerably. Some countries have set up nationwide television networks, in which individual television stations act as mere repeaters of nationwide programs . In those countries,

210-470: Is broadcast via terrestrial radio waves. A group of television stations with common ownership or affiliation are known as a TV network and an individual station within the network is referred to as O&O or affiliate , respectively. Because television station signals use the electromagnetic spectrum, which in the past has been a common, scarce resource, governments often claim authority to regulate them. Broadcast television systems standards vary around

245-835: Is located atop South Mountain on the city's south side. The station's signal is relayed on two low-power translators : Class A station KTVW-CD (channel 27) in Flagstaff, and KDOS-LD (channel 19) in Globe . KTVW is also rebroadcast on the second digital subchannel of KFPH, whose transmitter is located atop Mormon Mountain, about 20 miles (32 km) south of Flagstaff in the Coconino National Forest . In addition, KUVE-DT (channel 46) in Green Valley and KUVE-CD (channel 42) in Tucson operate as semi-satellites of KTVW-DT, expanding

280-792: Is often used for newscasts or other local programming . There is usually a news department , where journalists gather information. There is also a section where electronic news-gathering (ENG) operations are based, receiving remote broadcasts via remote pickup unit or satellite TV . Outside broadcasting vans, production trucks , or SUVs with electronic field production (EFP) equipment are sent out with reporters , who may also bring back news stories on video tape rather than sending them back live . To keep pace with technology United States television stations have been replacing operators with broadcast automation systems to increase profits in recent years. Some stations (known as repeaters or translators ) only simulcast another, usually

315-658: The Daystar Television Network agreed to a trade that converted Phoenix's noncommercial channel 39 into commercial Telemundo outlet KTAZ . KTVW-DT also operates the UniMás station for the Phoenix market on low-powered KFPH-CD (channel 35), which broadcasts on full-powered KFPH-DT (channel 13) in Flagstaff (also a part of the Phoenix market), giving it "must-carry" broadcast station status on satellite providers DirecTV and Dish Network . KTVW began producing local news in

350-405: The broadcast range , or geographic area, that the station is limited to, allocates the broadcast frequency of the radio spectrum for that station's transmissions, sets limits on what types of television programs can be programmed for broadcast and requires a station to broadcast a minimum amount of certain programs types, such as public affairs messages . Another form of television station

385-534: The electricity bill and emergency backup generators . In North America , full-power stations on band I (channels 2 to 6) are generally limited to 100 kW analog video ( VSB ) and 10 kW analog audio ( FM ), or 45 kW digital ( 8VSB ) ERP. Stations on band III (channels 7 to 13) can go up by 5 dB to 316 kW video, 31.6 kW audio, or 160 kW digital. Low-VHF stations are often subject to long-distance reception just as with FM. There are no stations on Channel 1 . UHF , by comparison, has

420-405: The 1980s. As a result of these criticisms, and the fact that a certain degree of freedom of expression was given on several restricted television channels, as some critics argued, the sale of TV Azteca in 1993 and the arrival of Emilio Azcárraga Jean as president of Televisa in 1997, with the idea of refreshing and adapting the network's news spaces to the times. The following year, the decision

455-688: The Legend of Cibola Television Company (reorganized before launch as the Seven Hills Television Company), owned by a series of principals of the Spanish International Network, filed for a construction permit for a new television station on channel 33 in Phoenix, which was granted on August 17, 1977. The original applicant had just one local stockholder, Julia Zozaya (who later built and owned KNNN-FM 99.9 ). Facilities were jointly constructed with another construction permit, KNXV-TV ;

490-582: The Televisa group. However, he was an advisor to Noticieros Televisa on some occasions. He received awards and distinctions for his long career in journalism. After the end of the almost uninterrupted broadcast of the 24 Horas newscast, the successors of this newscast were specially prepared by this new news division. The first was conducted by the reporter who previously hosted the morning newscast Al Despertar, who collaborated sporadically with 24 Horas, Guillermo Ortega Ruiz . However, some time later and already at

525-627: The U.S., the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is taking another large portion of this band (channels 52 to 69) away, in contrast to the rest of the world, which has been taking VHF instead. This means that some stations left on VHF are harder to receive after the analog shutdown . Since at least 1974, there are no stations on channel 37 in North America for radio astronomy purposes. Most television stations are commercial broadcasting enterprises which are structured in

560-468: The United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 34 to channel 33 for post-transition operations. Prior to the shutdown of its analog signal, the station's personnel gave information on how to connect and operate their digital converters, and then counting down the last 15 seconds. Formerly, KTVW

595-821: The Univision signal into Southern Arizona . As such, they simulcast all Univision programming as provided through their parent, and share a website with KTVW. However, the Tucson stations air separate commercial inserts and legal identifications . There is also a three-hour overnight segment on Monday mornings, in which the Tucson stations broadcast locally produced English-language programming in accordance with KUVE-CD's Class A license. Local newscasts, produced by KTVW and branded as Noticias 33 , are simulcast on KUVE and KUVE-CD. Although KUVE maintains its own studios on Forbes Boulevard in Tucson, master control and most internal operations are based at KTVW's facilities. On March 12, 1976,

630-420: The beginning of the new century, a second restructuring was carried out, and Joaquín López-Dóriga was assigned to this night news space, who occupied that place from April 2000 to August 2016, and was replaced in that space by the journalist Denise Maerker . Many renowned Mexican journalists and newsreader started their career on this show. Examples include: After the final broadcasts of 24 horas , most of

665-461: The censorship of the Mexican government. This project was on the air until 2001, when Televisa canceled it due to its low profitability. It was argued that the editorial line of this program was pro-government, aligned with the Mexican government's communication policy, and consistent with the views of Televisa owner Emilio Azcárraga Milmo , who in an interview referred to his company as a "soldier" in

700-418: The channels of this company, initially of short duration and with a limited budget for production. Subsequently, a one-hour program called Café Matutino was created, hosted by Zabludovsky himself, which served as a precursor to 24 Horas. In its early years, it was broadcast from Monday to Friday in the evening. In the mid-1970s, an afternoon version was launched, titled 24 Horas de la tarde. In later years, it

735-610: The early 1980s with a 10-minute local news update that aired at 10:30 p.m. before 24 Horas from Mexico City; this was replaced with a 6 p.m. newscast in 1984. KTVW presently broadcasts ten hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with one hour each day, consisting of two half-hour newscasts at 5 and 10 p.m. seven nights a week). The station does not have any on-air weather staffers of its own, instead weather segments during KTVW's newscasts are produced by Los Angeles sister station KMEX-DT . The station's local newscasts (currently known as Noticias Univision 33 ) rank among

770-420: The highest point available in the transmission area, such as on a summit , the top of a high skyscraper , or on a tall radio tower . To get a signal from the master control room to the transmitter, a studio/transmitter link (STL) is used. The link can be either by radio or T1 / E1 . A transmitter/studio link (TSL) may also send telemetry back to the station, but this may be embedded in subcarriers of

805-495: The inventor of the Nipkow disk . Most often the term "television station" refers to a station which broadcasts structured content to an audience or it refers to the organization that operates the station. A terrestrial television transmission can occur via analog television signals or, more recently, via digital television signals. Television stations are differentiated from cable television or other video providers as their content

To broadcast its programs, a television station requires operators to operate equipment, a transmitter or radio antenna , which is often located at

875-419: The main broadcast. Stations which retransmit or simulcast another may simply pick-up that station over-the-air , or via STL or satellite. The license usually specifies which other station it is allowed to carry. VHF stations often have very tall antennas due to their long wavelength , but require much less effective radiated power (ERP), and therefore use much less transmitter power output , also saving on

910-475: The plan was to build a translator for KTVW in Tucson: this launched November 1, 1980. While owned by SIN-aligned interests, it was not owned by the network proper until then-owner Hallmark Cards acquired it from Seven Hills in 1989. For 27 years, KTVW was the only full-power Spanish-language television station in Phoenix, which gave it considerable market dominance. In 2006, this came to an end when NBCUniversal and

945-476: The programmes seen on its owner's flagship station, and have no television studio or production facilities of their own. This is common in developing countries . Low-power stations typically also fall into this category worldwide. Most stations which are not simulcast produce their own station identifications . TV stations may also advertise on or provide weather (or news) services to local radio stations , particularly co-owned sister stations . This may be

980-522: The service of the then-ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the Mexican president, Ernesto Zedillo . The newscast was considered by the opposition, as well as by the independent press , as another obstacle to the establishment of democracy in Mexico . Its marked bias in favor of the government, its lack of plurality, its servility to the presidential figure, as well as constant attacks on government opponents, earned it several citizen boycotts in

1015-405: The top-rated local news programs in the market, either English or Spanish. The station had the highest-rated newscast in Phoenix among the demographics of adults between the ages of 18-34 and 18-49 in 2004.
