[edit] History

An original construction permit was granted on March 30, 1982 to London Bridge Broadcasting of Lake Havasu City to build station K45AJ. Its transmitter was located in an industrial park within the city limits northwest of downtown. The station was licensed on March 5, 1984.

In August 1993, London Bridge Broadcasting sold the station to Jeffrey Holmes, who in turn sold the station to James Husted (later part of TV 45 Productions Inc.) in July 1985. Under TV 45 Productions, the station upgraded its license to Class A status and changed its call letters to KLHU-CA in 2001, and moved its transmitter to the Goat Hill location in 2002.

KLHU-CA was sold in February 2004, to Jensen Investments FLP of Seattle, Washington. The purchase originally included a Time Brokerage Agreement, which stipulated that the station would broadcast in the English language and would not rebroadcast another station's signal [1]. In March 2005, Mark Jensen, Managing Partner of Jensen Investments, transferred the business to Lake Havasu City, where it operates as Jensen Media Group [2].

[edit] Programming

As an independent Class A station, KLHU-CA has no network programming commitments, but is required to offer a certain amount of locally-produced programming each week. The station well meets its local content requirement, airing its own local newscast, called TV45 N.E.W.S ®, televises City Council meetings live, and offers local and state issues-oriented programming. They air a block of children's programs each weekday afternoon and on weekend mornings, meeting E/I requirements. Much of their programming consists of "Classic Television", old TV series from the 1950s and 1960s, such as "I Love Lucy" and "Bonanza". The station also broadcasts a midday movie each day.
