[edit] History
In February 1999, Central Arizona Broadcasting began operating K47FW, a low-power television station on UHF channel 47, on Special Temporary Authorization from the FCC.[citation needed] On October 18, 2002, the FCC granted an original construction permit to build a licensed low-power television station on channel 27, to be K27HF.
Prior to completing construction, Central Arizona Broadcasting realized the potential for interference on channel 27 from Phoenix station KAZT-CA, and applied to the FCC to move to channel 28. The FCC granted the application and the station was licensed on October 27, 2005, taking the call sign of KCAB-LP. It was the second television station licensed to Casa Grande and the first station to air locally-produced programming.
[edit] Programming
KCAB-LP airs most of the schedule from America One television. Local programming includes a newscast at 6:30 PM and 10 PM called "News 28 Prime". Other local programs include "Rox Tales", "Travel Talk", "Community Conversations" and "Sandi's Show".[1] Sports features include home basketball games from Central Arizona College in nearby Coolidge.
