KSVN-CA is a low-power Class A television station in Ogden, Utah, broadcasting locally in analog on UHF channel 49 as an affiliate of Azteca America. Founded March 28, 1995, the station is owned by Azteca Broadcasting Company. The station is also broadcast in Salt Lake City on translator station, K66FN, UHF channel 66. Unlike many low-powered stations, it is seen on Channel 98 through Comcast cable in the Salt Lake City area in addition to its low powered signal.
[edit] History
The station began with an original construction permit issued to Rolando Collantes on March 28, 1995 to build a low-power station on UHF channel 21 to serve the Ogden, Utah, area. Station K21ET was licensed on March 1, 1996, programming unknown. A month later, the station took the call letters KSVN-LP. In 1999, Collantes formed a new company, Azteca Broadcasting Company, and moved the station's license under the new entity. In September 2000, facing displacement from channel 21, the station moved to channel 49 and in December 2000, upgraded to a Class A license. They changed their call letters to KSVN-CA a month later.
On October 16, 1995, Collantes was issued a construction permit to build a low-power translator station on UHF channel 66 to serve Salt Lake City. The station, given callsign K66FN, was also licensed on March 1, 1996. In July 2006, the station applied for permission to move to UHF channel 39.
On February 19, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KSVN-CA will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
