[edit] History

KTVW-TV was granted an original construction permit on September 15, 1977 and applied for its license on September 4, 1979 after it went on the air as Arizona's first full-time Spanish-language television station. From the day it signed on, KTVW-TV has been owned and operated by the same company: the Spanish International Network (or SIN), which became Univision in 1987. It was the only full-powered Spanish-language station in the Phoenix metropolitan area from sign-on until July 2006, when Telemundo station KTAZ began operations in Phoenix after a license transfer with KDTP. This head start has solidified its dominance in Spanish-language television in Phoenix.

KTVW-TV also operates low-powered KFPH-CA Channel 35, the TeleFutura station in Phoenix, which broadcasts on full-powered KFPH-TV Channel 13 in Flagstaff (also a part of the Phoenix market), giving it "must-carry" status on the DirecTV and Dish Network satellite TV services and their Phoenix local channel packages.

KTVW-TV broadcasts on digital Channel 34 (33.1; with a simulcast of KFPH-CA on 33.2).

[edit] Programming

A Univision owned-and-operated station, KTVW broadcasts the entire Univision lineup, including network newscasts. Its 5pm and 10pm local newscasts, "Noticias 33", rank among the top rated in the market, either English or Spanish. The station was the top-ranked in Phoenix among 18-34 and 18-49 demographics in 2004.[1]
