KAZT-TV

KAZT-TV, virtual and VHF digital channel 7, is an independent television station located in Prescott, Arizona, United States, and serving the Phoenix market. The station is owned by the Londen family of Phoenix, and, as such, is the only locally owned English-language television station in the Phoenix market. KAZT maintains studio facilities on Tower Road in Prescott, with a secondary studio in the Londen Center on Camelback Road in Phoenix. Its main transmitter is located atop Mingus Mountain (northeast of Prescott). Its signal is relayed through a network of seven low-power translators across central and northern Arizona, including KAZT-CD (UHF digital channel 36) in Phoenix. The station is also carried on cable providers throughout the state (except in the Tucson and Yuma markets), as well as on the Phoenix DirecTV and Dish Network local feeds.
==History==
The station was originally assigned the call letters “KNAZ” in January 1980, when the original construction permit was granted; that September, the calls were changed to “KUSK” (the KNAZ call letters ended up being assigned to the NBC-affiliated station in Flagstaff), and it was under the latter calls that the station first signed on the air on September 5, 1982. By the 1990s, channel 7 was running low-budget programming that mainly targeted northern Arizona, through its main transmitter transmitting from Mingus Mountain and a network of translators from Yuma to Payson, and from Casa Grande to Bullhead City. The station broadcast television series from the 1950s and old public domain movies (some of which were provided by America One and the American Independent Network), syndicated programs that were declined by other Phoenix stations, local talk shows, and home shopping programs from America's Store. Before the Arizona Diamondbacks began play in 1998, KUSK thrived on Major League Baseball telecasts, and aired San Diego Padres, Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants games.
On December 5, 1997, KUSK, Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, while the company reorganized. KUSK emerged from bankruptcy in May 2000. On November 30, 2001, KUSK reached an agreement to sell the station to the Londen family, who own a life insurance company and are active in local politics. The new owners officially took control of KUSK and its translator network on April 1, 2002.
The day after the Londen Group closed on its purchase, it relaunched the station with new call letters: KAZT-TV. It also adopted a new brand, “AZ-TV”, and a new slogan, "''Arizona's Own''." They also gave the station a significant technical facelift, including a studio in Phoenix, and purchased stronger programming. The station transformed from a low-budget operation focused on Northern Arizona into a high-quality independent station more focused on Phoenix and a serious competitor to the Valley's long-successful independent, KTVK (channel 3). To help ensure that KAZT would "do some good for Arizona", the Londen family put together an advisory board of notable Arizonans, including Governor Jane Dee Hull, U.S. Representative Bob Stump, prominent local auto dealer Lou Grubb, Jerry Colangelo of the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks, and Michael Bidwill of the Arizona Cardinals. Company patriarch Jack Londen later said that he had bought the station as a 50th anniversary gift for his wife, Dodie.
