KTFF-DT, virtual channel 61 (UHF digital channel 48), is a UniMás owned-and-operated television station serving Fresno, California, United States that is licensed to Porterville. The station is owned by Univision Communications, as part of a duopoly with Univision owned-and-operated station KFTV-DT (channel 21). The two stations share studio facilities located on North Palm and West Herndon Avenues (using Univision Plaza as its street address) in northwestern Fresno, KTFF maintains transmitter facilities located on Blue Ridge in rural northwestern Tulare County. The station's programming is simulcast on translator station KTFF-LD, virtual and UHF digital channel 41, in Fresno. KTFF's feed of the network is also used to provide the network nationally on Channel 408 for DirecTV subscribers. ==History== The station first signed on the air in May 6, 1992 as KKAK; originally operating as an independent station, the station aired a mix of infomercials, religious and home shopping programs. The station changed its call letters to KKAG in 1994. In 1998, KKAG was sold to Paxson Communications (now Ion Media Networks). On August 31 of that year, the station became an owned-and-operated station of Paxson's family-oriented television network Pax TV upon its launch, and changed its call letters to KPXF. In 2003, Paxson sold KPXF to Univision Communications, creating a duopoly with Univision O&O KFTV (channel 21); after the sale was finalized, the station's calls were changed to KTFF, it also became an owned-and-operated station of Univision's secondary network TeleFutura (which relaunched as UniMás on February 7, 2013). Univision subsequently purchased Shop at Home affiliate KAJA-LP (channel 68, now on channel 41) from Cocola Broadcasting to become a fill-in translator for KTFF, adopting the KTFF-LD call letters (ironically, the KAJA calls are currently used as a brand name for low-power station K68DJ in Corpus Christi, Texas, which also broadcasts on UHF channel 68). In 2007, the Federal Communications Commission issued an order concerning KTFF and former owner Paxson Communications, denying a review of the sale of KTFF to Univision; it also implemented a deal with Christian Network, Inc. (CNI), parent company of The Worship Network (which formerly carried its programming on Pax TV's stations as both a late night block and later as a dedicated subchannel service), giving the religious broadcaster the right to program KTFF seven days a week from 1:00 to 6 a.m.. In addition, the station was required to provide a digital channel for CNI’s exclusive use (so long as certain conditions are met), after KTFF signed on its digital signal, if it used two or more subchannel slots. However, , KTFF broadcasts UniMás programming at all hours,〔Per channel listings at zap2it.com, zip:"93705".〕 though the date of its discontinuance of The Worship Network is unknown. It is also unknown if the discontinuance is tied to Pax's successor, Ion Television, discontinuing carriage of The Worship Network in 2010.〔http://web.archive.org/web/20100123203229/http://www.worship.net/article/january-2010-newsletter/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KTFF-DT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
