KFTU-DT

Index KFTU-DT

KFTU-DT, virtual channel 3 (UHF digital channel 36), is a UniMás owned-and-operated television station serving Tucson, Arizona, United States that is licensed to Douglas. The station is owned by the Univision Local Media subsidiary of Univision Communications, as part of a duopoly with Green Valley-licensed Univision owned-and-operated station KUVE-DT (channel 46). KFTU maintains transmitter facilities located on Juniper Flats Road northwest of Bisbee. KFTU-CD, virtual channel 34 (UHF digital channel 18), is a low-power Class A television station licensed to Tucson that rebroadcasts KFTU-DT to the city, as KFTU's coverage area falls well short of Tucson proper. KFTU-DT is also rebroadcast on KUVE's second digital subchannel in order to reach the entire market; this signal can be seen on virtual and UHF channel 46.2 from a transmitter located atop Mount Bigelow. On cable, the station is available on Cox Communications channel 60. KFTU-DT previously had another repeater station in Tucson, K48GX (analog channel 48), that provided over-the-air coverage to areas to the northwest of Tucson that are shielded by terrain from the KFTU-CD signal. The station has since been taken off the air, with no Federal Communications Commission information available. Similar to sister station KFPH-DT in Flagstaff, KFTU brands itself as UniMás 34, using the over-the-air channel of its Class A repeater in Tucson. [1]
