Flagstaff's Redwood Inn. The newscast ceased production in June 1994. KKTM became a charter affiliate of The WB when it launched on January 11, 1995, and changed its call sign to KWBF. However, Gelfand decided he did not have sufficient resources to support the station economically; in September, he agreed to sell KWBF for $1.4 million to Christian Network, Inc., an affiliated company to Paxson Communications Corporation that had been co-founded by Bud Paxson. Christian Network then transferred its stations to Paxson Communications in May 1996. Paxson Communications launched its Pax network on August 31, 1998. The station began airing the new service and was given the new call sign of KBPX; the network's intended Phoenix station, KPPX-TV, was not ready to launch. However, a translator on channel 67 rebroadcast the station in Phoenix. KPPX-TV ultimately debuted on February 15, 1999. In March 2001, Paxson Communications sold two of its stations—KBPX and WPXS in Mount Vernon, Illinois—to Equity Broadcasting Corporation of Little Rock, Arkansas, for $17.75 million; Paxson retained the KBPX call letters. The call sign was changed to KDUO on June 21, 2001, and the station switched to broadcasting the home shopping service America's Collectibles Network (now Jewelry Television). Equity also owned KOND-LP (channel 35), a Phoenix low-power station that began broadcasting KDUO's programming. Nearly immediately, Equity sold KDUO along with KBGF in Douglas, Arizona, and three low-power TV stations to Univision for $19.1 million in August. The newly acquired stations became Telefutura's stations in Arizona, with KDUO changing call signs to KFPH. Technical information Subchannels The station's digital signal is multiplexed: Analog-to-digital conversion KFPH-TV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 13, on September 18, 2008, citing a lack of space at its transmitter site to accommodate the analog transmitter, its digital channel 27 transmitter, and the new digital channel 13 transmitter; additionally, winter weather conditions rendered it impossible to perform work during the last 90 days before the conclusion of the digital transition. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 27 to VHF channel 13.
