Profile CDBS |
KFTU-DT is a UniMás owned-and-operated television station located in Douglas, Arizona, United States, that also serves Tucson. The station broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 36 (or virtual channel 3 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Juniper Flats Road northwest of Bisbee. KFTU-CD is a low-power Class A television station located in 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 the second digital subchannel of sister station and Univision O&O KUVE-DT (channel 46), which is licensed to Green Valley, Arizona. The station is carried on the principal Tucson-area cable system (Cox) on 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.
