The Gila River Broadcasting Corporation is a television network serving the Gila River Indian Community in south-central Arizona. It is owned by the Community through tribal enterprise Gila River Telecommunications.
GRBC broadcasts on three transmitters near the Community's major population centers: KGRQ-LD 29 at Stotonic Village, KGRY-LD channel 21 at Blackwater and KGRF-LD channel 19 at Maricopa Village. All transmitters use PSIP to display as channel 19.
History
GRBC launched in December 2014, two and a half years after the GRIC filed for the new television stations with the FCC. However, when Gila River Telecommunications was founded in 1989, a television station was planned but found to be cost-prohibitive.[1] Its official launch occurred on April 6, 2015.
Programming includes public service announcements and tribal content. Local programming, including news and children's shows, is planned.[2]
Master control for GRBC is located at the Gila River Telecommunications facility on the northern edge of the Community, with a Chandler postal address.
