KQBN-LP was a low-power television station licensed to Prescott, Arizona. The station was licensed to operate in analog on UHF channel 28 from a transmitter in the Bradshaw Mountains. KQBN-LP was owned by Una Vez Más Holdings, LLC of Dallas, Texas and was an affiliate of Azteca America.
History
An original construction permit for a low-power television station was granted on June 14, 1995 to Bruce Merrill, a pioneer in cable television service and cable television equipment manufacturing.[1] The station was originally to broadcast as K69HL on UHF channel 69 from Mingus Mountain between Prescott Valley and Jerome, Arizona, but shortly afterward, the FCC granted the station authorization to move to UHF channel 28 with callsign K28FF, and to move the transmitter to Tower Mountain in the Bradshaw Mountains southeast of Prescott. The station licensed its modifications on December 23, 1997. In February 2000, Merrill sold the station to Tiger Eye Broadcasting Corp. of Miramar, Florida. At some point, the station went silent.
In February 2005, Tiger Eye agreed to sell K28FF to Una Vez Mas. The FCC approved the transaction in May 2005, and the sale was consummated in April 2006. The FCC granted Tiger Eye a construction permit in June 2005 to move the station's transmitter location to the White Tank Mountains to the northwest of Phoenix to serve the rapidly growing Northwest Valley cities, but the facilities were never built. Una Vez Mas changed the stations call letters to KQBN-LP in November 2005, and in October 2006, KQBN-LP moved to a new transmitter site in the Bradshaw Mountains not far from the original licensed site and returned to air, rebroadcasting KNAZ-TV from Flagstaff. The station began airing Azteca América programming in early December 2006.
KQBN-LP's license was cancelled by the FCC on March 28, 2011, due to the station being silent since August 1, 2008.
