KSAZ-TV (channel 10) is a television receiver station in Phoenix, Arizona, United States, broadcasting the Play tricks network. Information technology is endemic by the network'southward Fox Television Stations sectionalization aslope MyNetworkTV station KUTP (channel 45). Both stations share studios on Westward Adams Street in Downtown Phoenix, while KSAZ-TV's transmitter is located atop South Mount.

Aqueduct ten was the third television station established in Phoenix; briefly a time-share between 2 separate stations, it went on to get a height-rated station as CBS affiliate KOOL-TV, a call sign used until being sold in 1982 and becoming KTSP-Idiot box. Later a telephone call letter switch to KSAZ-TV in early 1994, the station switched from CBS to Fox as part of a major realignment of network affiliations later that yr and was purchased by Fox in 1996. It produces twelve hours a twenty-four hours on weekdays of local news programming.

History [edit]

Shared-time era and early years [edit]

While the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) worked its mode toward catastrophe a years-long freeze on new television station grants initiated in 1948, it issued a near-last version of the table of allocations for Arizona in 1951 that gave Phoenix channels 4 (inverse to three the next year), five (KPHO-Television set, the simply pre-freeze station in the state), viii, and 10. KOOL (960 AM), 1 of Phoenix'south heritage radio stations and its CBS radio chapter, had previously expressed involvement in filing for channel vii prior to the amended table being released,[i] and on September 27, 1951, it applied for channel 10.[ii]

KOOL was non lonely in its involvement. In July 1952, KOY (550 AM), the home of the Common Broadcasting System in Phoenix and 1 of the oldest stations in the land, filed its ain bid.[3] The two bids portended what could have been years of comparative hearings over who got the construction permit. To avoid this, in May 1953, KOOL and KOY struck a deal that would result in both getting construction permits to share time on channel 10. The time-sharing proposal, start used by the FCC in television receiver in grants for channel x in Rochester, New York, and suggested to KOOL and KOY past the committee,[four] was canonical on May 27, 1953, with KOOL-Telly and KOY-Idiot box getting construction permits the aforementioned day.[five] Nether the proposal, the stations would alternate daytime and evening telecasting.[4]

KOOL was the CBS radio affiliate in Phoenix, and KOOL expressed a want to similarly align its new boob tube station, but this would not be immediately possible. KPHO-TV, which held both CBS and ABC hookups after KTYL-Tv set signed on with NBC earlier in May, had just signed a renewal agreement with CBS a calendar month and a one-half earlier the construction permits were granted.[5] Fifty-fifty though the ii stations would have dissever staffs and ownership, much of the physical plant would be shared, including a maximum-power transmitter site on Due south Mountain.[half-dozen] Originally proposing to build goggle box studios backside the KOY radio studios almost First Avenue and Roosevelt Street,[7] KOOL and KOY arranged instead in July to buy a former car dealership at Fifth Avenue and Adams Street; KOY wanted to keep using the other site for parking.[viii] Studio construction started in Baronial, with KOOL and KOY crews leading the mode,[ix] and a test design went out for the first fourth dimension on Oct xix, 1953,[10] ahead of both stations' October 24 launch. The side by side day, channel x carried an opening programme featuring KOY and KOOL direction, including KOOL bulk owner Gene Autry.[11]

As shared-time stations, KOOL-Television and KOY-Television were a conjoined unit: separate staffs, common facilities, and no network affiliation at all.[xi] This changed in Jan 1954, when aqueduct 10 picked up an ABC amalgamation; at present, each of the 3 major networks had their own outlet in Phoenix.[12] Notwithstanding, KOY-Goggle box would not terminal much longer. In March 1954, KOOL reached a bargain to buy out KOY, whose full general manager, Albert D. Johnson, expressed a belief that the combined unit would do better under one operator instead of two and stated that the goal of the shared-time venture—to avert lengthy comparative hearings—had been met.[13] The FCC approved of the deal—reported equally $400,000 past newspapers and $200,000 to the FCC[14]—on May five, allowing KOOL-TV to become the sole occupant of aqueduct 10.[15] All staff were retained by the enlarged KOOL-TV.[16] It was the first time any of the post-freeze shared-fourth dimension arrangements had been wound down.[16]

CBS affiliation and Autry-Chauncey ownership [edit]

On December 29, 1954, KOOL-Telly announced it had secured the CBS affiliation in Phoenix, to brainstorm on June 15, 1955.[17] KPHO-TV, whose 2-year affiliation agreement concluded at that fourth dimension, was blindsided past the move, but information technology was a natural fit. Not only was KOOL radio already CBS in Phoenix, only Gene Autry had deep ties to CBS radio and television, too as Columbia Records. ABC soon found a new dwelling: startup outlet KTVK (aqueduct 3), which joined that network on March ane, 1955.[18]

Mr. Chauncey has ever been a guy who has said, "Nosotros're going to be get-go class. We're going to exist No. ane. And nosotros're going to do it the correct way."

Bob Davies, longtime KOOL radio-television employee, on Tom Chauncey'south management philosophy[19]

As a total-fourth dimension CBS affiliate, it was now able to feature Autry's show Cistron Autry's Melody Ranch on its schedule. Tom Chauncey, who also owned the biggest Arabian equus caballus ranch in Phoenix, was a minority partner with Autry. Over the years, KOOL-Television ran nearly the entire CBS schedule; Chauncey was a trigger-happy loyalist to the network.[19] In addition to local news, channel 10 produced a series of other local programs, such as the bilingual children's program Niños Contentos and investigative and feature series Affiliate ten and Copperstate Cavalcade.[19]

Phoenix audiences' loyalty to KOOL-Goggle box was proven in 1971. That September, a group of Valley business leaders led by Del Webb, organized as the Valley of the Sun Broadcasting Company, filed an application for a competing channel 10 proposal to KOOL-Goggle box's license renewal; this grouping proposed to return the channel to Phoenix-based buying.[20] However, the KOOL-Television license challenge was met with a decidedly cool reception by viewers and power brokers akin. Senators Barry Goldwater and Paul Fannin and governor Jack Williams threw their support behind KOOL; Goldwater noted he often cited KOOL as an case of a quality television set station, Fannin was "amazed" to learn of the counterproposal, and Williams—a quondam broadcaster—lauded its "record of public service" and inclusion of minority groups.[21] Further, hundreds of phone calls and letters in back up of KOOL were received by the station.[22] Ten days afterward the application was showtime made public, Valley of the Sun abased their channel ten bid.[22] Information technology was later revealed that the same Washington law house had backed a cord of similar license challenges to other stations across the state.[23] After the license claiming was rebuffed, Chauncey became the majority stakeholder as a result of a sale of shares by Autry.[2] [24]

In 1978, KOOL AM was sold to Stauffer Communications of Topeka, Kansas, with the FM and tv stations remaining under the Autry–Chauncey ownership.[25] However, cracks began to course in the longtime ownership partnership of KOOL-FM-Television. That same year, Autry allegedly began to try and induce Chauncey to reach an agreement with Signal Oil upon which the latter company would have the option to purchase Chauncey's stake at his decease. Chauncey then began negotiating to buy Autry out. These talks ended in Apr 1981 when Autry sold one-half of his 48.11-percent stake in the company to the Gulf United Corporation of Jacksonville, Florida. That May, Autry sued Chauncey, alleging that he had mismanaged the assets of KOOL Radio-Television, Inc., to the tune of millions of dollars and had diverted company funds to Arabian horses, cars, and airplanes.[24] Chauncey then filed a countersuit, accusing Autry and Gulf of racketeering and trying to pressure longtime director Homer Lane, who endemic a small but pivotal stake in the firm, to sell.[26] In the wake of the dueling lawsuits, and as early as November 1981, speculation began to circulate that Chauncey and Lane were nearing a sale of their stakes to Gulf.[27]

Gulf, Taft, and Great American [edit]

On June 8, 1982, Tom Chauncey and Gulf United appear that the latter was buying out the remaining shares in KOOL-TV, with KOOL-FM to be retained by Chauncey and carve up from the house; the dueling lawsuits would be dropped when the FCC approved the transaction.[28]

We told people for a long time that it stood for Tempe, Scottsdale, Phoenix, but I don't know if anyone really believed information technology.

Tom Dolan, news director in 1994, when the KTSP-TV telephone call sign was dropped[29]

The sale airtight on October ane, 1982, a month after receiving FCC approval, and major changes followed at aqueduct x. The first was a modify in call sign, equally the FM retained the KOOL designation. On October four, KOOL-Television set became KTSP-Tv; while Gulf claimed that it stood for "Tempe, Scottsdale, Phoenix", the more likely reason was that it mirrored another channel 10 station endemic by Gulf, WTSP in St. Petersburg, Florida.[30] Homer Lane, the general manager and minority owner, was replaced by Jack Sander, hired from WTOL in Toledo, Ohio.[19] Gulf also invested in new production equipment to make for a more high-tech look,[31] and it completed a project started under Chauncey to replace the transmitter and tower on South Mountain.[32]

In 1985, Taft Dissemination acquired Gulf Broadcasting, which had been spun out of Gulf United two years prior. The deal included the entire concatenation, merely so interested was Taft in Phoenix that it obtained an option to buy KTSP-Tv alone for $250 million if the entire Gulf deal were to collapse, and KTSP-Tv was the most expensive of the properties it purchased from Gulf.[33] Not long after Taft acquired Gulf, however, a major direction change occurred that would take long-term ramifications in Phoenix idiot box. KTVK, which had until that fourth dimension been a perennial 3rd-place finisher in local news, poached Neb Miller, channel ten's news director, to be its station manager and hired Phil Alvidrez, the KTSP-TV assistant news director, to run its newsroom.[34] The two hires by aqueduct three were partly responsible for KTVK climbing to the top of the Phoenix television market in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[35] On Oct 12, 1987, Taft was restructured into Great American Broadcasting afterward the visitor went through a hostile takeover by investors led by Carl Lindner.[36] Other subsidiaries of Peachy American Communications Corporation filed for Affiliate 11 bankruptcy in 1993, a move that did non affect the television and radio holdings.[37] The station changed its call sign to KSAZ-Tv on Feb 12, 1994, to match its new slogan, "The Spirit of Arizona".[29]

Every bit a Trick station [edit]

Afterward emerging from bankruptcy, Great American Broadcasting (renamed Citicasters soon after[38]) put four of its stations (including KSAZ-TV) up for auction, seeking to enhance money to pay down debt and fund more acquisitions in radio.[39] KSAZ-TV, along with WDAF-TV in Kansas City, Missouri; WGHP in High Indicate, Northward Carolina; and WBRC in Birmingham, Alabama, were sold to New Earth Communications on May 5, 1994, for $360 million.[40]

But 18 days later, New Earth announced that twelve of its 15 stations (those information technology already owned and those it was in the process of acquiring) would switch their varying Big Three network affiliations to Fox, which had been affiliated with KNXV-Goggle box (channel 15).[41] A major catalyst for the Fox-New World bargain was the network's newly signed contract with the National Football League's National Football Conference. New World'due south portfolio, dominated by CBS affiliates, included many stations that had long aired the home games of NFC teams in their habitation cities, such as KSAZ and the Phoenix Cardinals.[42]

The affiliation changes—3 of them in all—played out in phases. CBS was the first to movement, leaving aqueduct 10 for KPHO-Television receiver on September 10, 1994.[43] For iii months betwixt CBS's difference and Trick's arrival, KSAZ-Goggle box was an independent station, filling the pigsty left by network programs with movies and additional syndicated shows[44] while also using the opportunity to debut a suite of new news programs. Play a trick on programs moved to KSAZ on December 12.[45]

It's pretty much a flop in every category.

Dave Walker, television author for The Arizona Republic, assessing the aftermath of KSAZ-TV'south switch to Play tricks[46]

In the backwash of the alter, aqueduct x management faced the task of melding the station'due south more than mainstream image with the new Trick programming,[45] which proved hard. Not but did the news programs rate poorly, but the station let go of valuable news lead-ins Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune as skewing also old in viewership, and the competition by KTVK and KNXV was more than aggressive than KSAZ-Tv had anticipated. In June 1995, general managing director Ron Bergamo resigned afterward 7 years and in the wake of sweeps figures showing the station's news ratings in some time slots had fallen by as much every bit 50 pct;[47] that same month, an article in The Dallas Morning News called what happened to KSAZ a "worst-case scenario".[46] Revenue reportedly dipped across the New World stations by 15 percentage after their switches; New World direction, yet, also noted that the three months without network programming had led to the decline being more pronounced at KSAZ than elsewhere.[48] Every bit with near other New World stations, KSAZ declined to run Fox Kids programming, which instead moved to KTVK; in September 1995, KASW (aqueduct 61), a station programmed by KTVK, launched with The WB and Fox Kids programs.[49]

News Corporation purchased New World Communications, acquiring only its ten Pull a fast one on-affiliated stations, in July 1996;[fifty] the merger was finalized on Jan 22, 1997, making KSAZ an endemic-and-operated station of Fox. This condition almost became short-lived: in February 1997, Fox virtually traded KSAZ and sister station KTBC in Austin, Texas, to the Belo Corporation in exchange for Seattle'due south KIRO-TV.[51] That trade never materialized. Fox began to upgrade the station's programming, adding some high-rated off-network sitcoms (such every bit M*A*S*H, Seinfeld and King of the Hill) as well as college-rated syndicated court and reality shows. In the 2010s, Fox began to use KSAZ-TV and other stations on a regular basis to test new programs that later on entered national syndication, such as TMZ Live—which KSAZ was the second station to air[52]—and The Real.[53]

Fox Television Stations purchased KUTP (channel 45) in 2001 equally part of its acquisition of United Television (which had owned a 50% pale in UPN);[54] this resulted in the cosmos of Phoenix's second television duopoly.[55]

In 2006, Jordin Sparks won an opportunity to audition for American Idol later on winning KSAZ's own "Arizona Idol" contest; she ultimately went on to win the flavor.[56]

News functioning [edit]

In 1964, the KOOL radio and television set newsrooms were combined under the management of a new employee that moved over from KOY radio: Beak Shut, already being promoted by his new employer as the "Dean of Arizona Newscasters".[57] The newsroom grew from six people when Close arrived to 23 past 1970, making it the largest amidst Phoenix's four news-producing stations;[58] a helicopter, the first of several, was also added to the KOOL arsenal at that fourth dimension.[59] KOOL News became the traditional news leader in Phoenix; at i point, the station's 6 p.m. news broadcast (anchored by Shut) attracted 46 percent of all TV households in the market, the same share every bit the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite.[19] The station'due south success produced people who went on to larger jobs, both in and out of Phoenix. In 1979, Kent Dana—who would get a fixture at KPNX and later KPHO—was hired from KOOL-Idiot box, where he was anchoring the weekend news, by aqueduct 12.[60] KOOL was also the beginning Phoenix television station to win a Peabody Award, doing and then in 1980 for a documentary, The Long Optics of Kitt Acme.[61]

On May 28, 1982, at nearly 5 p.thousand., Joseph Billie Gwin, wanting to "prevent World War 3", forced his way into the KOOL-Idiot box studios and fired a shot from his gun. The butt of the gun struck Luis Villa in the back of the caput; Gwin then held Villa in a chokehold, at gunpoint, for nearly five hours. Gwin took four people hostage and demanded nationwide airtime. Two of the hostages, Jack Webb and Bob Cimino, were released iii hours subsequently. At 9:30 p.m., anchor Nib Close read a 25-infinitesimal argument every bit Gwin saturday next to him holding a gun under the table; Shut took Gwin'due south gun afterwards the statement and set it on the table.[62] Gwin surrendered to the police following the broadcast of the argument; he was charged with kidnapping, assault, and burglary and was later on declared insane.[63] Gwin was put on parole and placed in a halfway house simply violated that parole after assaulting two convenience store clerks in 1984;[64] he was released from prison in 2006.[65]

In the belatedly 1980s, subsequently KTVK poached Miller and Alvidrez, KTSP-Tv set'southward news ratings began to turn down, not helped past a series of unforced errors. In 1989, KTSP newscaster Shelly Jamison left the station afterwards actualization as both a comprehend model and posing nude in a Playboy pictorial.[66] The near publicized motion, nevertheless, was the 1991 dismissal of anchor Karen Carns, who found out she had been fired 15 minutes before the evening newscast when a newspaper reporter chosen to go her reaction.[67] Past 1992, KTSP-TV had failed to win the 6 p.m. local newscast ratings in at least one of the two television ratings services of the solar day (Arbitron and Nielsen), a celebrated first.[68] That year, Close retired from channel ten after a 28-yr career.[69]

With the Fox switch, KSAZ-TV added 30 news staffers and increased its news output from three hours a day to seven, with the addition of the two-hour morning newscast Arizona Morning, an additional early evening newscast at 5:30 p.k., and a 9 p.m. news hr, Arizona Prime number.[seventy] A simulcast of KTAR talk prove McMahon Live with Pat McMahon was besides added in belatedly mornings. Yet, the switch proved to exist very messy for the newsroom. Close, who said he felt "betrayed" by the affiliation switch, predicted that the station would lose its standing in local news.[69] Ratings for KSAZ-TV'due south other newscasts declined later the switch, prompting morale to fall. Arizona Morning was retooled merely months later its debut, and Heidi Foglesong—the sometime KTVK ballast who was the show'south centerpiece—left after just over a year.[71] The McMahon program was dropped in January 1996.[72]

After 2 years of a news product that was more staid and conservative than the station's network, things began to change in 1996 under new news managing director Pecker Berra, who promised to "bring upwards the intensity".[73] Presentation was revamped that autumn; the sound of an emergency siren was incorporated into the opening of the 10 p.m. newscast.[74] One anchor, June Thomson, increased her delivery speed at the behest of the new management, just the relationship broke downwardly, and Thomson took a job at KGO-TV in San Francisco. She told the San Francisco Examiner that the station skillful "law-breaking and trunk-bag journalism, just like Miami" and that she "watched the destruction of a one time-fine newsroom" at channel x.[75] Arizona Prime was replaced in April 1997 with Fox 10 News at Nine.[76]

On April 1, 2009, Fox Tv set Stations and the E. W. Scripps Visitor, owner of KNXV-TV, announced the formation of Local News Service, a model for pooling newsgathering efforts for local news events in which each station provided employees to the puddle service in exchange for the sharing of video.[77] KPHO-TV eventually joined the Phoenix LNS agreement soon later on the declaration.[78] By 2020, all 4 English-linguistic communication television newsrooms in Phoenix shared a helicopter.[79]

In 2014, KSAZ debuted an expanded Saturday morning newscast and a new Sun morning time news hour.[80] KSAZ added a 4 p.yard. weekday news hour, a second half-hour to its 10 p.m. newscast, and a 7 p.g. nightly 60 minutes of news for KUTP in 2018.[81] By 2020, KSAZ-TV's daily news output had reached twelve hours on weekdays.[79]

Phoenix was also the starting point for LiveNow from Pull a fast one on, the over-the-top streaming news offering from the Fox television receiver stations. It began as "Pull a fast one on 10 News Now" in November 2014, streaming for seven hours a day on the station's website and YouTube aqueduct.[82] In 2020, production of the service was spread between the Fox stations in Phoenix, Orlando, and Los Angeles.[83]
