[edit] History

In February 1999, Central Arizona Broadcasting, LLC, began operating K47FW, a low-power television station on UHF channel 47, on Special Temporary Authorization from the FCC.^{[citation needed]} On October 18, 2002, the FCC granted an original construction permit to build a licensed low-power television station on channel 27, to be K27HF.

Prior to completing construction, Central Arizona Broadcasting realized the potential for interference on channel 27 from Phoenix station KAZT-CA, and applied to the FCC to move to channel 28. The FCC granted the application and the station was licensed on October 27, 2005 as Casa Grande's second local over-the-air television station, following KAZT translator station K43CO. At the same time, the station took the call letters KCAB-LP.

[edit] Programming

KCAB-LP airs the schedule from America One television. Local programming includes a weekday newscast at 6:30 PM and 10 PM called The News of Pinal County and home basketball games from Central Arizona College in nearby Coolidge.
