KTFF, channel 61, is the affiliate for the Spanish language network Telefutura in California's Central Valley. It is licensed to Porterville, California, USA. The station also has a translator, KTFF-LP, channel 41, in Fresno.

[edit] History

KTFF signed on the air in 1994 as KKAG-TV, an independent station airing entertainment programming such as movies, classic shows and some sports.

KKAG was later sold to Paxson Communications and the call letters were changed to KPXF-TV, and became a PAX affiliate.

By 2003, KPXF was sold to Univision, in which it became KTFF-TV and affiliated with Telefutura.

KTFF-LP was purchased from Cocola Broadcasting, which operated the station as KAJA-LP channel 68, which used to carry Shop at Home programming. Ironically, the KAJA calls (albeit fake) and the channel number are both used on K68DJ in Corpus Christi, Texas.

In 2007, the Federal Communications Commission issued an order concerning KTFF and its former owner, Paxson Communications. This order denied the review of the sale of KTFF to Univision, as well as implementing a deal with Christian Network, Inc. (CNI) , a KTFF program supplier, in which;

CNI has the right to program KTFF(TV)’s primary analog and digital channel from 1 am to 6 am [overnight], Eastern and Pacific Time, seven days a week. If, during the transition to digital television, the licensee decides to commence multicasting using 2 multicast channels, then the licensee must also make available a third digital channel for CNI’s exclusive use, so long as certain conditions are met.
