Public license information

K36DU (channel 36) was a low-power television station in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, United States, which was last affiliated with The Worship Network.[2] Owned by Richard D. Tatham, the station maintained a transmitter at the BLM communications site on Goat Hill, approximately five miles (8 km) north of Lake Havasu City.[3]

History

[edit]

K36DU was founded on March 4, 1994, with an original construction permit granted to Richard D. Tatham of Lake Havasu City. The station was licensed on April 5, 1996, and converted to Class A status on September 10, 2001. The station surrendered its class A license to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on April 8, 2013, and reverted to a standard low-power license.

K36DU's license was canceled by the FCC on August 4, 2021, due to the station failing to obtain a license for digital operation by the July 13 deadline.[4]

Programming

[edit]

The station broadcast mainly television programming from The Worship Network. K36DU also broadcast at least three hours a week of locally produced programming, plus children's programming. In addition to Worship Network programming, the station also displayed a community bulletin board (CBB).
