KPAZ

Not to be confused with the real-life KPAZ in Phoenix KPAZ is a DuMont O&O (Owned & Operated) affiliate serving Phoenix, Arizona, and it's surrounding areas. KPAZ was launched on Apr. 10, 2016, a couple of months after Great American sold then-affiliate KOOL-TV to Adelphia Communications, and Adelphia announced that KOOL-TV would become an independent. Not wanting to lose any viewers, DuMont decided to launch a station of their own. Adelphia agreed to keep the affiliation until KPAZ was ready for launch. When the station launched on Apr. 10, it quickly became a DuMont affiliate and KOOL-TV became an independent. About two weeks later, KPAZ launched their own newscast. KPAZ is owned and operated by the DuMont Media Group.
