Histori
Sejarah awal
The original construction permit was granted on 6 December 1984 for a fully powered UHF 14 channel to serve Salt Lake City and the surrounding area. The station was originally intended as an over-the-air subscription television service as per its original permission, filed in 1979, but by the time the construction permit was granted, over-the-air subscription television had become obsolete and the subscription television app had been dismissed. For almost two years, the station does not even have a summons, but uses its app ID, 790822KE as its callsign. In November 1986, the station retrieved the letter KGBS , then changed to KXIV (for Roman numeral 14) in February 1988.
After four replacement construction licenses, KXIV was finally licensed on 24 March 1989 and commenced operations on 14 April. Initially, the station offered a general entertainment format with cartoons, classic sitcoms, drama series, classic movies and religious events. It was also Utah's home from the Disney Sore block syndicated cartoon programming. The station was originally owned by American Stores.
In February 1993, Larry H. Miller, owner of the Utah Jazz NBA franchise, bought the station; the station then changed its call letter to KJZZ-TV to reflect its ownership of Utah Jazz and the station status as a broadcast television channel for Jazz games. The format remained the same at first but in the mid to late 1990s, talks and reality shows were mixed in the schedule.
UPN affiliation, independence and affiliate MyNetworkTV
On January 16, 1995, KJZZ became an affiliate of the United Paramount Network (UPN) charter. However, in October 2000, the KJZZ made national headlines when it warned it would affirm its contractual right to step down from its affiliate contract with UPN if the network increased "urban/ethnic programming" to more than two hours per week. From the KJZZ perspective, the designated market area has the lowest percentage of African-Americans for the media market in the United States. UPN officials are angry at this request and consider the national network programming strategy, the two sides split when UPN diverts Salt Lake City affiliates to KAZG (channel 24, now KPNZ), a smaller station based in Ogden in January 2001, leaving KJZZ as an independent once again.
In the fall of 2005, KJZZ entered into a local marketing agreement with KUTV stations owned and operated by CBS (channel 2). As a result, the second event went something like Dr. Phil , Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy! added to the schedule (the last two shows have been aired on KTVX, channel 4 for about two decades before moving to KJZZ) as well as news releases from KUTV.
On February 22, 2006, News Corporation announced the launch of a new network called MyNetworkTV, which will be operated by Fox Television Stations and its syndicated division Twentieth Television. MyNetworkTV was created to compete with other new networks to be launched at the same time in September, The CW (joint network which initially consists of UPN and The WB's higher-rated programs) and provides UPN and WB stations not referred to as CW affiliates other than another option to switch to an independent station. The station is affiliated with MyNetworkTV when it was launched on September 5, 2006. However, KJZZ runs network programming on a tape delay at 11 pm. initially (not the suggested 7 hour clock for Mountain Time Zone), before then moving it to midnight. Possible causes include Jazz and LMA broadcasts with KUTV, although most likely the failed telenovela strategy is even worse in markets such as Salt Lake City, which causes displacement into late-night slots to silence possible station rank damage, along with obscene content from telenovelas clashing with KJZZ management views (native diverse programming strategies abandoned after most network stations signed charter affiliation agreements). KJZZ is also one of the few stations that never branded with MyNetworkTV imaging.
Return to independence
KJZZ dropped MyNetworkTV and became an independent station again on August 18, 2008. MyNetworkTV affiliate then moved to KCSG based in St. Petersburg. George (also on channel 14), which covers the area of ​​Salt Lake City through coverage on local cable television providers (programming services since moving to KMYU, channel 12, serving Wasatch Front through KUTV digital subchannel). In January 2009, DirecTV lowered the KJZZ from the range of stations available to local audiences when station owners and satellite providers were unable to reach agreement on re-delivery terms. KJZZ returned to DirecTV's ranks on 11 February 2009.
Larry H. Miller died on February 20, 2009. His son, Greg Miller, took over as CEO of Larry H. Miller Group of Companies a few months earlier. The FCC notes show a transfer of the 48% ownership of the station to a trust given to the widow of Larry Miller, Gail, is trustee, in April 2009. Thus, Gail Miller directly owns 48% of the stations, with the children Larry Miller holding the rest. After the LMA between KJZZ and KUTV expires in 2010, the owner of KSL-TV Bonneville International starts managing KJZZ under the new LMA.
On April 4, 2016, Larry H. Miller Communications Corporation agreed to sell KJZZ-TV and eight translators to Sinclair Broadcast Group for $ 6.5 million. Sales completed on June 17, 2016; Simultaneously, the station connection with Bonneville and KSL-TV ended, because KJZZ has become a brother station for KUTV.
On May 8, 2017, Sinclair entered into an agreement to acquire Tribune Media - the owner of Fox KSTU affiliate (channel 13) - for $ 3.9 billion, plus a $ 2.7 billion assumption of debt owned by the Tribune, pending regulatory approval by the FCC. and the US Department of Justice's Antitrust Division. While KJZZ-TV and KMYU (despite the fact that the last licensed city, St. George, is technically a sub-market in the statewide Salt Lake City market) is not contrary to the rules of ownership in the existing FCC market and will become Defended by Sinclair in any case, the group is prohibited from getting KSTU directly because today's broadcasters are not allowed to have more than two electric television stations in one market and KUTV and KSTU rank among the top four stations in the Salt Lake City market in view total (Sinclair CEO Christopher Ripley cites Salt Lake City as one of three markets, out of fourteen ownership conflicts between the two groups, where the proposed acquisition will most likely result in divestiture). Accordingly, the company may be required to sell KUTV or KSTU to other station groups to comply with FCC ownership rules and reduce potential antitrust issues prior to acquisition approval; however, the sale of duopoly to independent buyers relies on subsequent decisions by the FCC regarding local ownership of broadcast television stations and future action by Congress.
