KAZQ (channel 32) is a non-commercial religious independent television station in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States. Its transmitter is located on Sandia Crest northeast of Albuquerque. Owned by Alpha Omega Broadcasting, KAZQ is sister to low-power station KTVS-LD (channel 36). Collectively branded as the AO Broadcasting Network, the two stations share studios on Montgomery Boulevard Northeast in Albuquerque.

History

KAZQ was issued an original construction permit on June 30, 1986, began operation on October 12, 1987, and was licensed by the FCC on March 29, 1988. Initially, it aired only Christian programming, but later added family-friendly secular programs to its schedule. KAZQ has been under the same ownership since the station was founded and is one of three full-service Christian television stations in the market — the others are KNAT-TV (channel 23) and KCHF (channel 11).

Programming

KAZQ broadcasts on a reserved educational channel and cannot air any advertising or infomercials, although it airs several hours a day of family entertainment. Some of the programs on KAZQ include Life Today with James Robison, This Is Your Day with Benny Hinn, The 700 Club and The New Jim Bakker Show.

Alpha Omega Broadcasting also owns low-power station KTVS-LD (channel 36), which features more secular programming.

Analog-to-digital conversion

In 1997, the FCC allotted UHF channel 17 for KAZQ's digital television station. KAZQ applied for a construction permit in May 2000; it was granted February 12, 2001, allowing the station to begin building its digital facilities. Special Temporary Authorization granted in March 2003 allowed KAZQ-DT to go on the air at reduced power while continuing to build full-power facilities. The station obtained its DTV license on January 6, 2006. KAZQ has elected to remain on channel 17 after the end of the DTV transition on June 12, 2009. Digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 32.
