KHRR

KHRR (channel 40) is a television station in Tucson, Arizona, United States, serving as the market's outlet for the Spanish-language network Telemundo.

Although identifying as a separate station in its own right, KHRR is considered a semi-satellite of KTAZ (channel 39) in Phoenix.

As such, it simulcasts all Telemundo programming as provided through its parent, but airs separate commercial inserts and legal identifications, and has its own website.

Although KHRR maintains its own facilities, master control and most internal operations are based at KTAZ's studios on South 33rd Place in Phoenix.

On November 28, 1983, a construction permit was granted to JP Communications, owned by Julius Polan of Chicago,[3] for a new commercial television station on channel 40 in Tucson.

[7] Taking the call letters KPOL, construction began in 1984, forcing the KTVW translator to move to channel 52.

[14] By 1988, both of the UHF startups were in poor financial condition: at KDTU, the Diocese of Tucson had instituted three waves of job cuts in two years.

The station's ATSC 1.0 channels are carried on the multiplexed signals of other Tucson television stations: In their Sixth Report and Order, dated April 3, 1997, proposing a digital television table of allotments, the FCC allocated UHF channel 41 for the KHRR-DT operations.

[30] The FCC granted the request on July 10, 2006, and the next day, KHRR applied for a license to cover their facilities, from which they were already broadcasting.

KHRR and Phoenix sister station KTAZ Channel 39 share studio space at the Telemundo Arizona facilities in South Phoenix
