07.24.09 KAZT Channel 13 Returns to Orbitel
Friday July 24, 2009 Maricopa, AZ:
Orbitel announced today the return of KAZT, Channel 13 to its basic cable TV lineup. The channel has been off the air since late February when the broadcaster lost their ability to transmit a signal to Maricopa. The DTV transition planned for February 17, 2009 was to make additional broadcast signal space available for KAZT to deliver a reliable permanent feed to the City of Maricopa and Orbitel customers. The decision made by Congress to delay the DTV transition to June 12, 2009, delayed the plans by KAZT to deliver their permanent solution for Orbitel customers. “Orbitel elected to not replace the channel in the lineup while we waited for the programming to return permanently” said Orbitel President, Keith Kirkman. “Orbitel appreciates the patience of our customers. Our staff has been in constant contact with the team at KAZT. Both organizations have worked very hard to bring this channel back to our customers.” KAZT is based in Prescott, Arizona. KAZT offers popular syndicated programming like MASH, According to Jim, George Lopez, Frasier along with original programming like the Daily Buzz and AM AZ. KAZT announced recently that they have entered into an exclusive agreement with the University of Arizona Wildcat Network to carry all non-nationally televised home football and men’s basketball games. Orbitel customers are encouraged to tune into Orbitel channel 13 and enjoy this great programming.
