Station Identification
Over the years, KPNX has used legal station identifications that did not comply with FCC regulations, which require that in the legal identification broadcast aurally or visually (a station must state its call sign, followed by its city of license). Dating back to its days as KTAR-TV, channel 12 has long identified its service area as "Phoenix/Mesa", though legally it should have been properly addressed as "Mesa/Phoenix." Beginning in 2008, KPNX begun using an FCC-compliant station ID on its analog and primary digital channels. On its 12 News Weather Plus service on digital subchannel 12.2, KPNX still identifies using non-compliant station identification, and does not air a separate ID at the top of the hour (as they already use one on the bottom left of the screen).

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
