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:
“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
