It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 36 (or virtual channel 39 via PSIP) from a transmitter located in Alleman, Iowa. Owned by Ion Media Networks, KFPX-TV maintains a sales office on 114th Street in Urbandale.[1] On cable, the station is available on Mediacom channel 10 in standard definition and on digital channel 810 in high definition.[2]

Digital television

The station's digital signal is multiplexed:

{{ION DTV|39}}[3]

Analog-to-digital conversion

KFPX-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 39, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station "flash-cut" its digital signal into operation UHF channel 39.[4]

Former transmitter site

KFPX previously maintained transmitter facilities in Baxter, Iowa. Due to its short tower height, the station's broadcasting radius was largely confined to the immediate Des Moines area, although some southern and western suburbs may have had difficulty picking up the station's signal.[5] Therefore, KFPX relied on cable and satellite carriage to reach the entire market. With the move to Alleman, KFPX now provides over-the-air coverage comparable to the market's other stations.

Newscasts

For a short time in 2001, KFPX ran a prime-time newscast produced by NBC affiliate WHO-TV (channel 13) to compete with Fox affiliate KDSM-TV (channel 17)'s Fox News at Nine (which WHO eventually took over from CBS affiliate KGAN in Cedar Rapids). After that newscast was cancelled, KFPX reran WHO-TV's 10:00 p.m. newscasts on a 30-minute delay until early 2005.
