KMPH-TV
Encyclopedia : K : KM : KMP : KMPH-TV
KMPH-TV is a television station in Fresno, California broadcasting on television channel 26. KMPH began on October 10, 1971 as an independent station, transmitting from Visalia, California. It acquired its current affiliation with the Fox network in 1986. KMPH currently provides the only 10PM newscast in the Fresno market. It is the flagship station of Pappas Telecasting and the sister station to KFRE, the WB affiliate for the Central Valley.
In recent years KMPH has discontinued cartoons, relocating the 4Kids TV schedule to KFRE, which airs the 4Kids TV lineup on Sunday mornings. KMPH now airs 27 hours of local news each week, including the "Great Day" morning show featuring long-time anchor Kopi Sotiropolous and Bay Area native Anchor, Kim Stephens. It also airs court/reality/talk shows, sitcom reruns, and movies in addition to news and the Fox broadcasting schedule. Many television news stations have updated their studio cameras to robotically-controlled systems, but it is virtually unique to KMPH to train Floor Crew to operate the cameras manually, edit news feeds, and also participate in other pre-broadcast office duties in the newsroom.
This station also operates KMPH-CA in Merced, California on channel 17.
