PHX 11, the city of Phoenix news and information station, is partnering with LAT TV -KVPA/CH42, a new Spanish-language television station in Phoenix, to provide Spanish programming for its station.

“We are excited about this new partnership because we are one of the first government television stations in the country to seek out this type of union and it reinforces our commitment to expanding our audience base,” said Deborah Sedillo Dugan, PHX 11 station manager. “The type of programming we will be providing for LAT TV will coincide with overall city messages.”
