 Then, in October 2001, Equity switched the two stations' call letters – KPBI-LP channel 46 became KFDF-CA channel 10, having upgraded its license to Class A on August 27, 2001, and KFDF-LP channel 32 became KPBI-CA channel 46.Under Equity's ownership, KFDF was controlled remotely via satellite from Equity's headquarters in Little Rock, Arkansas, and was relayed in encrypted form via the satellite Galaxy 18 (Ku-band transponder 21).This was true of most of the company's stations.
