Television District
Temporary Lake Havasu City and Desert Hills Area TV Service interruptions
Between February 17th and 21st 2025, Mohave County Television customers may experience very short loss of services temporarily before improved area coverage is fully established. The reason for the TV stations going off the air briefly is to finalize work and adjustments to modernized transmitters. Upon completion, it is expected the new TV service transmission will also provide more reliable service for those who have reception challenges due to terrain and weak signal locations.
If you have any questions, you may contact the TV District sub-contractor (Wecom) during business hours at 928-753-3829. If you call after business hours, you may leave a message with the live representative and a customer service specialist will return your call during regular hours. Be sure to mention that this involves OVER THE AIR TELEVSION and does not involve internet services.

The Mohave County Television District was formed in June of 1983 for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, improving, extending, maintaining and operating television translator relay facilities to serve the communities and citizens located within the boundaries of Mohave County. It was determined that the public interest, convenience and necessity would be promoted to residents of the County who otherwise could not receive television service.
Mohave County currently has 55 translators located throughout the incorporated and rural areas of our boundaries. The translators are licensed through the Federal Communications Commission and rebroadcast authority granted from stations located in Phoenix, Prescott, Kingman and Las Vegas, Nevada.
The goals of the Mohave County Television District are to provide primary television signals to Mohave County residents via high-band UHF transmission. In addition, we work with local cable television companies for the rebroadcast of these signals. This goal is accomplished in conjunction with the County’s subcontractor, who is also responsible for the maintenance of the facilities and the provision of quality signals.
The County Manager’s office is charged with the oversight of the improvement district, which includes licensing issues and policy changes implemented by the FCC, setting of levy rates adequate to maintain the operation of the translators, maintaining communications with the subcontractor and legal counsel as well as budget oversight. As a formally established County Improvement District, the operation of the district relies solely on revenues generated through property tax.
In light of the recent influx of satellite systems into the market and the FCC relinquishing the County’s right to regulate cable rates, the ability to receive affordable television service is limited. Mohave County has taken every effort to maintain our level of service at a cost effective rate that even senior citizens find affordable, $.06/$100 of assessed valuation.
