KFPH-CD (channel 35) is a low-power, Class A television station in Phoenix, Arizona, United States, airing programming from the Spanish-language UniMás network. It is a translator of Flagstaff-licensed KFPH-DT (channel 13) which is owned and operated by TelevisaUnivision; it is also sister to Univision outlet KTVW-DT (channel 33). KFPH-CD's transmitter is located on South Mountain; its parent station shares studios with KTVW-DT on 30th Street in southern Phoenix.
Originally established as a translator for the American Christian Television System (ACTS) on channel 39, the station moved to channel 35 when a full-power television station was established on channel 39 in 2000. It has been owned by Univision since 2002 and has served primarily as a translator of KFPH-DT. KFPH-CD was converted in April 2018 to be one of the first regular ATSC 3.0 television stations in the United States as part of the Phoenix Model Market initiative and since has been regularly used for testing; its programming is available in ATSC 1.0 format on subchannels of other Phoenix television stations.
