KGRX-LD (channel 19) and KGRY-LD (channel 28) are
These stations are separate from the Gila River Broadcasting Corporation, which primarily broadcasts First Nations Experience (FNX) from transmitters on the Community itself.
History
In January 2012, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted the Gila River Indian Community construction permits for a series of television stations to be located on and licensed to serve the tribe. These included K19JT-D and K28MO-D. However, it was more than seven years until activity resumed on the facility; in the case of K28MO-D, the filings by Gila River had to demonstrate that KCOS-LP, a long-defunct analog station on channel 28 whose license was still on the books, was out of service.
In August 2021, the transmitters came into service, operating for the first month with FNX programming in the ATSC 1.0 mode. On September 20, 2021, the stations converted to ATSC 3.0, though Evoca has still to launch in the Phoenix area. Subchannels are in place for the over-the-air distribution of three paid services. As in Boise, Idaho, customers will pay $9.50 a month for Evoca's Scout box, which is capable of receiving ATSC 1.0, ATSC 3.0, and broadband content.[3]

All ATSC 3.0 stations must provide at least one channel of free-to-air television programming. As with Boise's Evoca transmitters, this obligation is fulfilled by airing BYU TV on each transmitter. Evoca offers additional programming utilizing the hybrid functionality of ATSC 3.0, similar to Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV) in Europe.
