Public license information

KTFV-CD (channel 32) is a low-power, Class A television station licensed to McAllen, Texas, United States, serving the Lower Rio Grande Valley as an affiliate of the Spanish-language network UniMás. It is owned by Entravision Communications alongside McAllen-licensed Univision affiliate KNVO (channel 48), Harlingen-licensed Fox/MyNetworkTV affiliate KFXV, channel 60 (and translators KMBH-LD and KXFX-CD), and primary CW+ affiliate and secondary PBS member KCWT-CD (channel 21). The stations share studios on North Jackson Road in McAllen, while KTFV-CD's transmitter is located near Scissors, Texas.

Outline profile

After XHRIO dropped the Fox affiliation for MundoFox (later MundoMax), residents of the lower Rio Grande Valley had trouble receiving the new low-power Fox signal. Due to this, it was decided to add a feed of KFXV to the second subchannel of KTFV and display it as 67.1 (same display channel as KFXV) in an attempt to reach a larger audience.

In addition to its own digital signal, KTFV-CD is simulcast in widescreen standard definition on KNVO's second digital subchannel (48.2) from a transmitter on Farm to Market Road 493, near Donna, Texas.
