KTDO, channel 48 (digital 47), is a television station affiliated with Telemundo, serving the El Paso, Texas television market. It is licensed to Las Cruces, New Mexico.

The station signed on the air on November 11, 1984, as English-language independent station KASK. Five years later, it became KZIA, and in 1995, the station joined UPN as a charter member. In 1999, the ZGS Group of Arlington, Virginia purchased the station, changed the language of broadcast to Spanish, and affiliated it with Telemundo. The call letters were changed to KTYO, and later KTDO.

UPN, which went off the air in September 2006 after a merger with the WB to form the CW, never again had a full-time affiliate in the El Paso area.
