KLEG-LP is a low-powered repeater station for KODF-LP in Dallas, TX, serving the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. This station is owned and operated by Dilip Viswanath.

This station was first established in 1996 as K19BW on channel 19 with Spanish programs, movies, and sports. Then on February 1999, the station was airing news from CBS Telenoticias (now Telemundo Internacional), thus making it a 24-hour TV station, compared to the daily 8AM-12AM programming limit. By September 1999, K19BW was moved to channel 44 to make way for KTVT's Digital signal, thus the station was rebranded K44FO. By November 2000, K44FO dropped the CBS Telenoticias affiliate in favor of the Spanish independent programming. By March 15, 2001, the station is once again rebranded to KLEG and two months later, it has picked up the Mas Musica network, only temporarily. Then the network was picked up by K57IG (now KSEX-LP). Now, KLEG is acquired by Azteca América affiliate KODF-LP to viewers who are North and east outside of the original KODF Coverage area and Dilip Viswanath will eventually turn its license over to Mako Communications LLC.

On February 19, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KODF-LP and KLEG-LP will be required to turn off their analog signals and turn on their digital signals (called a "flash-cut").

There have been indications that this station is made a Class A TV Station, according to the FCC Query Database.
