KNSO, "Telemundo 51" is an NBC owned and operated television station in the Fresno, California area, and a station of the Telemundo network.

KNSO 51 signed on the air in 1996 and was owned by Sainte Limited. It aired religious programs in the mornings and asian programming in the afternoons. It also carried CMC California Music Channel. In July 1998 KNSO Channel 51 affiliated with The WB under a licensed agreement with KMPH FOX 26. KNSO Channel 51 was branded as "KNSO WB 51". On January 01, 2001 KNSO WB 51 switched affiliation from The WB to Telemundo, becoming the Valleys Telemundo 51. In May of 2003, the station was sold to General Electric and became part of the NBC Universal family of station, which also owns and operates the Telemundo Network.

In March of 2004, KNSO moved it studio location from McKinley Rd to its present location in the North Fresno area, at 30 River Park Place. In the process of new ownership and new facilities, an advanced operational environment was implemented, making KNSO one of the most advanced TV stations in the country. This experimental operation system allowed for a "limited intervention" master control center, which involves a highly automated system of operation. The station automation systems are almost completely self reliant and provide for little to no assistance by the station personnel in running the on-air switching, monitoring, and logging. This system utilizes the Florical Airboss, a centralized sales and traffic systems,and various Grass Valley Group broadcast systems including the Profile XP and Concerto. This experimental operation system has shown to be a great success and has now been implemented in other station operation control centers.
