KMUV-LP is the Telemundo-affiliated low-power television station in the Salinas-Monterey-Santa Cruz market. The station is located in Monterey, California and broadcasts in analog on UHF channel 23. Founded May 31, 1989, KMUV is currently owned by Cowles Publishing Company. KMUV-LP is a sister station to KION-TV, a CBS affiliate. KMUV-LP was previously a Univision affiliate; it is unknown when the station switched affiliations.

On April 20, 2007, Clear Channel entered into an agreement to spin off its entire television stations group to Newport Television, a broadcasting holding company founded by the private equity firm Providence Equity Partners. The sale was finalized on March 14, 2008.[1] However, Newport Television could not keep KION-TV or KMUV-LP due to Providence Equity Partners' partial ownership of several media properties which serve parts of the market. KION and KMUV were sold to the Cowles Publishing Company, the owner of KHQ-TV and The KHQ Television Group in Spokane, Washington. [2] The sale was finalized on May 7, 2008. On that day, Cowles took over the LMA for KCBA from Newport Television.
