KQRE-LP, channel 19, is a low-power station serving the Bend, Oregon television market, licensed to nearby Riley, Oregon. Owned by News-Press & Gazette Company, it serves as the market's Telemundo affiliate.

The station originally was a repeater of KTVZ channel 21, the market's NBC affiliate, but in January 2007, the station completed a transmitter move that brought it closer to Bend, making the rebroadcast redundant. The station began broadcasting Telemundo's schedule in analog on channel 19. In addition, KTVZ has a construction permit to move that station's license to Prineville and its transmitter northwest of that town, with a power increase from 5.5kw to 50kw. Currently, Telemundo programming can be seen on KTVZ's digital signal, on channel 21.3 / 18.3.
