KNVV-LP, channel 41, is the affiliate of TeleFutura that serves the Reno, Nevada, U.S. area. As a low-power station, it does not currently have a digital signal of its own. However, there is a standard-definition digital signal on KREN-TV's third digital subchannel to serve as that purpose. The station also holds a construction permit to move to digital channel 36 as KNVV-LD.
At one point it was simulcast on KNCV-LP, channel 48, in Carson City, Nevada. However, there are no longer any Federal Communications Commission (FCC) records of that repeater.
KNVV became the local affiliate of Univision in 2002, replacing KUVR-LP channel 68 (now KRNS-CA channel 46). KNVV is owned by California-based Entravision Communications.
The station is not available on either DirecTV or Dish Network for local viewers on those satellite services.
In September 2008, KREN-TV, then owned by Pappas Telecasting Companies, was placed under contract to Entravision (along with what was then KAZR-CA) for $4 million. No bidders were found for either property, and Entravision officially became the owner of both stations on April 1, 2009. At some point between September and April, Entravision moved KNVV's Univision affiliation to the main channel of the full-power KREN signal (which previously carried The CW, which then moved to KRNS-CA/KREN-DT2). At that time, KNVV switched to TeleFutura.
On August 15, 2011, Entravision turned off the analog channel 41 transmitter. The station remains available on KREN's third digital subchannel.
