History

The station began in 2007 on channel 10 with the call sign K10PY-D.[1] The station converted to digital transmission in October 2009, initially running a simulcast of KHLM until that station obtained a digital signal of its own, and later replacing it with the Azteca América programming of former analog station KUVM-CA, and changing its call sign to KUVM-LD on October 9, 2009.[1] The station's signal moved to channel 40 from the Missouri City tower farm on July 24, 2010.

On April 25, 2010, Azteca América programming began airing on a subchannel of KNWS, which Una Vez Más had contracted to buy. KUVM-LD dropped Azteca América from channel 10.4 on January 25, 2011.

Citing interference from KUBE-TV, the station applied on November 5, 2010 to move its physical channel from 40 to 14.[2]
