KNIC-DT (channel 17) is a

Timberwood Park. Although Blanco is geographically within the Austin market, that city has its own UniMás station, KTFO-CD
.

History

KNIC-DT's history traces back to the March 1991 sign-on of K17BY, a

construction permit to build on March 23, 1988; operating on UHF channel 17, Clear Channel sold the station in March 1991 to Nicolas Communications. In November 1997, the station changed its calls to KNIC-LP (in reference to its owners); Nicolas Communications sold KNIC-CA in November 2001 (the station received approval to upgrade its license to Class A
status that same month) to Univision Communications, a sale that was completed in January 2002; that month, it became a charter affiliate of Univision's secondary network, TeleFutura (which relaunched as UniMás on January 7, 2013).

Univision had applied for a

special temporary authorization, before it ceased operations on September 28, 2006; its license survives as KCOR-CD
, a translator of KNIC-DT. KNIC-DT was one of the few television stations to have been built and signed on by Univision Communications.
