The
In 1996, LS Broadcasting, Ltd., Mundo Vision Broadcasting Company and Larry Safir sold KNVO to Entravision Communications for $24.8 million.[8][9][10] The sale was completed on January 24, 1997.[10]
On October 11, 2001, the Federal Communications Commission granted a permit to construct the station's digital facilities (requested in 1999).[11] The station completed construction of its full-power digital facilities in June 2006, and was granted a license on June 26, 2007.[12]
News operation
KNVO's newscast debuted in 1999.[7] The station presently broadcasts seven hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with one hour each on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays). In September 2010, KNVO started broadcasting local news in high definition.[13]
As of 2012, KNVO was the second highest-rated newscast in the market, behind ABC affiliate KRGV-TV (channel 5).[14]
In early December 2015, Entravision canceled the morning newscasts at all of its stations in the United States, including KNVO's Alegre Despertar.[15]
