On March 21, 2013, NBCUniversal entered into an agreement to acquire WWSI from ZGS Communications for $20 million. Prior to the sale agreement, WWSI had been the largest station (in terms of market size) aligned with Telemundo that was not an owned-and-operated station of the network. The deal created a duopoly with NBC-owned Philadelphia station WCAU.[28] The sale was completed on July 2.[29]

The new Telemundo affiliate, branded as "Telemundo 20", launched on July 1 on KNSD's digital 39.20 subchannel. On September 12, 2017, NBCUniversal acquired KUAN-LD from NRJ TV, LLC, to serve as San Diego's Telemundo station instead;[31] the sale was completed on December 21, 2017.[32]
On December 4, 2017, NBCUniversal announced its purchase of ZGS Communications's ten Spanish-language television stations.[33] The sale was completed in early 2018.
