KTFV-CD
KTFV-CD, virtual and UHF digital channel 32, is a low-powered, Class A UniMás-affiliated television station licensed to McAllen, Texas, United States. Owned by Entravision Communications, it is sister to Entravision's duopoly of McAllen-licensed Univision affiliate KNVO and Harlingen-licensed Fox affiliate KFXV, as well as two other low-power stations all licensed to McAllen: KMBH-LD, channel 67 and Class A primary CW+ affiliate and secondary PBS member station KCWT-CD. Entravision also operates Mexican station XHRIO-TDT with Mexican company TVNorte. All of the stations share studios on North Jackson Road in McAllen; KTFV-CD's transmitter is located near Scissors, Texas.
In addition to its own digital signal, KTFV-CD is simulcast in widescreen standard definition on KNVO's second digital subchannel from a transmitter on Farm to Market Road 493, near Donna, Texas.

After XHRIO dropped the Fox affiliation for MundoFox, residents of the lower Rio Grande Valley had trouble receiving the new low-power Fox signal. Due to this, it was decided to add a feed of KFXV to the second subchannel of KTFV and display it as 67.1 in an attempt to reach a larger audience.
