KUVN-TV, Channel 23, is the Univision owned and operated station in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area. It transmits from Cedar Hill. KUVN shares the Univision 23 moniker with WLTV in Miami/Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

History

Channel 23 had previously been the home of educational television station KRET-TV in nearby Richardson from 1960-1970. But signed off due to lack of funds. The license was turned over to the FCC at that time.

The current channel 23 license signed on in September 1986 as KIAB with English speaking religious shows in the morning, Spanish programming from S.I.N. (which became Univision the next year) in the afternoon and evening, and shop at home programming on the overnights before it was sold to Univision in 1988.

At that point, the station began running Univision programming 24 hours a day, with some local Spanish speaking newscasts as well.
