KVAT-LD, digital channel 17, is a low-power television station licensed to Garfield, Texas (Austin market). The station is owned by HC2 Holdings.[1]

The station was originally an affiliate of LAT TV, a Houston-based Spanish-language television network that launched in May 2006; however, the network folded 2 years later.

In December 2010, the station's call letters changed from KVAT-LP to KVAT-LD.

In June 2013, KVAT-LD was slated to be sold to Landover 5 LLC as part of a larger deal involving 51 other low-power television stations;[2] the sale fell through in June 2016.[3] Mako Communications sold its stations, including KVAT-LD, to HC2 Holdings in 2017.[4]

Satellite provider DirecTV has yet to carry this station as the Austin markets Azteca affiliate. It continues to carry KAZD from Dallas instead.
