KLMV-LD Channel 15.1 is a low-powered digital broadcasting television station serving the Laredo, Texas/Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico markets. It has a broadcasting power of 15 kW. KLMV is Buena Vida Broadcasting's flagship station that airs independent Spanish Christian programming 24 hours a day and distributes programming to repeater stations in South Texas.[1] The network, KLMV, and the repeaters are owned and operated by J. B. Salazar. In July 2012, KLMV started broadcasting on subchannel 15.3 a general programming channel called Televida Laredo. In late December 2012, KLMV announced that it would start broadcasting TeLe-Romántica programming on subchannel 15.2 in the first quarter of 2013. In February 2013, TeLe-Romantica programming could be seen on channel 15.2 and Vida Vision TV on 15.4. In March 2013, KLMV dropped TeLe-Romántica programming and replaced it with infomercials and switched Televida Laredo on 15.4 and Vida Vision on 15.3. In early 2014, KLMV dropped Televida Laredo programming and replaced it with color bars.
