KUVM-LD is a low-power television station in the Houston area, licensed to Freeport, Texas, owned by Mako Communications. It broadcasts in digital on UHF channel 40, displaying channel 10 to tuners via PSIP.

History

The station began in 2007 on channel 10 with the call sign K10PY-D.[1] The station converted to digital transmission in October 2009, initially running a simulcast of KHLM until that station obtained a digital signal of its own, and later replacing it with the Azteca América programming of former analog station KUVM-CA, and changing its call sign to KUVM-LD on October 9, 2009.[1] The station's signal moved to channel 40 from the Missouri City tower farm on July 24, 2010.

On April 25, 2010, Azteca América programming began airing on a subchannel of KNWS, which Una Vez Más had contracted to buy. KUVM-LD dropped Azteca América from channel 10.4 on January 25, 2011.

Citing interference from KUBE-TV, the station applied on November 5, 2010 to move its physical channel from 40 to 14.[2] That application was denied, and the station filed to move to channel 18 in January 2012,[3] and also filed to move to channel 22 in February 2012.[4] The application to move to channel 22 was granted May 29, 2012,[5] and the station finalized that move in October 2012.

In June 2013, KUVM-LD was sold to Landover 5 LLC as part of a larger deal involving 51 other low-power television stations.[6]
