Public license information

KTFO-CD (channel 31) is a low-power, Class A television station in Austin, Texas, United States, serving as the local outlet for the Spanish-language network UniMás. It is owned and operated by TelevisaUnivision alongside Killeen-licensed Univision outlet KAKW-DT (channel 62). The two stations share studios on North Loop Boulevard in Austin; KTFO-CD's transmitter is located at the West Austin Antenna Farm north of West Lake Hills.

Although KTFO-CD identifies as a separate station in its own right, it is officially licensed as a translator of KAKW-DT. In addition to its own digital signal, KTFO-CD is simulcast in high definition on KAKW-DT's second digital subchannel (62.2) from a transmitter in unincorporated Williamson County (approximately halfway between Austin and Killeen). KAKW-DT, in turn, is simulcast on KTFO-CD's second digital subchannel.

History

The station first signed on the air on March 28, 1988, as K30CE, broadcasting on UHF channel 30. In 2001, the station changed its call letters to K31FM, and relocated to channel 31. In 2002, the station's calls changed again to KDAS-CA, and became a repeater of KAKW-TV in Killeen, after that station switched its affiliation to Univision. It later changed its call letters to KAKW-CA in 2005, and then to KTFO-CA in 2007. In 2009, the station was relaunched with as a separate outlet from KAKW and affiliated with Telefutura (now UniMás). In 2010, the station converted to a digital signal and modified its callsign to KTFO-CD.
