Effective today, KTLM becomes the 17th Spanish-language station in the Telemundo Station Group division of NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations.
Known as Telemundo 40, it serves the Rio Grande Valley located in the southernmost tip of South Texas.
The station currently produces a 5 and 10 pm local newscast 7 days a week, in addition to a daily weekday entertainment show.
According to the company, this acquisition is the latest in a series of investments NBCUniversal has made to serve viewers and strengthen Telemundo stations across the division.
NBCU acquired Philadelphia affiliate, WWSI-TV (Channel 49), from ZGS Communications in 2013.
