Univision buys low-power Austin station KXLK-CD for $2.55 million

Univision has struck a deal to buy KXLK-CD in Austin from Radio Spectrum Partners LP for $2,550,000.

The station (virtual channel 40, UHF digital channel 23) currently airs Spanish-language music videos and is not available on cable or satellite providers.

Univision is buying the low-power class A station for a $750,000 more than its previous sale price of $1.8 million in 2015, when Radio Spectrum bought it from Abraham Telecasting Co. LLC.

Univision already owns two TV stations in Austin: KAKW-DT Univision 62 and KTFO-CD Unimás Austin (virtual channel 31; UHF digital channel 36).

The station was previously an affiliate of African-American religious The Word Network and before that, was the Home Shopping Network affiliate.

A little additional trivia: KXLK-CD was formerly owned by Pappas Telecasting.
