KEUV-LD is a low-power television station in Eureka, California, United States, affiliated with the Spanish-language network Univision. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside low-power dual CW+/MyNetworkTV affiliate KECA-LD and Arcata-licensed ABC affiliate KAEF-TV. Sinclair also operates Eureka-licensed KBVU under a local [marketing agreement] with Cunningham Broadcasting; however, Sinclair effectively owns KBVU as the majority of Cunningham's stock is owned by the family of deceased group founder Julian Smith. The four stations share studios on Sixth Street in downtown Eureka; KEUV-LD's transmitter is located along Barry Road southeast of Eureka.
Although identifying as a separate station in its own right, KEUV-LD is considered a semi-satellite of KUCO-LD in Chico. It simulcasts all Univision network programming as provided by its parent but airs different commercials and station identifications. Master control operations are based at the facilities of sister station and ABC affiliate KRCR-TV on Auditorium Drive in Redding.
