KINT-TV
KINT-TV is a television station in El Paso, Texas, United States, affiliated with the Spanish-language network Univision. It is owned by Entravision Communications alongside UniMás affiliate KTFN. The two stations share studios on North Mesa Street/Highway 20 in northwest El Paso; KINT-TV's transmitter is located atop the Franklin Mountains on the El Paso city limits.
History
The station first signed on the air on May 5, 1984; it was founded by a consortium of local businessmen including Larry Daniels, and owner of KINT radio and Jose Angel Silva Sr., owner of a grocery store in downtown El Paso. The consortium originally planned to use KEHB-TV as the station's call letters, but it was changed to KINT prior to sign on. For many years, it was the only Spanish-language television station in the El Paso market.El Paso is divided by a prominent natural ridge, the "New 4 site", Channel 0, and ch. 14. In founding the station, Daniels worked out a partnership between KDBC-TV and Larry Gallatin's two-way company. A new self-supporting tower was put up, with channel 4 at its top, channel 26's being side-mounted, on a tower that was long vacant and two-way space at the bottom.
News operation
KINT-TV presently broadcasts 12 hours of locally produced newscasts each week. Newscasts for the Midland–Odessa and San Angelo markets are broadcast live from KINT's studios.Technical information

On March 16, 2010, KINT's main channel was upgraded to 1080i high definition in order to allow the carriage of Univision programming produced in the format. The station also added a second digital subchannel, carrying a simulcast of sister station KTFN. On December 3, 2010, the KTFN simulcast was replaced with LATV on KINT subchannel 26.2 and KTFN digital channel 65.2. The following week, the SD simulcast of KTFN was restored on the second subchannels of both stations, with LATV being moved to digital subchannels 26.3 and 65.3. For a brief period prior to the digital television transition, the station's second digital subchannel falsely identified itself as "KINT-HD", while it was still only available in 480i standard definition. As of June 12, they have corrected the problem.
