The station commenced broadcasting in 2006. It was founded by Chester Smith of Sainte Partners II, L.P., joining sister station KUCO-LD as the only two Spanish-language stations in the North Valley until they also founded KKTF-LD. After the sale of Sainte's assets to Bonten Media Group in 2014, the new owners sold the rights of Telemundo to K4 Media Holdings and moved the station from KXVU to KNVN-DT2 channel 24.2, which is now owned by Heartland Media.
On April 21, 2017, Sinclair announced its intent to purchase the Bonten stations for $240 million. The sale was completed September 1.
