History

The station began with an original construction permit granted on June 14, 1988 to Que Television Production Inc. Events 1276 - While taking exile in Fuzhou in southern China, away from the advancing Mongol invaders, the remnants of the Year 1988 ( MCMLXXXVIII) was a Leap year starting on Friday (link displays 1988 Gregorian calendar) to build low-power television station K47CO to serve the Reno area. Shortly after getting the permit, Que Television Production sold the station to K-Fun Television Inc. After several extensions of the construction permit, K-Fun Television sold the station to Kidd Communications. There were more extensions of the permit, but Kidd Communications completed the construction, and the station was granted its initial license on July 12, 1995. Events 1191 - Saladin 's garrison surrenders ending the two-year Siege of Acre. Year 1995 ( MCMXCV) was a Common year starting on Sunday. Events of 1995 Initial programming for the station is unknown.

Less than one month after licensing, Pappas Telecasting acquired the station, eventually making it a Univision affiliate. Univision is a Spanish-language television network in the United States and Puerto Rico. In December 1996, the FCC granted Pappas Telecasting a permit to move the station to UHF channel 68. Callsign K68HO was reserved for the station to take effect upon licensing, but the calls were never used. Instead, the station took the call letters KUVR-LP in February 1998, reflecting their status as the Univision station for Reno. KUVR-LP moved to channel 68 in April 1999.

In November 2001, Pappas Telecasting dropped the Univision network for a fledgling Spanish-language network starting up in the US, controlled in part by Pappas. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the The new network was called Azteca America and was an offshoot of the Mexican broadcaster TV Azteca. Azteca América is a broadcast television network marketed toward Spanish-speaking families residing in the United States TV Azteca is the second largest Mexican Television network. It was established in 1983 as the state-owned Instituto Mexicano de la Televisión Pappas also obtained a Class A license for KUVR-LP, granted March 25, 2002, giving the station a measure of protection during the switchover to digital television that was beginning. Events 1199 - Richard I is wounded by a crossbow bolt while fighting France which leads to his death on April 6. See also 2002 (disambiguation Year 2002 ( MMII) was a Common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. The station changed call letters once again, this time to KUVR-CA. Later in the year, the station was granted a license to operate channel 68, but couldn't stay there, since their new status as a Class A station required them to be within the "core spectrum", i. e. , channels 2 - 51. They requested and were granted permission to move to UHF channel 46 in January 2003 and was licensed on channel 46 in December 5, 2005. Events 63 BC - Cicero reads the last of his Catiline Orations.

In the midst of the move, the station changed call letters once again, this time to KAZR-CA to reflect their Azteca affiliation.

Pappas Telecasting has terminated KAZR's affiliation agreement with Azteca America effective July 1, 2007; by this time, Pappas had divested their share in Azteca America. ^[1] After that date, KAZR officially became a part of Pappas' independent Spanish language network, TuVision. TuVisión is an American Spanish-language broadcasting network which is owned by Pappas Telecasting. ^[2]

Programming

As a Class A station, KAZR-CA is required to air a certain amount of locally-produced programming. The station once fulfilled that requirement with a daily 30-minute local newscast at 6:00 PM. The newscast was repeated at 11:00 PM and 1:00 AM and was the only local Spanish-language newscast in northern Nevada. Nevada ( is a state located in the western region of the United States of America. The program was also the first Spanish local newscast in high definition in the United States, with the Reno market featuring two other high definition newscasts. ^[3].

The newscast was canceled on March 11, 2008, when KAZR's news department (which was shared with sister station KREN-TV) was closed due to poor advertising revenues.

They're not taking in the needs of the Hispanic community, and they're suppose to be the Hispanic station. " Some of the dismissed staffers have planned to take legal action against the station. ^[4]
