The Rio Grande Valley was one of three markets to receive both Azteca América and the original TV Azteca channels (San Diego, El Paso and Laredo are the others). Much of KNWS-LD's programming from Azteca America could also be seen on XHOR-TV (Azteca 7) or XHMTA-TV/XHREY-TV (Azteca 13), sometimes simultaneously.
KNWS-LD was formerly known as KBDF-LP, and KAZH-LD was formerly known as KNDF-LP; the call letters were changed in 2011, after Una Vez Más acquired the former KNWS-TV in Houston and renamed it KYAZ. The KBDF and KNDF call letters both referred to XHDF-TV, one of TV Azteca's flagship stations.
Newscast
In early 2007, KBDF-LP, which was then renamed as KNWS-LP in 2011, planned to start a local newscast, which would be produced in Davenport, Iowa, by the Independent News Network. However, as of September 2007, it had not yet debuted.
