History
The station's history traces back to 2008, when KGNS launched a third digital subchannel, affiliated with Telemundo. The station went on the air on July 12, 2011, as K10QK-D, owned by SagamoreHill Broadcasting and simulcasting KGNS-TV's third subchannel. It was sold to Gray Television on December 31, 2013, along with KGNS-TV. On October 4, 2018, the station's call sign was changed to KXNU-LD.
Newscasts
Newscasts on the station have existed since 2010, having branded as Telenoticias Laredo ever since then. In 2015, the newscasts switched to a set of Gray Television graphics and the "Telemundo News" theme from Cacharros Musik. On April 2, 2019, KXNU debuted a 4:30 p.m. newscast titled Telenoticias Laredo Primera Edición, making it the first station in the Laredo market to launch a 4:30 p.m. newscast. On September 7, 2020, the newscasts switched to a newer set of Gray Television graphics and both "U-Phonix" and "Third Coast" from Stephen Arnold Music. KXNU also produces a midday newscast, Telemundo en tu casa, which airs at 11 a.m. Unlike most Telemundo affiliates in smaller markets and owned by Gray Television, KXNU also airs weekend newscasts at 5 p.m. and 10 p.m.
On October 10, 2022, KXNU started airing a statewide morning newscast, Noticias Telemundo Texas, which aired from 5 to 7 a.m. on weekdays.[2] The program was produced out of KXTX-TV's studios in Fort Worth. On November 1, 2024, Noticias Telemundo Texas was discontinued.
