KXOF-CD and Harlingen-based KFXV (channel 60), which serves the Rio Grande Valley to the southeast, use the same newscast called Fox News South Texas which is divided into two segments; Laredo news (originating from KXOF) and Rio Grande Valley news (originating from KFXV).

History[edit]

The station began on July 28, 1997, as K15EZ, an affiliate of Enlace, a Spanish-language religious network. It moved from channel 15 to channel 25 on June 29, 1999, as K25GN, and became an affiliate of Pax on August 6, 1999. From October 4, 1999, to March 7, 2005, the station carried the call sign KZLD-LP. Entravision bought the station on March 8, 2005, simultaneously switching the station to a Spanish-language Telefutura network as KETF-CA. In 2009, KETF-CA went off the air due to XHBR transmitting digitally on channel 25.1. In June of that year, KETF-CA applied for a permit to start transmitting digitally on channel 31.1. In January 2010, the permit was granted.^[2] The station changed its call sign to KETF-CD on January 3, 2011.
