KINT-TV, virtual channel 26 (UHF digital channel 25), is a Univision-affiliated television station located in El Paso, Texas, United States. The station is owned by the Entravision Communications Corporation, as part of a duopoly with UniMás affiliate KTFN (channel 65). The two stations share studio facilities located on North Mesa Street/Highway 20 in northwest El Paso, and its transmitter is located atop the Franklin Mountains on the El Paso city limits. On cable, the station is available on Spectrum channel 2 and in high definition on digital channel 885.
The station first signed on the air on May 5, 1984; it was founded by a consortium of local businessmen including Larry Daniels (former manager of KROD-TV (channel 4, now KDBC-TV), and owner of KINT radio (1590 AM, now KELP and 97.5 FM, now at 93.9) as well as other businesses) and Jose Angel Silva Sr., owner of a grocery store in downtown El Paso. The consortium originally planned to assign KEHB-TV as the station's call letters, but it was changed to KINT (standing for "K-Internacional") prior to sign on. For many years, it was the only Spanish language television station in the El Paso market.
