KRNS-CD is a low-power Class A digital television station in Reno, Nevada, broadcasting locally in high definition (1080i) on UHF channel 46 and affiliated with The CW Television Network via The CW Plus. Founded June 14, 1988, the station is owned by Entravision Communications. KRNS and its Univision/CW sister station, KREN-TV, are housed in a 8,500 sq ft (790 m2) glass-walled facility at the Meadowood Mall in south Reno.
Due to its low-power Class A digital status, it is rebroadcast in standard definition on KREN-TV's second digital subchannel (virtual channel 27.2) to expand the station's reach.
The station began with an original construction permit granted on June 14, 1988 to Que Television Production Inc. 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. Initial programming for the station is unknown.
Less than one month after licensing, Pappas Telecasting acquired the station, eventually making it a Univision affiliate. 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.
