KUVN-DT, virtual and UHF digital channel 23, is a Univision owned-and-operated television station serving the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex that is licensed to Garland, Texas, United States. The station is owned by Univision Communications, as part of a duopoly with UniMás owned-and-operated station KSTR-DT (channel 49). The two stations share studio facilities located on Bryan Street in downtown Dallas; KUVN maintains transmitter facilities located south of Belt Line Road in Cedar Hill. The station's signal is relayed on Class A low-power station KUVN-CD (channel 47) in Fort Worth.
The UHF channel 23 allocation in the Dallas-Fort Worth market had originally been allocated for KDTX. Lakewood Broadcasting (owned by a coalition of local oilmen), who later signed on KGKO (1480 AM, now KBXD) in January 1953, was issued a construction permit to sign on the station in 1952; the station was never built, and the permit was deleted by the Federal Communications Commission in 1955.
