KVEO-TV is the NBC affiliate television station for Brownsville, Texas, and serves the entire surrounding metropolitan area, known as the Rio Grande Valley. The station is owned by Nexstar Media Group.
It broadcasts with a digital signal on UHF channel 24. It airs on Time Warner Cable systems as cable 8 in standard definition and 860 in high definition. It is operated out of its studios located on North Expressway (Interstate 69E/US Highway 77/US Highway 83) in Brownsville. KVEO is also available on channel 23 in both standard definition and high definition on DirecTV and Dish Network .
KVEO signed on in December 1981. Before then, the area had been one of the few in the country without a full-time NBC affiliate; the area's original NBC affiliate, Weslaco's KRGV-TV, had become a full-time ABC affiliate in 1976. In the interim, CBS affiliate KGBT-TV carried NBC programming on a secondary basis. KVEO added a secondary affiliation with UPN in 1996, replacing previous secondary affiliate KRGV-TV; in 1999, the station lost UPN to XHRIO-TV in Matamoros.
KVEO has been broadcasting a DTV signal since 2005.
The KVEO subchannels can be picked up on basic cable by connecting the cable directly into an HDTV with a built-in QAM tuner.
On April 24, 2013, Communications Corporation of America announced the sale of its entire group (including KVEO) to the Nexstar Broadcasting Group. The sale was completed on January 1, 2015.
