KWEX-DT, virtual and UHF digital channel 41, is a Univision owned-and-operated television station located in San Antonio, Texas, United States. The station is owned by Univision Communications, as part of a duopoly with UniMás owned-and-operated station KNIC-DT (channel 17). The two stations share studio facilities located on Network Boulevard in Northwest San Antonio. KWEX operates a secondary studio facility located at the Texas A&M–San Antonio Educational and Cultural Arts Center on South Santa Rosa in downtown San Antonio; and its transmitter is located off of Route 181 in northwest Wilson County (northeast of Elmendorf).
The station first signed on the air on June 10, 1955 as KCOR-TV (the callsign was taken from its radio sister station KCOR (1350 AM), which itself was named for Raoul Cortez, the owner and pioneer of the first full-time Spanish-language radio and television stations in the United States by the Radio Corporation of America (RCA). KCOR-TV was also the first Spanish-language commercial television station in the U.S., as well as the first television station in south Texas to broadcast on the UHF band. The station originally operated from studio facilities located on Network Boulevard (southwest of the present-day I-10) on the city's northwest side.
