KXLN-DT, virtual and UHF digital channel 45, is a Univision owned-and-operated television station serving Houston, Texas, United States that is licensed to the suburb of Rosenberg. The station is owned by Univision Communications, as part of a duopoly with UniMás owned-and-operated station KFTH-DT (channel 67). The two stations share studio facilities located near the Southwest Freeway (adjacent to I-610/SH 59 Spur) on Houston's southwest side; KXLN's transmitter is located southeast of Missouri City.
Founded in 1984 by businessmen A.C. Peña and J. Adán Treviño, KXLN became the first Spanish-language television station in the Houston market when it first signed on the air on September 18, 1987. From the beginning, it has been affiliated with the Univision network. In September 1987, the station upgraded its transmitter to provide a full power signal, effectively expanding its coverage area to cover a larger portion of Southeast Texas. The station originally operated from studio facilities located along Kirby Drive, near the Astrodome.
The station was acquired by Univision outright in 1993; the company heavily invested in KXLN and made upgrades and improvements in every department. A number of reporters and anchors have been able to move on to positions for the network's news division Noticiero Univision, and several network newsmagazines.
