KFTH-DT (channel 67) is a television station licensed to Alvin, Texas, United States, serving as the Houston-area outlet for the Spanish-language network UniMás. It is owned and operated by TelevisaUnivision alongside Rosenberg-licensed Univision station KXLN-DT (channel 45). The two stations share studios near the Southwest Freeway (adjacent to the I-610/I-69 interchange) on Houston's southwest side; KFTH's transmitter is located near Missouri City, in unincorporated northeastern Fort Bend County. KFTH's main subchannel is also broadcast by KXLN-DT from its transmitter.
Channel 67 was put on the air by Four Star Broadcasting as KTHT, greater Houston's fourth independent station, on January 27, 1986. Its owners sold it to the Home Shopping Network later that year, and it broadcast home shopping programming from November 1986 to January 2002 as KHSH. Univision acquired the group of former HSN-owned stations, USA Broadcasting, and used it to launch Telefutura in January 2002.
History
