History
An original construction permit for a low-power television station on channel 14 was granted to K. Sandoval Burke, one of the two co-owners of Hispanic Broadcasters of Tucson, on February 28, 1989. The station, K14HR "KHR-TV", signed on April 1 as Tucson's first Telemundo affiliate and first locally programmed Spanish-language station.[2] The station was profitable within eight months, ahead of projections.[3] Hispanic Broadcasters, owned by Burke and Jay S. Zucker, also owned the low-power Telemundo station in Phoenix, K64DR.
In 1991, Jay Zucker purchased the license of silent KPOL (channel 40) out of bankruptcy for $45,000.[4]
