WUMN-LD (channel 21) is a low-power television station licensed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, serving the Twin Cities area as an affiliate of the Spanish-language network Univision.

History
The station began operating in 1985 as K13UT, an affiliate of The Box, a pay per view music video channel. Following the shutdown of The Box, K13UT began carrying MTV2.
In January 2005, after Equity Media Holdings's purchase of channel 13, the station was re-called WUMN-LP, to reflect its new Univision affiliation.[1] Under Equity ownership, all of the station's operations were controlled from Equity's hub in Little Rock, Arkansas, with only engineering staff in the area and no local programming outside of some reporters contributing local stories to a newscast anchored from the Little Rock hub by Independent Network News.
