KTLO-LD
A low-power Spanish-language television station serving Colorado Springs as a Telemundo affiliate.
Last updated August 31, 2026
Overview
KTLO-LD is a low-power television station serving Colorado Springs, Colorado, in the United States. The station is affiliated with Telemundo, the Spanish-language television network, and provides Spanish-language network programming and related local-market access for viewers in the Colorado Springs area. Its low-power classification limits the direct over-the-air reach of its primary broadcast signal to the immediate vicinity of the city, making the station more localized than a full-power market outlet. The station is owned by the News-Press & Gazette Company, a media group that also owns Colorado Springs ABC affiliate KRDO-TV and the associated KRDO radio stations. KTLO-LD, KRDO-TV, KRDO, and KRDO-FM share studio facilities on South 8th Street in Colorado Springs. This shared operating structure places the Telemundo outlet within a broader local news and broadcasting organization while preserving its Spanish-language network identity. To extend its availability across the wider Colorado Springs television market, KTLO-LD is simulcast in high definition on KRDO-TV's second digital subchannel. The simulcast is carried as channel 13.2 and is transmitted from KRDO-TV's facility on Cheyenne Mountain. This arrangement gives viewers beyond the low-power station's immediate signal area access to the Telemundo service through a full-power television signal. KTLO-LD's principal offering is television programming rather than a standalone consumer product line. Its role is to distribute Telemundo programming and serve Spanish-speaking audiences in and around Colorado Springs. Publicly available reference material does not establish a founding year, founding personnel, detailed executive roster, or a separate corporate website for the station beyond its KRDO-hosted Telemundo page.
History
KTLO-LD operates as a low-power television station in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with a Spanish-language Telemundo affiliation. The available reference material does not provide a verified launch date, original call sign history, or details about the station's initial ownership. Its documented identity is therefore best understood through its current operating role rather than through a fully recorded institutional chronology. The station is part of the News-Press & Gazette Company broadcasting portfolio. In Colorado Springs, the company also owns KRDO-TV, an ABC affiliate, as well as KRDO radio and KRDO-FM. These outlets share studios on South 8th Street, creating a common local broadcasting base for the group. KTLO-LD's association with KRDO-TV is especially significant because the two television services use complementary distribution arrangements: KTLO-LD supplies the local Telemundo outlet, while KRDO-TV provides the full-power infrastructure used to broaden its market reach. As a low-power station, KTLO-LD's primary transmitter covers only the immediate Colorado Springs area. To make the Telemundo service available throughout the broader television market, the station is also carried in 720p high definition on KRDO-TV's second digital subchannel. That simulcast appears as channel 13.2 and is transmitted from Cheyenne Mountain. The arrangement allows the station to retain its own call sign and network identity while benefiting from the greater coverage of a full-power partner signal. KTLO-LD's business function is distribution of television content. Its core service consists of Telemundo's Spanish-language programming, delivered through the station's low-power signal and the KRDO-TV digital simulcast. No separately documented product portfolio, major advertising campaign, corporate transaction, executive roster, scandal, or financial disclosure is identified in the supplied reference material. The station's present significance lies in its role as a local Spanish-language broadcast outlet within the Colorado Springs media market.
