History

Channel 48 had simulcasted programming from Univision affiliate KLUZ-TV for many years. In January 2002, it became an affiliate of a new Spanish-language network called Telefutura. By June 2003, Telefutura moved to then-Pax TV affiliate KTFQ-TV (channel 14). KTFA became an HSN affiliate later that year.

Entravision surrendered the license for KTFA-LP to the Federal Communications Commission on January 12, 2018, and it was cancelled on January 17.

Digital television

KTFA was granted a construction permit to flash cut to digital broadcasting on April 19, 2012. It was to expire on September 1, 2015, which was the deadline for low-powered television stations to switch to digital operations. It would have broadcast from its transmitter site atop Sandia Crest at the class maximum power of 15 kW.
