KXNU-CD (channel 10) is a low-power, Class A television station in Laredo, Texas, United States, affiliated with the Spanish-language network Telemundo. It is owned by Gray Media alongside dual NBC/ABC affiliate KGNS-TV (channel 8) and dual CBS/CW+ affiliate KYLX-CD (channel 13). The three stations share studios on Loop 20 (near SH 359) in Laredo and transmitter facilities on FM 1472 northwest of the city.

History

The station's history traces back to 2008, when KGNS launched a third digital subchannel, affiliated with Telemundo. The station went on the air on July 12, 2011, as K10QK-D, owned by SagamoreHill Broadcasting and simulcasting KGNS-TV's third subchannel. It was sold to Gray Television on December 31, 2013, along with KGNS-TV. On October 4, 2018, the station's call sign was changed to KXNU-LD.

Newscasts

Newscasts on the station have existed since 2010, having branded as Telenoticias Laredo ever since then. In 2015, the newscasts switched to a set of Gray Television graphics and the "Telemundo News" theme from Cacharros Musik. On April 2, 2019, KXNU debuted a 4:30 p.m. newscast titled {[lang|es|Telenoticias Laredo Primera Edición}}, making it the first station in the Laredo market to launch a 4:30 p.m. newscast. On September 7, 2020, the newscasts switched to a newer set of Gray Television graphics and both "U-Phonix" and "Third Coast" from Stephen Arnold Music. KXNU also produces a midday newscast, Telemundo en tu casa, which airs at 11 a.m. Unlike most Telemundo affiliates in smaller markets and owned by Gray Television, KXNU also airs weekend newscasts at 5 p.m. and 10 p.m.

On October 10, 2022, KXNU started airing a statewide morning newscast, Noticias Telemundo Texas, which aired from 5 to 7 a.m. on weekdays. ^[2] The program was produced out of KXTX-TV's studios in Fort Worth. On November 1, 2024, Noticias Telemundo Texas was discontinued.
