Profile CDBS |
KCRP-CD, virtual and UHF digital channel 41, is a low-power, Class A UniMás-affiliated television station licensed to Corpus Christi, Texas, United States. The station is owned by Entravision Communications, and is sister to Univision affiliate KORO (channel 28). The two stations share studios on North Mesquite Street in Downtown Corpus Christi; KCRP-CD's transmitter is located atop the 600 Leopard Street building.
Due to KCRP-CD's low-power status, the station is simulcast on KORO's second digital subchannel to expand its broadcasting radius. This signal can be seen on virtual channel 28.2 (UHF channel 27.2) from a transmitter located between Petronila and Robstown.
History
The station was founded on July 31, 1986 under call sign K22BH, showing music videos. In 1995, the station joined The WB upon the network's launch, then in 1998, the station dropped WB programming and became an independent station. On May 8, 2000, it changed the call sign to K41FO. On June 14, 2001, it became KCRP-LP and then became KCRP-CA on November 13, 2001. In 2002, the station joined TeleFutura; after TeleFutura became UniMás in 2013, the station became an affiliate of the new network. On June 3, 2015, the station was licensed for digital operation and changed the call sign to the current KCRP-CD.
