KORO, virtual channel 28 (UHF digital channel 27), is a Univision-affiliated television station licensed to Corpus Christi, Texas, United States. Owned by Entravision Communications, it is a sister station to low-power, Class A UniMás affiliate KCRP-CD (channel 41). The two stations share studios on North Mesquite Street in Downtown Corpus Christi; KORO's transmitter is located between Petronila and Robstown.

On cable, KORO is available on Charter Spectrum and Grande Communications channel 2.

History[]

KORO was founded in 1977 as a locally owned, mostly independent station airing programming from the Spanish International Network, a forerunner of Univision. The original owners included lawyers, doctors, and other professionals.

The nearly 1,000-foot-tall (300 m) tower was shared by KORO and radio station KBCB (now KRYS-FM).

KORO's call letters are pronounced in station IDs as "Kah-ORO".
