KTMD, virtual channel 47 (UHF digital channel 22), is a Telemundo owned-and-operated television station serving Houston, Texas, United States that is licensed to Galveston. The station is owned by the NBC Owned Television Stations subsidiary of NBCUniversal (which itself is a subsidiary of Comcast). KTMD's studios are located on I-610 and Bevis Street on Houston's northwest side. The station's transmitter is located near Missouri City, in unincorporated northeastern Fort Bend County.
History[edit | edit source]
The station first signed on the air on February 1, 1988, broadcasting on UHF channel 48 from a transmitter located east of Farm to Market Road 528 south of Friendswood. It has been aligned with Telemundo since its sign-on, as the network began acquiring and affiliating with television stations in several key Spanish-language markets.
In 2002, KTMD was granted permission to move its analog signal to channel 47 in order to operate its digital signal on channel 48, which would operate from a transmitter located in Missouri City rather than Friendswood. The station also cited interference from a station in Bryan for its reasoning to change its channel allocation. KTMD officially moved to channel 47 on November 9, 2002.
