KVAW

KVAW, virtual channel 24 , is a television station licensed to Eagle Pass, Texas, United States. Founded June 29, 1989, the station is owned by the NRT Communications Group, the American arm of Núcleo Radio y Televisión, which owns media assets in the Mexican state of Coahuila. KVAW formerly carried programming from Telemundo, HTVN as an owned-and-operated station, and later from Mas Musica, the predecessor of the station's latest network, Tr3́s, and Multimedios Televisión.

The Federal Communications Commission granted to Juan Wheeler, Jr., a permit on June 29, 1989 to construct a new television station that would serve Eagle Pass on UHF channel 16. The station signed on June 15, 1991; Wheeler applied for a license for the station on June 14, 1991, which was not granted until January 1996. During this time, KVAW operated as a Telemundo affiliate serving the immediate Eagle Pass/Piedras Negras area, including local news. In 1996, with Wheeler eyeing coverage in San Antonio where a Telemundo station already existed, he changed the program source to SUR and began simulcasting on an LPTV station, K52EA . The station's nonexistent signal in San Antonio, however, hampered efforts to force San Antonio's cable systems to carry it.
