KXNU-LD (channel 10) is a low-power television station in Laredo, Texas, United States, affiliated with the Spanish-language network Telemundo. It is owned by Gray Television alongside dual NBC/ABC affiliate KGNS-TV (channel 8) and dual CBS/CW+ affiliate KYLX-LD (channel 13). The three stations share studios on Loop 20 (near SH 359) in Laredo; KXNU-LD's transmitter is located on Shea Street north of downtown.

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.
