Una Vez Más Holdings

Una Vez Más Holdings, LLC is the owner of a group of low-power television stations, mostly in the Southwest, and is the largest Azteca América affiliate group in the United States. Based in Dallas, Texas, Una Vez Más (Spanish for One More Time) owns 31 low-power television stations in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Florida, 25 of which are operational, and eleven of which are Class A television stations. Randy Nonberg is President and COO of Una Vez Mas, Terry Crosby is Chairman and CEO, and Nora Crosby is Vice-President of Operations.

On October 22, 2009; Una Vez Más has announced that it would be absorbing Johnson Broadcasting's portfolio after that broadcasting firm filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. This included KLDT in Lake Dallas, Texas and KNWS-TV in Houston, Texas.[1] The sale of these stations to Una Vez Más was approved by the bankruptcy court on December 29, 2009[2] and by the Federal Communications Commission on September 27. 2010. Una Vez Más officially took control of the two stations on December 29, 2010 and changed their affiliations to Azteca América and their call signs to KAZD and KYAZ, respectively. As a result, KAZD became the flagship of the company.

On July 28, 2011 High Plains Broadcasting announced plans to sell KFTY (now KEMO-TV) of Santa Rosa, California to Una Vez Más, with the intent to affiliate the station with Azteca América. In September 2011, the FCC approved the sale, with the station switching to Azteca América on September 29.[3] At this present time KEMO, along with KAZD and KYAH are the only three full-service, full-power television stations owned by Una Vez Más.
