KODF-LP is a Azteca América affiliate for the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex, licensed in Britton, Texas, owned and operated by Una Vez Mas Holdings, LLC, under license of Mako Communications. Unlike many low-powered stations, it is seen on Time Warner Cable (which replaced Comcast Cable in Early August 2006) on Channel 21 in the Dallas area and Charter Cable on channel 23 in the Fort Worth area, in addition to its low-power signal, as well as DirecTV. It's not yet available on Verizon FiOS or USDTV.

The station began its broadcasting activities in 2003 as an America's Store affiliate with callsign K67BL. Shortly, the station moved its broadcasts to channel 26 and was rebranded K26HF. On December 23, 2003, the station switched formats to Spanish-language programming as it was affiliated with Azteca América. During that time, the station was rebranded KODF from TV Azteca's flagship station XHDF (meaning Distrito Federal).

[edit] Newscast

In January 2007, KODF will start airing several 90-second newsbriefs on weekdays, which will be produced by local CBS affiliate KTVT. [1] The end of the newscast taglines read " Una Vez Mas Holdings, LLC."

[edit] KLEG-LP

KODF-LP has now acquired KLEG-LP as its repeater station to viewers who are North and east outside of the original KODF Coverage area

This station was first established in 1996 as K19BW on channel 19 with Spanish programs, movies, and sports. Then on February 1999, the station was airing news from CBS Telenoticias (now Telemundo Internacional), thus making it a 24-hour TV station, compared to the daily 8AM-12AM programming limit. By September 1999, K19BW was moved to channel 44 to make way for KTVT's Digital signal, thus the station was rebranded K44FO. By November 2000, K44FO dropped the CBS Telenoticias affiliate in favor of the Spanish independent programming. By March 15, 2001, the station is once again rebranded to KLEG and two months later, it has picked up the Mas Musica network, only temporarily. Then the network was picked up by K57IG (now KSEX-LP).

KLEG is owned and operated by Dilip Viswanath (Managed by Mako Communications LLC).

On February 19, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KODF-LP and KLEG-LP will be required to turn off their analog signals and turn on their digital signals (called a "flash-cut").
