KUVE-DT, virtual and UHF digital channel 46, is a Univision owned-and-operated television station serving Tucson, Arizona, United States, that is licensed to Green Valley. Owned by Univision Communications, the station is operated as part of a duopoly with Douglas-licensed UniMás owned-and-operated station KFTU-DT (channel 3) the station maintains transmitter facilities located atop Mount Bigelow. KUVE has one low-power Class A translator station: KUVE-CD (virtual and UHF digital channel 42), licensed to Tucson, that maintains transmitter facilities located atop the Tucson Mountains. KUVE-CD serves the northwest parts of the metropolitan area shielded from the primary station by Mount Lemmon. KUVE-DT is also rebroadcast on the second digital subchannel of KFTU-DT, which maintains transmitter facilities located on Juniper Flats Road northwest of Bisbee.
On October 31, 1988, the FCC granted a permit to Sungilt Corporation to construct a full-service television station on UHF channel 46 to serve Green Valley and surrounding area. The station at first was identified by its application ID, 830311KN, and did not receive call letters until nearly two years later, in September 1990, when it took the call letters KXGR. After twelve years, five expired construction permits and two transmitter location changes, the station applied for its license on December 21, 2000 and signed on as a Pax TV affiliate on January 5, 2001, pursuant to Program Test Authority. However, at the completion of the first day of program testing, the station's transmitter failed, and it was unable to return to the airwaves until June 1, and then, only at low power for a minimum of two hours a day. After ten days, the station was again forced to go dark, and after being threatened with license cancellation, KXGR advised the FCC on November 28, 2001 that they had resumed program testing. The station was finally licensed on June 2, 2003.
