Affiliation Change
For most of its existence, the station served as an Univision affiliate but became the Univision affiliate for Los Angeles on July 1, 2006, following the defection of long-time Telemundo station KVEA to Univision.

I moved this content here for further discussion/evaluation because it is confusing. The date stated is in the future. Additionally, a check of KMEX-TV's website still shows an Univision affiliation. It's unclear what this content is trying to convey.Tobycat, 03:38 12 January 2006 (UTC)


 * That makes no sense, as KMEX-TV is owned by Univision and KVEA is owned by NBC Universal. I asked around to a couple people I know who work at both stations and it is not true in any way. -- FunkyChicken! 03:39, January 12, 2006 (UTC)


 * Univision never thought of changing affiliations, they have a partnership to ease the competition with a Telemundo affiliate. They share an agreement with Televisa of Mexico, which is up against Azteca America, KAZA channel 54 and LATV, KJLA channel 57. The L.A. area is said to have the largest Hispanic population in the continental United States, in addition to transmissions into the Palm Springs, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Bakersfield and Yuma, Az. TV markets. KMEX-TV decidedly to remain Univision instead of going independent, because KMEX is owned completely by Univision and doesn't desire to be Telemundo.+ 71.102.3.86 (talk) 16:59, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * KMEX had a translator K39DW (shut down in 2016) for the Victorville, California area, but I believe it's now on Channel 33 (formerly a TBN turned independent station KVVB moved its programs to K55CW 34). KMEX had translators on channels 26 and 48 in the San Diego area in the 1980s-90s- also were TBN affiliates, and even channel 63 (KEXV) now 40 in Palm Springs, California area. It's interesting both the US' first major city Spanish-language and Christian program TV stations had relationships with each other in Southern California in the 1960s-70s. 67.49.85.100 (talk) 00:40, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Why KMEX succeeded in TV ratings
I want to address this issue on KMEX-TV's reputation being the #1 rated television station in the Los Angeles area in any language. KMEX-TV's common cable channel in most of the L.A. area is channel 3. In the 1980s and 1990s, when television sets used VCRs at the time - one who wants to play a VHS tape have to use channel 3 to have the video play. KMEX may have a high rating more because of VCRs! However, KMEX-TV set the stage for a thriving Hispanic/Latino and other ethnic media in the US we have today. KMEX-TV has a subchannel Bounce TV for African-American viewers and rumor has it KMEX negotiates a deal with returning Urban America Television network, a 2000s television network aimed at ethnic (Latino and African-American, as well Asian and Middle Eastern) viewers. Back then, UAT had over-air stations in Fresno and San Luis Obispo, California, and was on cable in the LA and SF Bay areas. Not surprisingly, KMEX is on over-air channel 3 via K39DW-D the translator for the Mojave Desert region. Univision (formerly SIN - Spanish Independent Network) used to have an Inland Empire, California affiliate KBLM-LP channel 25 in the 1980s-early 90s, but these two regions are part of the Los Angeles area TV market. 2605:E000:FDCA:4200:83B:D708:FFFA:74BC (talk) 21:58, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
