KWHD Switching From Christian to HispanicFebruary 3, 2010
DENVER: KWHD-TV, a Christian-formatted TV channel for 18
years, will become the Mile-High City’s fourth Spanish-language broadcaster.
Denver is the nation’s 15 largest Latino TV market, according to The Denver Post. The format-switch comes
as a result of KWHD’s sale to Liberman Broadcasting, which will change it to an
affiliate of its Estrella TV network, possibly in the second quarter of this
year. KWHD would make Liberman’s eighth owned-and-operated Estrella station.
Privately owned Liberman, based in Burbank, Calif., launched Estrella last
September and is now carried in 24 U.S. markets. Liberman picked up KWHD from
LeSea Broadcasting for a reported $6.5 million, according to TVNewsCheck.
It goes up against Univision, Telefutura and Telemundo among the high-power,
Spanish-language affiliates serving Denver.
