History
TuVisión began operations on July 1, 2007, after Pappas dropped the
Azteca America network from the Spanish-language stations that Pappas
owned. The only exception was Los Angeles'
KAZA-TV, which retained the network until its 2018 sale to
Weigel Broadcasting; Pappas was under contract to carry Azteca América through December 2012 and its later bankruptcy effectively kept the affiliation after 2012 on creditor's orders.
