PUVN-DT

PUVN-DT "Univision 42 Kanto" is a Univision O&O station serving the Kanto Region, located in Tokyo City. Launched in 1979, it is the first Spanish TV station of the main Pokemon nation.

History
PUVN-DT went on air beginning on March 23rd, 1979 under the call sign, PKXQ-TV as Kanto region's first Spanish station. It was originally operated by EBC (Now PBC) as they had rights showing programs from SIN (Spanish International Network, the precursor to Univision), later took over by Univision themselves in 1987. When first broadcast, they used the national feed of SIN, but later in 1983, began airing local programming. PKXQ-TV's call sign was changed to PKUV-TV on January 1st, 1990 the same day the new Univision logo was put on full use. PKUV-DT began HD programming in 2009. The call sign was changed again on January 1st, 2013 as PUVN-DT.

News Operation
PUVN-DT did not aired news until 1983 when it aired a tape delayed feed of Noticiero Nacional SIN. Local news began in September of 1984 airing from Monday to Friday at 6pm. Later on they expanded newscast to 11pm in 1990 along with a 15 minute news program on the weekends, "Noticias en 15 Minutos". In 1992, PKUV decided to leave out the taped delayed feed of Noticiero Univision and instead expand newscast to an hour with local news on the first half and national news on the second half. This practice would be in use until 1997 when Univision began airing Noticiero Univision for the Pokemon Nation.

PUVN-DT presently broadcasts 17 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 3 hours on weekdays, and 1 hour each on Saturdays and Sundays); In addition, the station produces a 15-minute sports highlight program called Action Deportiva Extra, that airs on Sunday evenings at 11:15 p.m. On August 3rd, 2009, they began news programming in High Definition.
