The station began operation in September 1987 as Univision affiliate KLUZ-TV. In 2007, it added LATV as a digital subchannel on 41.2.
2017 call sign and channel swap
On December 4, 2017, as part of a multi-market realignment, the programming and call signs of KLUZ-TV and sister station KTFQ were swapped: KLUZ-TV and its Univision programming moved to the Univision-owned facility using digital channel 22 and virtual channel 14, while Entravision's digital channel 42 and virtual channel 41 facility became the new home of UniMás affiliate KTFQ-TV.[2]
Newscasts

In 1992, KLUZ premiered a news program called Script error: No such module "Lang". (five o'clock). In 1993, KLUZ launched Albuquerque's first Spanish-language newscast, Script error: No such module "Lang".. The show was anchored by New Mexico native Bonita Ulibarrí, along with weatherman Sergio Schwartz and sportscaster Liliana Carrillo. The newscast aired Monday through Friday at 10 p.m.
In 1993, the station launched a 5 p.m. program that replaced Script error: No such module "Lang". and was anchored by Ulibarrí. Schwartz continued to do weather, but a new sportscaster, Donaldo Zepeda, was introduced. For the 10 p.m. broadcast, Ulibarrí was replaced as anchor by Susana Olivares, with Zepeda and Schwartz in the same respective roles.
On January 30, 1994, the station hired Roberto Repreza to anchor both the 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts. Ulibarrí returned to the 10 p.m. broadcast as a co-anchor. In 1996, Repreza left to go to KXLN-TV, and Ulibarrí returned to being the sole anchor.
On November 2, 2015, Entravision transferred production of KLUZ's newscasts from Albuquerque to Denver sister station KCEC.[3]

Analog-to-digital conversion
KTFQ-TV (as KLUZ-TV) shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 41, on June 12, 2009, which was the official date on which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 42, using virtual channel 41.[5]
