TeleFutura announced that it has completed its acquisition of full-power television station KFTL in the Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto DMA from Family Stations Inc. The addition of KFTL, which will become KTFK immediately, expands the number of TeleFutura Television Group’s owned-and-operated stations to 31 nationwide and compliments the full-power Univision Television Network station currently serving the Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto DMA. KTFK will begin transmitting at 6:00 pm PT today. TeleFutura currently reaches 79% of Hispanic television households nationwide.

“TeleFutura has been a great success in all of the local markets where it has been launched, and we fully expect that KTFK will allow us to better serve the region’s thriving Hispanic community,” said Diego Ruiz, KTFK General Manager and General Manager of Sacramento Univision station KUVS. “We look forward to establishing a greater local presence by increasing our community involvement and providing TeleFutura’s culturally-relevant programming to the local Hispanic community.”
