Univision , however , continued to maintain English language programming formats on the nine HSN affiliates and four independent stations it acquired from USA Networks for fourteen months following the completion of the purchase . Despite this , the station utilized its ties to Univision on September 11 , 2001 , when KSTR simulcast live coverage of the terror attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and The Pentagon in Arlington , Virginia as well as the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Shanksville , Pennsylvania from KUVN for several days afterward , before resuming what was left of its regular English language schedule on September 18 . On September 2 , 2001 , Channel 49 began incorporating daily , two-hour-long mini-marathons of '' The Andy Griffith Show '' and movies to fill part of its schedule for its final months as an English language station . KSTR officially converted into a Spanish language station on January 14 , 2002 , when it became an owned-and-operated station of TeleFutura , which initially launched on that date on 18 Univision-owned stations ( including eleven of KSTR 's large-market sister stations under USA Broadcasting ownership ) . The meager programming inventory that had occupied KSTR 's schedule prior to the switch was subsequently acquired by KFWD ( channel 52 , now a Sonlife Broadcasting Network affiliate ) , which itself converted into an English language independent station days earlier on January 1 , after losing its Telemundo affiliation to KXTX-TV ( channel 39 ) as a result of NBC/Telemundo 's acquisition of that station ; the local over-the-air television rights to the Mavericks were concurrently transferred to then-UPN affiliate KTXA ( channel 21 , now an independent station )
