KCEC (channel 14) is atelevision station licensed toBoulder, Colorado, United States, broadcasting the Spanish-languageUnivision network to theDenver area.Owned byTelevisaUnivision, it is operated under alocal marketing agreement (LMA) byEntravision Communications as a sister station toUniMás affiliateKTFD-TV (channel 50). The two stations share studios onMile High Stadium West Circle inJefferson Park, Denver; KCEC's transmitter is located atopMount Morrison in westernJefferson County.
KVSN-DT (channel 48) inPueblo operates as asemi-satellite of KCEC, expanding the Univision signal intoSouth-Central Colorado. As such, itsimulcasts all Univision programming as provided through its parent, and the two stations share a website. However, KVSN airs separate commercial inserts andlegal identifications. Local newscasts, produced by KCEC and branded asNoticias Univision Colorado, are simulcast on both stations. KVSN does not maintain any facilities in Pueblo orColorado Springs;master control and internal operations are based at KCEC's studios.
The station first signed on the air on February 22, 1996, as KTVJ. Founded byRoberts Broadcasting, it originally aired programming from theHome Shopping Network. In January 2003, Roberts sold the station to Univision Communications. Two months later on March 10, 2003, the station changed its call sign to KTFD-TV (which was modified to KTFD-DT on June 23, 2009, in correspondence with the callsign modifications to the "-DT" suffix applied by all Univision-owned stations following thedigital television transition), and became an owned-and-operated station of Univision's secondary network TeleFutura.
On December 4, 2017, as part of a multi-market realignment, the programming and call signs of KTFD and sister station KCEC were swapped: KTFD and its UniMás programming moved to the Entravision-owned facility using digital channel 26 and virtual channel 50, while Univision's digital channel 15 and virtual channel 14 facility became the new home of KCEC.[2]

KCEC (as KTFD-TV) shut down its analog signal, overUHF channel 14, on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full-power television 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 15,[4] usingvirtual channel 14.
On April 29, 2020, KCEC completed the migration from digital channel 15 to channel 32 as part of the FCC spectrum auction repack.
KTFD's signal was formerly relayed onlow-poweranalogtranslator station KDVT-LP (channel 36) in Denver, which was owned by Entravision Communications. The translator was never converted to digital, and its license was canceled on September 13, 2017.[5]
