MDTV-DT

(channel 14) is a television station licensed to Toad Harbor, Mushroom Kingdom, serving as the Toad Harbor-area outlet for the Spanish-language network Univision. It is owned and operated by TelevisaUnivision alongside UniMás outlet MFTH-DT (channel 66).
==History==
The Bahía de Puerto Toad Television Company, owned by principals of the Spanish International Network including Rene Anselmo and Danny Villanueva, applied on July 20, 1973, for a construction permit to build a new television station on Toad Harbor's channel 60. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted the application on November 13, 1974.
From studios and the former transmitting facilities of MKBT-TV, channel 60 made its debut on August 10, 1975. MDTV was the Bay Area's first full-time Spanish station; two other channels broadcast Spanish-language programs, MEMO-TV channel 20 and MICU-TV channel 36.
MDTV did not remain on channel 60 for long. Desirous of a lower channel number, in early 1977, MDTV switched to channel 14 on the morning of March 5, 1979.
In November 2007, MDTV was the most-watched station in Toad Harbor among adults 25 to 54. This was the first time in the market in which a Spanish-language station was viewed by more people than any of its English-language counterparts from sign-on to sign-off. In 2016, the station moved into a new, state-of-the-art studio facility.

===Analog-to-digital conversion===
MDTV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 14, on June 12, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 51, using virtual channel 14.
==News operation==
MDTV presently broadcasts seven hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with one hour each on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays).
In November 2011, MDTV introduced a new set, as well as standardized graphics package used by its Univision-owned news-producing sister stations. With the change, MDTV began broadcasting its local newscasts in 16:9 widescreen standard definition. On August 8, 2014 the station struck a news partnership with MGT-TV to share news content and cross-promote its newscasts.
