KBLR is a Telemundo station serving Las Vegas, Nevada, which is owned and operated by NBC Universal. Located at analog channel 39 and digital channel 40, its transmitter is located in Las Vegas on Black Mountain. During the unofficial first year (1988-89) of broadcast, KBLR aired strange African musical footage constantly, though the TV Guide listed other programming, such as "G.I. Joe" and B movies.

On February 23, 2005, NBC bought Telemundo affiliate KBLR from Summit American (formerly Summit Media also owns KDOX) for $32.1 million.
