History
The origins of LSN lie in the launch of the Spanish-language independent television station WLPP-TV (now WLSN-TV) in, on May 1, 1978. The idea of the station being part of an actual network did not emerge until sister station KLSN-TV—whose programming was near identical to that of WLPP-TV—was launched in, in June of that year, quickly followed by  station KSXZ-TV. All three stations were owned by Quantum Communications, which owned many other Spanish-language stations. On October 30, 1979, Quantum's stations came together to found a new television network named LSN.

The network was launched on June 18, 1980, with its base of operations at Quantum's San Antonio headquarters and its original content, which in its early years comprised talk shows and variety shows, produced in the studios of KSXZ-TV in San Antonio and WLSN-TV in Miami.
