KGNS-TV (channel 8) is a television station in Laredo, Texas, United States, affiliated with NBC and ABC.

The three stations share studios on Loop 20 (near SH 359) in Laredo; KGNS-TV's transmitter is located northwest of the city.

[4] By 1998, KGNS gained a secondary affiliation with the United Paramount Network (UPN) lasting at least until 2000[5][6] while definitively off the station by 2004.

[11] In May 2013, SagamoreHill Broadcasting reached a deal to sell KGNS, along with KGWN-TV in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and KSTF in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, to Yellowstone Holdings, a subsidiary of Frontier Radio Management.

On November 11, 2023, KGNS moved its operations from its studios on Del Mar Boulevard to a building located at Loop 20,[17] which was previously used by Entravision-owned KLDO-TV.

In 1990, the station began a Spanish language newscast at 5 p.m. called Noticias en Español with news anchor Hector Lerma.

On April 29, 2002, the Spanish news staff resigned from the station forcing them to run a sitcom in that time slot.

Initially, there was a Sunday morning show, Telemundo Laredo...En tu Casa then expanded on November 18, 2010, with a weeknight 10 p.m.

[11] On June 21, 2008, KGNS-TV began producing a weeknight, 9 p.m. newscast on its CW-affiliated second digital subchannel titled Laredo's First News at 9.
