KUAN-LD (channel 48) is a television station licensed to Poway, California, United States, serving as the San Diego-area outlet for the Spanish-language network Telemundo. It is owned and operated by NBCUniversal's Telemundo Station Group alongside NBC station KNSD (channel 39). The two stations share studios on Granite Ridge Drive in the Serra Mesa section of San Diego. Despite KUAN-LD legally holding a low-power license, it transmits using KNSD's full-power spectrum from an antenna southeast of Spring Valley. This ensures complete reception across the San Diego television market.

KUAN is known on-air as Telemundo 20; as with KNSD's main branding, it is derived from its channel 20 cable position on Charter Spectrum, Cox Communications and AT&T U-verse.
