A U.S. bankruptcy court has approved the sale of Johnson Broadcasting's KNWS-TV Houston and KLDT-TV Dallas, both independents, to Una Vez Mas Holdings.

The court ordered the sale of the assets Dec. 21, and according to the court-appointed broker Kalil & Co., Una Vez Mas has signed a contract and is filing an application with the FCC for transfer of the licenses.

Michigan-based Johnson Broadcasting has no other broadcast interests, while Una Vez, headed by Terry Crosby and Randy Nonberg, owns 37 TV stations, primarily Azteca America-affiliated low powers.

KNWS and KLDT are full power stations.
