KUNW-CD

KUNW-CD is a low-power, Class A television station in Yakima, Washington, United States, affiliated with the Spanish-language network Univision. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside CBS/CW+ affiliate KIMA-TV. The two stations share studios on Terrace Heights Boulevard in Yakima; KUNW-CD's transmitter is located on Ahtanum Ridge.

History

The station was a Telemundo affiliate the time it changed call signs from K52EQ to KKFQ-LP on January 4, 2001. By 2003, KKFQ was a simulcast of KPOU, the Univision affiliate in La Grande, Oregon.
WatchTV sold KKFQ-CA, along with KVVK-CA in Kennewick, KWWA-CA in Ellensburg, and KORX-CA in Walla Walla, to Fisher Communications in 2007. Fisher had already programmed the stations under a local marketing agreement since 2006. In 2008, Fisher changed the station's call sign to KUNW-LP to reflect its Univision affiliation and its location in the Pacific Northwest.
On April 11, 2013, Fisher Communications announced that it would sell its properties, including KUNW and KIMA, to the Sinclair Broadcast Group. The deal was completed on August 8, 2013.

An additional station, KWWA-CA, previously served Ellensburg. However, the station signed off April 17, 2008, after suffering antenna failure. Fisher opted to return the license to the Federal Communications Commission instead of repairing the antenna, and KWWA's license was canceled on June 4, 2008.
