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+/Fox 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 and moved from UHF channel 52 to VHF channel 2 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. The deal was completed on August 8, 2013. ==Technical information==
Technical information
Subchannels The station's signal is multiplexed: Translators KUNW's programming is also seen on two additional stations, both serving the Tri-Cities area of Richland, Pasco, and Kennewick: An additional station, KWWA-CA (channel 49, originally K49EI from 1996 to 2001 and KWWA-LP from 2001 to 2003), 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 (FCC) instead of repairing the antenna, and KWWA's license was canceled on June 4, 2008. ==References==
