KUNW-CD (channel 2) 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 (channel 29). The two stations share studios on Terrace Heights Boulevard in Yakima; KUNW-CD's transmitter is located on Ahtanum Ridge.
Histoey
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.[1]
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.[2] In 2008, Fisher changed the station's call sign to KUNW-LP to reflect its Univision affiliation and its location in the Pacific Northwest.[3]
On April 11, 2013, Fisher Communications announced that it would sell its properties, including KUNW and KIMA, to the Sinclair Broadcast Group.[4] The deal was completed on August 8, 2013.[5]

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.[7] Fisher opted to return the license to the FCC instead of repairing the antenna, and KWWA's license was canceled on June 4, 2008.[8]
