KUNW-CD, virtual channel 2 (UHF digital channel 30), is a low-powered, Class A Univision-affiliated television station licensed to Yakima, Washington, United States. Owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, it is sister to CBS 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.

On April 11, 2013, Fisher Communications announced that it would sell its properties, including KUNW and KIMA, to the Sinclair Broadcast Group.[1] The deal was completed on August 8, 2013.[2]

Translators

KUNW's programming is also seen on two additional stations, both serving the Tri-Cities area of Richland, Pasco, and Kennewick:

KVVK-CD Kennewick 15 (UHF) March 15, 1996 15 kW
KORX-CD Walla Walla 16 (UHF) 2001 1 kW

An additional station, KWWA-CA (channel 49), previously served Ellensburg. However, the station signed off April 17, 2008 after suffering antenna failure.[3] Fisher opted to return the license to the FCC instead of repairing the antenna, and KWWA's license was canceled on June 4, 2008.[4]
