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).

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:
Station | City of license | Digital channel | First air date | ERP |
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]
