KXNW
MyNetworkTV affiliate in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, United States
KXNW (channel 34) is a television station in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, United States, serving Northwest Arkansas and the Arkansas River Valley. It is programmed primarily as an independent station, but maintains a secondary affiliation with MyNetworkTV. KXNW is owned by Nexstar Media Group alongside NBC affiliate KNWA-TV (channel 51) and Fox affiliate KFTA-TV (channel 24); Nexstar's Tegna subsidiary owns CBS affiliate KFSM-TV (channel 5). KXNW, KNWA-TV and KFTA-TV share studios on Dickson Street in downtown Fayetteville, with a satellite studio in Rogers and a news bureau and sales office on Kelley Highway in Fort Smith. Although Eureka Springs is located in the Springfield, Missouri, media market, Nielsen considers KXNW to be part of the Fort Smith–Fayetteville market.
KXNW's transmitter is located on Humphrey Mountain near Garfield. Even though it broadcasts a digital signal of its own, its broadcasting radius does not reach Fort Smith. Therefore, the station is simulcast in high definition on KFTA-TV's fifth digital subchannel from a transmitter in unincorporated northeastern Crawford County (south of Artist Point). Instead of channel 24.5, KFTA-DT5 maps to channel 34.1.
History
Channel 34 began operations on June 19, 2000, as KWBS-TV, which stood for "WB Springfield"; however, original station owner Equity Broadcasting decided to make another new station, Harrison-based KWBM (channel 31), as the WB affiliate for Springfield, and KWBS instead became affiliated with Pax (now Ion Television). KWBS dropped the Pax affiliation in 2003 in favor of the Equity-owned Lick TV, which was a short-lived network that broadcast professional wrestling events.
