KWNL-CD, virtual channel 31, is the Univision-affiliated television station, serving the Fort Smith area, licensed to Winslow, Arkansas. Owned by Pinnacle Media. The station broadcasts its digital signal on UHF channel 31.
History
The call letters were changed from KBBL-CA to KWNL-CA on July 6, 2006. As of July 14, 2006, the KBBL-CA call letters reappeared on Channel 56 in Springfield, Missouri, curiously the namesake of the Simpsons' fictional hometown. However, that station is a translator of KWBM, Equity's MyNetworkTV station in that market, and likely not inspired by the KBBL-TV of The Simpsons.
At one point, KWNL aired local newscasts; they were produced out of Little Rock, Arkansas, with reports produced in Fort Smith. The newscasts were canceled in June 2008, after then-owner Equity Media Holdings instituted a companywide suspension of news programs.[1]
After failing to find a buyer at a bankruptcy auction,[2] KWNL was sold to Pinnacle Media in August 2009 (after having initially been included in Silver Point Finance's acquisition on June 2 of several Equity stations[3]), with Pinnacle assuming control under a local marketing agreement on August 5.[4]
