History

KXUN's logo prior to January 1, 2013

At one point, KXUN 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] KXUN 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]

KXUN was previously seen on KPBI's digital subchannel 34.2; after KPBI was sold to Local TV, LLC and renamed KXNW, the KXUN simulcast was replaced with a simulcast of new sister station KFSM-TV.
