KIMA-TV, virtual channel 29 (UHF digital channel 33), is a CBS-affiliated television station licensed to Yakima, Washington, United States. The station is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group. KIMA's studios are located on Terrace Heights Boulevard (east of I-82) in Yakima, and its transmitter is located on Ahtanum Ridge.

KIMA operates two semi-satellites–KEPR-TV (channel 19) in the Tri-Cities and KLEW-TV (channel 3) in Lewiston, Idaho. They repeat KIMA most of the day, though they produce their own early evening newscasts, air separate legal identifications and commercial inserts, and have their own websites. KIMA is also a sister station to Class A Univision affiliate KUNW-CD (channel 2). Master control and some internal operations for the four stations are based at KOMO Plaza (formerly Fisher Plaza) in Seattle.

On satellite, Dish Network and DirecTV carry both KIMA-TV and KEPR-TV.

History

KIMA signed on July 19, 1953 as the 200th television station in the United States and the first in central Washington. The station was originally owned by Cascade Broadcasting Company along with KIMA radio (AM 1460, now KUTI). It carried programming from all four networks (but was primarily a CBS affiliate) until KNDO signed on in 1959 as an ABC affiliate (but KNDO switched affiliations to NBC in 1965) and DuMont until its shut down in 1955. KIMA then shared ABC programming with KNDO until 1970, when KAPP signed on and took over ABC, leaving KIMA to become a full-time CBS affiliate.

Just before KIMA signed on, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) collapsed all of central Washington–including the Tri-Cities–into one giant television market. It soon became apparent that channel 29 was not nearly strong enough to cover this vast and mountainous area by itself. With this in mind, in 1954 Cascade signed on KEPR-TV as the first satellite station in the United States. It was originally intended to be a full repeater of KIMA-TV, but due to popular demand it became more of a local station.

At one point, KIMA also had a satellite station in Ephrata, Washington. KBAS-TV signed on the air February 15, 1957 on channel 43; it moved to channel 16 in 1958. KBAS was owned by Basin TV Company, a subsidiary of Cascade Broadcasting, and this was reflected in its call letters. KBAS shut down on November 30, 1961.

Filmways agreed to purchase Cascade Broadcasting for $3 million in 1968;[1] the sale was approved the following year.[2] Cascade's previous owners retained the company's radio stations, which by this point also included the construction permit for KIMA-FM (107.3 FM, now KFFM), under the name Yakima Valley Communications.[1][2] Filmways sold KIMA-TV, KEPR-TV, and KLEW-TV to NWG Broadcasting for $1 million in 1972.[3] Retlaw Enterprises acquired the NWG stations for $17 million in 1986;[4] the stations were operated as part of the Retlaw Broadcasting division.[5] Fisher Communications purchased the Retlaw owned stations in 1999.[6]

On March 29, 2009, KIMA launched a digital subchannel affiliated with The CW to fill the void left by KCWK (Channel 9) going dark at the end of May 2008 due to the Pappas Telecasting bankruptcy.[7] The new channel took KCWK's former Channel 9 position on local cable systems and carries the CW Plus schedule.

On April 11, 2013, Fisher announced that it would sell its properties, including KIMA-TV, to the Sinclair Broadcast Group.[8] The deal was completed on August 8, 2013.[9]
