KFFS-CD (channel 36) is a low-power, Class A television station in Fayetteville, Arkansas, United States, affiliated with the digital multicast network Court TV. It is owned by Pinnacle Media alongside Bentonville–licensed Univision affiliate KWNL-CD (channel 14). The two stations share studios on North College Avenue in Fayetteville; KFFS-CD's transmitter is located on South 56th Street in Springdale.

KQRY-LD (channel 36) in Lowell is a translator of KFFS-CD, serving the Fort Smith area; this station's transmitter is located near Winslow, Arkansas.

KQRY-LD history

At one point, KQRY-LP (as Univision affiliate KXUN-LP) 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.^[3]

After failing to find a buyer at a bankruptcy auction,^[4] 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^[5]), with Pinnacle assuming control under a local marketing agreement on August 5.^[6]

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. On February 5, 2019, KXUN-LD swapped call signs with KQRY-LD in Sallisaw, Oklahoma.
