KUIL-LP is a low-powered FOX affiliate, broadcasting on channel 64 at 25 kW for the Beaumont / Port Arthur, Texas area.

KUIL-LP is owned by National Communications, who also owns Fox affiliate KVHP in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Prior to 2003, KVHP served Beaumont and Port Arthur, in addition to Lake Charles. In 2003, KVHP established KUIL-LP, as a way to provide local ads and UPN programming just for that region, plus alternate coverage of sports that are more relevant to the Beaumont market (such as Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys football).

KUIL's programming can also be seen in both Beaumont and Lake Charles markets on a digital subchannel of KVHP's digital signal, on channel 30.

UPN and The WB merged into The CW, at which point both networks have discontinued. KFDM added the CW to its digital subcarrier channel and KEBQ-LP became the MyNetworkTV affiliate. KUIL reverted back to just simply being a Fox affiliate.
