KUIL-LP is a low-powered FOX affiliate, broadcasting on analog channel 64 and digital channel 36 (as KUIL-LD) for the Beaumont / Port Arthur, Texas area. KUIL is also available nationwide as a free to air broadcast, via satellite on AMC 4 (101º W).

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 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).

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 (now KUMY-LP) became the MyNetworkTV affiliate. KUIL reverted back to just simply being a Fox affiliate.

In November 2007, KUIL signed on its digital signal on channel 36, one of several low-powered stations to have both analog and digital signals. ([1])
