KUNW-CA, channel 2, is the Univision affiliate for Yakima, Washington. Owned by Fisher Communications, it began broadcasting in the Yakima DMA in 2007. Currently operating at the KIMA studios there. In July 2007, Fisher Communications began broadcasting a regional newscast at 6 and 11pm with anchors Jaime Mendez and Roxy de la Torre from Seattle and Portland respectively, containing content from Seattle, Portland, Yakima and the Tri-Cities. In 2008, the newscast was localized to each market with Iván García as the main anchor for Noticias Noroeste Yakima y Tri-Cities. On September 11, 2009, KUNW-CA began broadcasting a low-power digital signal (KUNW-LD) along with its analog signal.

KUNW's programming is also seen on two additional stations, both serving the Tri-Cities area of Richland, Pasco, and Kennewick, Washington:

Station City of License Analog Channel Began Operation Effective Radiated Power
KVVK-CD Kennewick 15 (UHF) March 15, 1996 15 kW Digital
KORX-CA Walla Walla 16 (UHF) 2001 84.8 kW Analog

An additional station, KWWA-CA channel 49, previously served Ellensburg. However, the station signed off April 17, 2008 after suffering antenna failure[2]; Fisher opted to return the license to the FCC instead of repairing the antenna, and KWWA's license was canceled on June 4, 2008.[3]
