Named for the Valley it serves, KIMA has been the local news leader since signing on air. The station covers the major population base Central Washington, stretching from Ellensburg to Prosser. The area’s economy is dominated by agriculture, and the hospitality industry. Yakima is home of a rich and vibrant Latino community. KIMA has had a long affiliation with CBS and in 2009 added CW to its broa
dcast operations. The station also is the home of KUNW, a full-powered local Spanish Language Univision affiliate. KIMA’s Action News brand of “Taking Action for You” does more than tell the story we are true advocates for our viewers. Another way we are the most connected television stations in our market.
