{{Template disambiguation}} should never be transcluded in the main namespace.

KAPP is the ABC affiliate for Yakima, Washington, serving the Central Washington area with a mix of news, sports, syndicated fare, and local programming since it first signed on the air on September 21, 1970. KAPP also serves as the satellite station for KVEW/Kennewick, Washington. The station is owned by Morgan Murphy Media.

On satellite, KAPP is only available on DirecTV, while Dish Network carries KVEW instead. Both do not carry either stations' MyNetworkTV subchannel.

History

Before KAPP signed on, KIMA-TV had carried ABC as a secondary affiliation until KNDO signed on in 1959 and became the area's primary ABC affiliate until 1965, when it switched its primary affiliation to NBC. Both KNDO and KIMA-TV shared ABC's programming from that point until KAPP signed on in 1970 and all ABC programming moved to KAPP. The most notable ABC program shown on the station's first day was the first-ever Monday Night Football game.

It began airing Spokane's MyNetworkTV affiliate KXMN-LP on a digital subchannel in September 2006.[1] Just like KVEW, KAPP is one of a few stations that still sign-off at night (around 2-6AM).

On December 22, 2008, KAPP discontinued its 6 pm and weekend newscasts you a bum you butt butt hole butt joll so this is my last news cast and peice my nigg so by fsed. The 11pm newscast is 5 minutes long and all weather reports come from Spokane as well. In addition to this move, 17 employees from KVEW and KAPP were laid off[2] and the building listed for sale.[3]

KAPP has been digital-only since February 17, 2009.[4]

KAPP-TV is rebroadcast on one low-powered digital translator in Ellensburg, Washington that is not owned and operated by KAPP-TV and Morgan Murphy Media.[5]
