KIMA-TV, channel 29, is the CBS affiliate serving the Yakima, Washington region. The station is owned by Fisher Communications.

KIMA used to provide most of the programming for satellite stations KEPR-TV in the Tri-Cities and KLEW-TV in Lewiston, Idaho, but all programming is now run out of Fisher Plaza in Seattle along with sister Univision station KUNW-CA. KIMA is also a sister station of ABC affiliate KOMO-TV in Seattle, but they do not share the same broadcast or network.

KIMA's 11 o'clock, morning and weekend newscasts are shared with KEPR. Branded as "KIMA KEPR Action News", they cover both the Yakima Valley and the Columbia Basin.

History

KIMA was the 200th television station in the United States and the first in central Washington, having signed on the air on July 19, 1953. The station was originally owned by Cascade Broadcasting Co., Inc. It carried programming from all three networks until KNDO signed on in 1959 as an ABC affiliate, but KNDO switched affiliations to NBC in 1965. KIMA then shared ABC programming with KNDO until 1970, when KAPP signed on and took over ABC.

At one point, KIMA also had a satellite station in Ephrata, Washington. KBAS-TV signed on the air February 15 1957 on channel 43; it moved to channel 16 in 1958. KBAS was owned by Basin TV Co. (which was a subsidiary of Cascade Broadcasting), and this was reflected in its call letters. KBAS shut down on November 30, 1961.
