KAIT in Jonesboro, Arkansas is the ABC television affiliate for Northeastern Arkansas and Southeastern Missouri, offering a mix of news and syndicated programming and local broadcasts. The station first signed on July 15, 1963 as an independent, and has been affiliated with ABC since 1965. Its transmitter is located in Egypt, Arkansas. KAIT is owned and operated by Raycom Media.

For many years, KAIT also operated a low-powered translator station K11JW operating on Channel 11 in nearby Blytheville, Arkansas.

KAIT currently uses its digital signal to broadcast a 24-hour weather information channel (8-2).

Beginning at 5 p.m. on October 15, 2007, all of KAIT's local newscasts were re-branded, replacing the former "K8 News" branding with "Region 8 News" - a branding the station had used during much of the 1980s. The station's long-time slogan, "Your Good Neighbor Station," was also replaced with "Always Tracking-Always Watching-Always On."
