KAQY ABC11, is the ABC affiliate for the El Dorado, Arkansas-Monroe, Louisiana market, licensed in Columbia, Louisiana. In addition to its analog channel 11 signal, the station operates a digital signal on UHF channel 57. KAQY's transmitter is located in Columbia, and its studios are in Monroe.

History

KAQY signed on December 10, 1998, returning ABC to the market after its previous affiliate, KARD, became a Fox affiliate in 1994 (in the interim, ABC programming was available on some cable systems via KLAX-TV from Alexandria, Louisiana or KTBS from Shreveport, Louisiana).

Unlike most ABC stations, KAQY does not have a local newscast, instead airing sitcoms in those timeslots.

On June 23, 2008, Monroe Broadcasting filed an application with the FCC to sell KAQY to Parker Broadcasting for $10 million. Included in the application are proposed agreements to allow Hoak Media, the owner of KNOE-TV, to operate the station. Once completed, all four major network affiliates will be operated by two entities.
