KWBM is an affiliate of MyNetworkTV in Springfield, Missouri. Much of its programming is picked up via satellite from the Equity Broadcasting's "CASH" hub in Little Rock, Arkansas.

KWBM's main transmitter, on channel 31, is licensed in Harrison, Arkansas and located northeast of Branson, Missouri, with a repeater, KBBL-CA channel 56, in Springfield (renamed on July 14, 2006), and on K61GJ Channel 48 (soon to be "KNJE-CA") in Aurora. Coincidentally, KBBL is a radio station in the fictional town of Springfield in "The Simpsons".

Digital television

Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 [http://www.transmitter.com/FCC97115/chanplan.html] , the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. Instead, on or before February 17, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KWBM will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
