KHBS, channel 40, is the ABC-affiliated television station in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Its transmitter is located northwest of Poteau, Oklahoma. The station operates a full-time satellite, KHOG-TV channel 29, in Fayetteville. This station's transmitter is located southeast of the city. Both stations are owned by Hearst-Argyle Television and are normally referred to as one entity, "40/29 News".

The stations have studios located on Ajax Avenue in Rogers. KHBS operates a Fort Smith Newsroom on North Albert Pike. KHOG operates one in Fayetteville as well. The two stations operate the area's CW affiliate on their second digital subchannel. Known on-air as "Arkansas CW", it is also offered on Cox Communications systems -- channel 4 in Fayetteville, channel 22 in Fort Smith, and channel 17 in Siloam Springs.

History

Channel 40 began as CBS affiliate KFPW-TV on July 28, 1971. It became the second station to launch in the market after VHF station KFSM-TV signed on. On December 8, 1977, KTVP channel 29 in Fayetteville signed on as a satellite station of KFPW. It was Fayetteville's second attempt at a commercial television station, after KGTO-TV. That station aired NBC and CBS programming in the area on channel 36. After a few years, it went dark in the early-1970s. cite web| title=Missouri Edition|url=http://www.mcsittel.com/html/tvg-mo.htm|accessdate=2006-11-09]

Both stations have changed callsigns and their affiliation in their history. In 1978, they moved from CBS to ABC. KFTA-TV had just signed on at the time and took the CBS affiliation from the start just like channel 40. In 1983, KFPW changed its call letters to KHBS and four years later in 1987 KTVP became KHOG-TV. In October of 2007, KHBS and KHOG-TV moved their operations to new, state of the art studios in Rogers.Fact|date=April 2008

On April 28, 2008, KHBS and KHOG-TV launched new second digital subchannels to carry The CW. This complimented a cable-only CW affiliate operated by Cox Communications known as having the fictional callsign, "KCWA". With the addition of the new channels, there is a possibility of new newscasts. cite web|title=KHBS, KHOG Offer The CW on Digital Channel|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6549462.html|publisher=Broadcasting & Cable|accessdate=2008-04-09] [ [http://www.tvnewsday.com/articles/2008/04/08/daily.13/ Tvnewsday - Cw Signs Digital Affils In Arkansas ] ] [ [http://www.4029tv.com/news/15798741/detail.html 40/29 To Add CW Network - Local News Story - KHBS NW Arkansas ] ]
