KWNL-CA (formerly KBBL-CA) is a Univision affiliate in Winslow, Arkansas, serving the Fort Smith area on VHF channel 9. KWNL-CA is owned and operated by Equity Broadcasting, who also owns local My Network TV affiliate KPBI-CA. The call letters were changed on July 6, 2006.

As of July 14, 2006, the KBBL-CA call letters reappeared on Channel 56 in Springfield, Missouri, curiously the namesake of the Simpsons' fictional hometown. However, that station is a translator of KWBM, Equity's My Network TV station in that market, and likely not inspired by the KBBL-TV of "The Simpsons".

At one point, KWNL aired local newscasts; they were produced out of Little Rock, Arkansas, with reports produced in Fort Smith. The newscasts were canceled in June 2008, after Equity instituted a companywide suspension of news programs.cite news |first=Toby |last=Manthey |title=Equity ends newscasts; N.Y. station buy teeters |url=http://www.nwanews.com/adg/Business/228628/ |work=Arkansas Democrat-Gazette |date=2008-06-14 |accessdate=2008-06-19 ]
