KPMF-LD is a low-powered digital television station that is licensed to Paragould, Arkansas, and slated to serve the Jonesboro media market. The station is owned by DTV America Corporation. The station’s digital signal is broadcast on UHF channel 26.

History

Although granted a construction permit in 2012 by the Federal Communications Commission, the station was still silent. The original callsign was K26MF-D from 2012 until January 2016, when the callsign was changed to the current KPMF-LD.

While the first three subchannels remain dark, in May 2016, KPMF signed on virtual channel 26.4 as an affiliate of The Country Network (formerly Zuus Country). The first three subchannels could go on the air later as affiliates of other multi-cast digital networks such as Buzzr, Bounce TV or Doctor Television Channel. Either KPMF or sister station K30MF-D could take Antenna TV and MyNetworkTV affiliations for the Jonesboro market. DTV America owned one other construction permit for K30OR-D, which is rumored to become an over-the-air relaunch of “KJOS”, the area’s cable-exclusive affiliate of The CW via The CW Plus.
